Multi-AZ deployment protects your databases against instance failures or AZ outages. For information about regions and supported AZs, see Regions and AZs. TencentDB for MySQL multi-AZ deployment provides high availability and failover support for database instances. A multi-AZ is a physical area formed by combining multiple single AZs within the same region at the single-AZ level.
Note:
Two-Node, Three-Node, and Four-Node instances:
Regardless of whether the instances in a database cluster span multiple AZs, the high availability of each TencentDB for MySQL instance is ensured by its real-time hot standby secondary server.
In a multi-AZ deployment, TencentDB for MySQL automatically provisions and maintains a synchronous standby replica across different AZs.
The primary database instance is synchronously replicated to the standby replica across AZs to provide data redundancy, eliminate I/O freezes, and minimize latency spikes during system backups.
Cloud disk-based instances:
Replica nodes support read-only access. A cloud disk-based instance can contain only one primary node (read-write node) and up to five replica nodes (read-only nodes).
All read-only nodes in a cloud disk-based instance support AZ configuration, which must be in the same region as the read-write node.
