How can Amazon Aurora achieve cross-region replication and disaster recovery?
Amazon Aurora is a relational database service that enables cross-region replication and disaster recovery. The steps to achieve cross-region replication and disaster recovery are as follows:
- Create a cross-region replication for an Aurora instance: Create a new Aurora instance on the Amazon Aurora console, and select the source instance and target region to replicate.
- Set up cross-region replication: Configure cross-region replication on the newly created Aurora instance to ensure that data can be synchronized between the source and target instances.
- Enable automatic failover: Configure the automatic failover option on the Amazon Aurora console to ensure seamless switching to the target instance in case of a failure in the source instance.
- Regularly test disaster recovery capabilities to ensure quick data recovery in the event of a disaster.
By following these steps, you can enable Amazon Aurora’s cross-region replication and disaster recovery features, ensuring data synchronization and security between different regions.
