With AWS ap-southeast-6 (Auckland) now open, New Zealand organizations can repatriate workloads from Sydney. This advanced session provides practical migration strategies minimizing downtime and eliminating data loss across every layer of your stack. You'll learn region-to-region migration patterns for: *Storage*: S3 replication, EBS snapshots, EFS cross-region transfers *Databases*: RDS read replicas, DynamoDB global tables, self-managed EC2 database replication *Applications*: Lambda, ECS/EKS workload migration, EC2 AMI copying Walk away with a prioritized migration playbook, realistic RTO/RPO targets, and battle-tested sequencing strategies for large-scale data transfers without extended application outages.
What this session is about
Playbook
Editorial commentary · what to actually do about this on Monday
The concept
AWS NZ region (ap-southeast-6) now open. Migration patterns for storage (S3 replication, EBS snapshots, EFS), databases (RDS replicas, DynamoDB global tables), applications (Lambda, ECS/EKS, EC2 AMIs).
Why it matters
NZ data sovereignty was a barrier; now resolved. Repatriation from Sydney is now viable for NZ customers.
The hard parts
Cross-region replication, DNS cutover, RDS read-replica promotion. Sequencing matters.
Playbook moves
(1) Tiered cutover by service criticality. (2) Practise on staging that mirrors prod's region topology. (3) Test rollback paths — region-to-region rollback is non-trivial.
The surprise
NZ region opens up GovTech NZ in ways the Sydney region couldn't. The compliance change unlocks a market segment that wasn't accessible before. Sales conversations shift from "but our data" to "show me the integration."
