Amazon Aurora Cross-Region Read Replicas

Watch out for this on the exam!

Just announced by AWS Cross-Region Read Replicas for Amazon Aurora. You can now create Aurora read replicas in another region to the master. Creating the new read replica also creates an Aurora cluster that can contain up to 15 more read replicas!

We will be updating the course material with the changes. In the meantime, more details in the docs: Replicating Amazon Aurora DB Clusters Across AWS Regions.
