<a name="security-iam-awsmanpol-AWSElasticDisasterRecoveryEc2InstancePolicy"></a>

This policy allows installing and using the AWS Replication Agent, which is used by AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) to recover source servers that run on EC2 (cross-Region, cross-AZ or cross-Account). An IAM role with this policy should be attached (as an EC2 Instance Profile) to the EC2 Instances.
