Guided Lab: Enabling Multi-AZ on Amazon RDS
Description
Enabling Multi-AZ on Amazon RDS ensures high availability and durability for your database instances. When you opt for a Multi-AZ deployment, Amazon RDS automatically replicates the data to a standby instance in a different Availability Zone (AZ). The beauty of this setup is that it offers automatic failover: if your primary database instance encounters issues or the AZ it’s in experiences problems, RDS will automatically switch to the standby instance with minimal disruption. This is crucial for maintaining continuous operations and preventing data loss. Multi-AZ deployments are ideal for mission-critical database workloads, where uptime and data integrity are most important.
