RTO
Recovery Time Objective
Definition
RTO is the maximum acceptable duration of a service outage after a disaster before business operations are critically impacted. A 4-hour RTO allows up to 4 hours to restore service.
RTO drives architectural choices: active-active multi-region achieves RTO near zero, warm standby enables RTO in minutes, and cold standby may require hours. Lower RTO targets require proportionally more investment.
