Pilot light with reserved capacity: How to optimize DR cost using On-Demand Capacity Reservations

In this post, we explore an intermediate strategy between the pilot light and the warm standby strategies: pilot light with reserved capacity. You can use this strategy to reserve compute capacity in a secondary Region while also limiting cost.
