💼 [Redshift.18] Redshift clusters should have Multi-AZ deployments enabled

  • ID: /frameworks/aws-fsbp-v1.0.0/redshift/18

Description​

Amazon Redshift supports multiple Availability Zones (Multi-AZ) deployments for provisioned clusters. If Multi-AZ deployments are enabled for a cluster, an Amazon Redshift data warehouse can continue operating in failure scenarios when an unexpected event happens in an Availability Zone (AZ). A Multi-AZ deployment deploys compute resources in more than one AZ and these compute resources can be accessed through a single endpoint. In the event of an entire AZ failure, the remaining compute resources in another AZ are available to continue processing workloads. You can convert an existing Single-AZ data warehouse to a Multi-AZ data warehouse. Additional compute resources are then provisioned in a second AZ.
