Supported Regions and DB engines for Multi-AZ DB clusters in Amazon RDS

Focus mode
Supported Regions and DB engines for Multi-AZ DB clusters in Amazon RDS - Amazon Relational Database Service

A Multi-AZ DB cluster deployment in Amazon RDS provides a high availability deployment mode of Amazon RDS with two readable standby DB instances. A Multi-AZ DB cluster has a writer DB instance and two reader DB instances in three separate Availability Zones in the same Region. Multi-AZ DB clusters provide high availability, increased capacity for read workloads, and lower write latency when compared to Multi-AZ DB instance deployments. For more information, see Multi-AZ DB cluster deployments for Amazon RDS.

Multi-AZ DB clusters aren't available with the following engines:

  • RDS for Db2

  • RDS for MariaDB

  • RDS for Oracle

  • RDS for SQL Server

You can list the available versions in a Region for a given DB instance class using the AWS CLI. Change the DB instance class to show the available engine versions for it.

For Linux, macOS, or Unix:

aws rds describe-orderable-db-instance-options \ --engine mysql \ --db-instance-class db.r5d.large \ --query '*[]|[?SupportsClusters == `true`].[EngineVersion]' \ --output text

For Windows:

aws rds describe-orderable-db-instance-options ^ --engine mysql ^ --db-instance-class db.r5d.large ^ --query "*[]|[?SupportsClusters == `true`].[EngineVersion]" ^ --output text
