StartReplicaGroupDrill -

Starts a disaster recovery drill in a replication pair-consistent group to ensure the continued replication and clone the data from the last recovery point of the secondary disk to a new disk. This helps you verify the integrity and correctness of applications that are deployed at the disaster recovery site on a regular basis.

After the disaster recovery drill is complete on secondary disks, a pay-as-you-go drill disk is created in the zone where the secondary disk of each replication pair resides. The latest-recovery-point data is restored to the drill disks to verify the integrity and correctness of applications.
