Amazon Redshift Multi-AZ is generally available for RA3 clusters in 2 additional AWS regions

Amazon Redshift is announcing the general availability of Multi-AZ deployments for RA3 clusters in the Asia Pacific (Thailand) and Mexico (Central) AWS regions. Redshift Multi-AZ deployments support running your data warehouse in multiple AWS Availability Zones (AZ) simultaneously and continue operating in unforeseen failure scenarios. A Multi-AZ deployment raises the [Amazon Redshift Service Level Agreement](https://aws.amazon.com/redshift/sla/) (SLA) to 99.99% and delivers a highly available data warehouse for the most demanding mission-critical workloads. Enterprise customers with mission critical workloads require a data warehouse with fast failover times and simplified operations that minimizes impact to applications. Redshift Multi-AZ deployment helps meet these demands by reducing recovery time and automatically recovering in another AZ during an unlikely event such as an AZ failure. A Redshift Multi-AZ data warehouse also maximizes query processing throughput by operating in multiple AZs and using compute resources from both AZs to process read and write queries. Amazon Redshift Multi-AZ is now generally available for RA3 clusters through the Redshift Console, API and CLI. For all regions where Multi-AZ is available, see the [supported AWS regions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/overview-multi-az.html#limitations-multi-az).
