Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for SQL Server now supports Multi-AZ deployment for SQL Server Web Edition. SQL Server Web Edition is specifically designed to support public and internet-accessible web pages, websites, web applications, and web services, and is used by web hosters and web value-added providers (VAPs). These applications need high availability, and automated failover to recover from hardware and database failures. Now customers can use SQL Server Web Edition with Amazon RDS Multi-AZ deployment option, which provides a high availability solution. The new feature eliminates the need for customers to use more expensive options for high availability, such as using SQL Server Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition.
To use the feature, customers simply configure their Amazon RDS for SQL Server Web Edition instance with Multi-AZ deployment option. Amazon RDS automatically provisions and maintains a standby replica in a different Availability Zone (AZ), and synchronously replicates data across the two AZs. In situations where your Multi-AZ primary database becomes unavailable, Amazon RDS automatically fails over to the standby replica, so customers can resume database operations quickly and without any administrative intervention.
For more information about Multi-AZ deployment for RDS SQL Server Web Edition, refer to the Amazon RDS for SQL Server User Guide. See Amazon RDS for SQL Server Pricing for pricing details and regional availability.
