Why Can't I Purchase Read Replicas on the RDS Console?

Read replicas cannot be purchased separately. A single-node or primary/standby DB instance must be purchased first. A read replica uses an IP address independent from that of the DB instance it is associated with.

For details about RDS for MariaDB read replicas, see Introduction to Read Replicas.
