Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for SQL Server now supports setting up cross-region read replicas in 16 additional AWS Regions. Cross-region read replicas enable customers to provide a replica database for read-only applications closer to users in a different region, and scale out read-only workloads. Since a read replica can be “promoted” to a standalone production database, cross-region read replicas can also be used for disaster recovery in case of regional failures. Customers can setup up to fifteen read replicas in the same or different region as the primary database instance.
This launch adds support for cross-region read replicas in RDS for SQL Server in the following AWS Regions: Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), Asia Pacific (Jakarta), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (Melbourne), Asia Pacific (Taipei), Asia Pacific (Thailand), Canada West (Calgary), Europe (Milan), Europe (Spain), Europe (Zurich), Israel (Tel Aviv), Mexico (Central), Middle East (Bahrain), and Middle East (UAE). To get started, visit the Amazon RDS SQL Server User Guide.
