News
The article discusses Amazon DocumentDB's new Global Cluster Failover feature, which provides a fully managed experience for performing a cross-region failover to respond to unplanned events such as regional outages.
Specifically, the article covers:
- Global Cluster Failover allows converting a secondary region into the new primary region in typically a minute, while maintaining the multi-region Global Cluster configuration.
- Amazon DocumentDB Global Clusters can span up to 6 AWS Regions, enabling disaster recovery from region-wide outages and low latency global reads.

- Amazon DocumentDB makes it easy and cost-effective to operate critical document workloads in a highly-available manner at virtually any scale without managing infrastructure.
