# Real-time RPO replication

## Details about real-time data replication in Arpio

### **Understanding your real-time recovery-point objective (RPO)**

Your recovery point objective is defined by the maximum gap of time your business application can afford to be down before service is restored. When real-time replication is selected for a supported resource, your RPO will be reduced to seconds.

Arpio achieves real time replication by leveraging various native capabilities of the cloud provider.

### **AWS**

 Supported resource types for AWS Real-time replication in Arpio are:

- [Amazon EC2 Instances](https://docs.arpio.io/real-time-ec2-replication-faq?hsLang=en)
- [Amazon RDS Aurora Clusters](https://docs.arpio.io/how-does-real-time-replication-work-for-rds?hsLang=en)
- [Amazon DynamoDB Tables](https://docs.arpio.io/dynamodb?hsLang=en)
- [Amazon S3 Buckets](https://docs.arpio.io/s3?hsLang=en)

For these resources, Arpio achieves real time replication by leveraging various native capabilities of AWS.

#### **Enabling real-time RPOs**

For any AWS application in Arpio, you can enable a recovery point objective of "real-time" by adjusting the RPO slider in your application settings to the furthest left position.

![Real-time RPO](https://docs.arpio.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-06-20%20at%2012.13.55%20PM.png?width=670&height=197&name=Screenshot%202023-06-20%20at%2012.13.55%20PM.png)

When the Recovery point objective is set to Real-time replication, Arpio will automatically begin real-time replication for any supported resources. If additional configuration is required, Arpio will surface that information via an subsequent issue.

**Note**: to enable real time replication for Amazon EC2 instances, Arpio relies on an integration with AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery. [Click here](https://docs.arpio.io/real-time-replication-ec2?hsLang=en) for more information on how to configure this feature in your environment.

#### **Real-time resources in your recovery environment with non-real-time resources**

When you have real-time replication enabled for an application that includes other resources that are not real-time replicated, Arpio will apply the lowest RPO it can to them. Usually around 15 minutes.

### **Azure**

Currently, Azure does not support selectable Real-Time Replication of resources. Azure uses Real-Time Replication for the following resources by default:

- Storage Accounts
- Blob Containers
- Azure SQL Databases
