Amazon Redshift has announced the general availability of Multi-AZ deployments for RA3 clusters in two additional AWS regions: Asia Pacific (Thailand) and Mexico (Central).

• Multi-AZ deployments enable running data warehouses across multiple Availability Zones
• Raises the Service Level Agreement (SLA) to 99.99%
• Provides fast failover times and simplified operations for mission-critical workloads
• Automatically recovers in another AZ during potential Availability Zone failures
• Maximizes query processing throughput by using compute resources from multiple AZs

The feature is now available through the Redshift Console, API, and CLI, targeting enterprise customers with high-availability data warehouse requirements.
