Why did my Amazon RDS DB instance fail over?
I want to know why my Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) DB instance failed over.
Resolution
Note: If you receive errors when you run AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) commands, then see Troubleshooting errors for the AWS CLI. Also, make sure that you're using the most recent AWS CLI version.
When a planned or an unplanned outage for a Multi-AZ DB instance occurs, Amazon RDS automatically switches to a standby replica or secondary instance in another Availability Zone. This switch occurs to minimize downtime. Failover takes between 60 and 120 seconds, based on your database activity at the time of the outage.
Several events can cause a failover. To check whether a failover occurred and identify the event that caused it, take one of the following actions:
- View Amazon RDS events in the Amazon RDS console.
- Use the describe-events command in the AWS CLI.
