[Amazon MQ](https://aws.amazon.com/amazon-mq/) now supports cross-region data replication for ActiveMQ brokers on Amazon MQ. This feature allows you to build regionally resilient messaging applications using continuous asynchronous message replication from a primary broker to a replica broker in a standby AWS region with a few clicks, eliminating the need to use third-party tools or custom code to replicate data between regions. Cross-region data replication enables messages to be replicated across ActiveMQ brokers in different regions with robust monitoring metrics. In case of a regional failure, you can trigger a failover quickly and confidently from the primary to standby region, allowing you to resume operations. Cross-region data replication pricing consists of cross-region data replication charges, plus broker instance and storage charges for both brokers. Data transfer between the primary AWS Region and a secondary AWS Region is billed based on the data transfer pricing of the applicable AWS Regions. See [Amazon MQ pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/amazon-mq/pricing/) for pricing of replication, instances, storage and data transfer. You can enable cross-region data replication between ActiveMQ brokers on Amazon MQ in all the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio), US East (N.Virginia), US West (Oregon), and US West (N.California).
