Control: AWS > CIS v6.0 > 3 - Storage > 3.02 - Relational Database Service (RDS) > 3.02.04 - Ensure Multi-AZ deployments are used for enhanced availability in Amazon RDS

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1

Amazon RDS offers Multi-AZ deployments that provide enhanced availability and durability for your databases, using synchronous replication to replicate data to a standby instance in a different Availability Zone (AZ). In the event of an infrastructure failure, Amazon RDS automatically fails over to the standby to minimize downtime and ensure business continuity.
