Changing Cluster DCS Instances to be Across AZs

Notes and Constraints

• Available only for single-AZ cluster instances with two or more replicas.
• When you enable multi-AZ for a Proxy Cluster instance:
  • Service running may fluctuate during the change. Perform this operation during off-peak hours.
  • If your application cannot reconnect or handle exceptions, try restarting the application after the change.
• When you enable multi-AZ for a Redis Cluster instance:
  • Changing AZs will not interrupt services or the master node, but will slightly affect performance. Perform this operation during off-peak hours.
  • Changing AZs interrupts connections to some replicas. Ensure your application can automatically recover from exceptions and reconnect to Redis.
