Overview of Disaster Recovery Protection Groups

A Disaster Recovery (DR) Protection Group is a consistency grouping created for the purposes of disaster recovery. A DR Protection Group groups together all the components of a full stack application so that you can recover all the components together to restore the full stack application.

Only OCI resources, such as compute instances, volume groups, and Oracle Databases can be added to a DR Protection Group. These resources are referred to as members of the DR Protection Group. A DR Protection Group is exclusively paired with only one other DR Protection Group to form a peer relationship.
Typically, each of the DR Protection Groups in a peer relationship exists in separate regions so that you can use the two DR Protection Groups to perform cross-region disaster recovery. However, you can also perform disaster recovery across Availability Domains (ADs) within the same region.
A DR Protection Group is a region-specific OCI resource and does not migrate across regions. However, depending on the DR configuration and topology, members contained in a DR Protection Group, such as compute instances, can migrate to other regions and become members of the peer DR Protection Group.
