Multi-Az — AWS Solutions Architect Associate Practice Questions
Multi-AZ is an RDS and other AWS service feature that maintains a synchronous standby replica in a different Availability Zone to provide automatic failover in the event of an infrastructure failure. For RDS, Multi-AZ is primarily a high availability mechanism, not a read-scaling solution, and failover happens automatically without manual intervention. The exam tests the distinction between Multi-AZ for availability and read replicas for scaling, and candidates must know which scenario calls for each.
