Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) on AWS Outposts now supports Read Replicas. Amazon RDS Read Replicas provide enhanced performance and durability for RDS database (DB) instances. They provide the option to elastically scale out beyond the capacity constraints of a single DB instance for read-heavy database workloads. You can create one or more replicas of a given source DB instance and serve high-volume application read traffic from multiple copies of your data, thereby increasing aggregate read throughput. Read replicas can also be promoted when needed to become standalone DB instances.
Amazon RDS on AWS Outposts now also allows you to create Read Replicas of your DB instances on the same Outpost or across Outposts, providing both scale out read performance as well as part of a disaster recovery solution.
Additionally, you may also create Amazon RDS Read Replicas on Amazon RDS Multi-AZ instance deployments on Outposts, which can provide additional disaster recovery capabilities to your highly-available Amazon RDS on AWS Outposts instances.
