Amazon RDS for SQL Server supports read replicas with additional storage volumes in China regions
Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for SQL Server now supports read replicas for database instances with additional storage volumes, in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. Additional storage volumes allow customers to scale database storage up to 256 TiB by adding up to three storage volumes, each with up to 64 TiB, in addition to the primary storage volume. With this launch, customers can create cross-region read replicas for database instances configured with additional storage volumes, enabling low-latency reads closer to end users and providing a foundation for disaster recovery across Amazon Web Services China regions.
When a read replica is created for a database instance with additional storage volumes, the replica preserves the storage layout of the source instance, including the configuration of any additional storage volumes. After the initial creation, you can independently manage additional storage volume configurations on the source and read replica instances.
Customers can start using this feature today through the Amazon Web Services Management Console, Amazon CLI, or Amazon SDKs. To learn more, refer to the Amazon RDS for SQL Server User Guide.
