Impact

Amazon RDS Multi-AZ deployments provide enhanced availability for databases within a single region. In the event of a planned or unplanned outage of your DB instance, Amazon RDS automatically switches to a standby replica in another Availability Zone if you have enabled Multi-AZ. RDS Multi-AZ deployments offer the following benefits:

. Enhanced durability.

. Increased availability.

. Protection of your database performance.

. Automatic failover.
