Answer from AI
Amazon RDS supports replication setup at multiple levels:
- Intra-Availability Zone (AZ) Replication — to increase fault tolerance within a single zone.
- Inter-Zone Replication (Multi-AZ) — automatic data duplication across different availability zones to ensure high availability.
- Read Replicas — creating copies of the database in one or more zones or regions for read scaling and geographic distribution.
Thus, three main levels or zones of replication setup can be distinguished: within a single AZ, between AZs (Multi-AZ), and between regions (Read Replicas).
