Explanation
AWS Backup provides a fully managed, centralized way to back up AWS resources, including EC2 instances and their attached EBS volumes. By creating a backup plan that includes the EC2 instances and configuring cross-Region backup, the solution ensures both the configurations and data are recoverable in a secondary Region with minimal operational overhead compared with managing Lambda snapshots manually.
