In a stroke of unfortunate luck, the insurance company faced another crisis when one of their own staff members accidentally deleted a VPC configuration. The employee, who was not aware of the importance of the VPC configuration, thought that by removing it, they could reduce the risk of a ransomware attack.
The accidental deletion of the VPC configuration resulted in the complete shutdown of the company’s website, leaving customers unable to access the company’s services. The IT team was immediately alerted, and they began troubleshooting the issue, only to find out that the VPC configuration was missing.
VPC Configuration Restore — restores an entire VPC configuration.
Selected Items Restore — restores the selected VPC configuration items.
You can restore the VPC configuration data to the most recent state or to any available restore point.
When restoring VPC route tables, mind that routes that had the blackhole state when a restore point was created will not be restored and a restore session will complete with warning. In this case, it is recommended to check the restored target route table configurations in the AWS Management Console to ensure that all traffic flows correctly. To learn how to configure routes in route tables, see AWS Documentation.
