Multi-AZ deployment protects your database from being affected by database instance failures and AZ outages. For more information, please see Regions and AZs.
The multi-AZ deployment scheme of TencentDB for MySQL guarantees the high availability and failover capability of database instances by combining multiple AZs into a single "multi-AZ".

• No matter whether the TencentDB for MySQL instances in a database cluster are running across multiple AZs or not, each instance has a slave for real-time hot backup to ensure high database availability.
• With multi-AZ deployment, TencentDB for MySQL automatically presets and maintains a sync slave replica in a different AZ.
• The master database instance is synchronously replicated to the slave replica across AZs to provide data redundancy, eliminate I/O freezes, and minimize latency during system backups.

Supported Regions

The multi-AZ deployment scheme of TencentDB for MySQL is currently available in Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou regions.
