Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1

Amazon RDS Multi-AZ deployments provide enhanced availability and durability for Database Instances, making them a natural fit for production database workloads. When you provision a Multi-AZ DB Instance, Amazon RDS automatically creates a primary DB Instance and synchronously replicates the data to a standby instance in a different Availability Zone.
