Changing AZs for a Cluster Instance

Function

An availability zone (AZ) is a physical region where resources use independent power supplies and networks. AZs in the same region can communicate with each other through internal networks but are physically isolated.

Multi-AZ deployment is a high-availability solution provided by CSS. You can deploy a cluster across two or three AZs in the same region. This helps prevent data loss and lower the risk of downtime.

This API is used to change AZs by specifying node types.
