info:
  name: RDS Multi-AZ - Disabled
  author: DhiyaneshDK
  severity: medium
  description: |
    Ensure that your Amazon RDS instances are using the Multi-AZ deployment configuration for high availability and automatic failover support, fully managed by AWS.
  impact: |
    The RDS instance lacks high availability and failover support, increasing the risk of downtime during instance failures or maintenance events.
  remediation: |
    Enable Multi-AZ deployment for the RDS instance in the AWS Management Console, CLI, or API to enhance availability and automatic failover.
