Today, we’re proud to announce that ControlMonkey has entered into a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS).
This marks an exciting milestone for ControlMonkey and a meaningful step forward in our relationship with AWS. More importantly, it reflects something we believe is happening across the industry:
Cloud recovery is changing.
For years, disaster recovery strategies focused primarily on recovering data. That foundation remains essential, but modern cloud environments depend on much more.
Organizations are discovering that meeting their Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) is no longer just about restoring data quickly. It also depends on restoring the infrastructure configuration, identity, networking, security controls, and operational state that production environments rely on.
Recovering production environments is no longer just about bringing data back online.It’s about restoring a trusted operating environment.
That’s the challenge ControlMonkey is focused on solving, and the opportunity behind our collaboration with AWS.
Better Together: Why AWS and ControlMonkey Are Collaborating
AWS Backup, AWS Resilience Hub, and Amazon Application Recovery Controller provide customers with a strong foundation for application, infrastructure, and data resilience.
ControlMonkey complements these services by continuously discovering, versioning, and protecting the infrastructure and control-plane configurations that traditional backup platforms were never designed to capture.
Together, AWS and ControlMonkey help customers build a more complete resilience posture – combining data recovery with infrastructure configuration recovery to reduce RTO and restore production environments with greater confidence.
As Ed Pozarycki, SA Director, Customer Resilience Engineering at Amazon Web Services, explains:
Customers using AWS Resilience Hub, Amazon Application Recovery Controller, and AWS Backup have a strong foundation for application, infrastructure, and data resilience,. Protecting infrastructure and control-plane configurations with tools like ControlMonkey’s will further enhance resilience for production environments. We’re very happy to help bring these options to more businesses with cloud infrastructure running on AWS.
That shared vision is what makes this collaboration meaningful.
What Customers Gain
The Strategic Collaboration Agreement brings AWS and ControlMonkey teams closer together around one objective: helping customers improve recovery readiness across modern AWS environments.
Together, AWS and ControlMonkey help organizations build a more complete resilience posture by combining trusted data recovery with infrastructure configuration recovery.
Faster, More Predictable Recovery
Recovery readiness is not determined during an outage. It is built long before one happens.
By continuously discovering cloud resources, tracking configuration changes, preserving versioned recovery points, and identifying infrastructure drift, ControlMonkey helps organizations reduce uncertainty during recovery, shorten RTO, and restore known-good production environments with greater confidence.
A Joint Customer Experience
Customers benefit from closer collaboration between AWS and ControlMonkey teams across architecture guidance, cloud resilience initiatives, and specialized AWS environments.
The goal is simple: help organizations operationalize cloud recovery with greater confidence and consistency.
Simplified Procurement Through AWS Marketplace
ControlMonkey is available through AWS Marketplace, making it easier for organizations to procure, deploy, and expand cloud resilience capabilities using existing AWS commercial relationships.
The Future of Recovery
Cloud recovery is becoming a business continuity issue, not just an infrastructure concern.
As AWS environments grow more complex, organizations need confidence that they can recover both their data and the infrastructure configuration behind it. Because restoring one without the other increases recovery time, extends operational disruption, and makes achieving recovery objectives far more difficult.
Together, AWS and ControlMonkey are helping customers build a more complete, predictable, and provable resilience posture—one that combines trusted data recovery with trusted infrastructure configuration recovery.
Because recovery is no longer measured by what was backed up. It is measured by how quickly the business can return to a trusted operating state.
