Databases Not Multi-AZ (Availability Zone)

This bot identifies database instances not running in a multi-az mode. When in this mode, cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services automatically provisions and maintains a synchronous standby replica in a different AZ. The primary DB instance is replicated across Availability Zones to a standby replica to provide data redundancy, eliminate I/O freezes, and minimize latency spikes during system backups.

Recommended Action

Redeploy your database instance with Multi-AZ enabled. This currently is no way to enable/disable this feature on the fly, and therfore correcting this action requires data migration.
