Promote Aurora
Amazon Aurora Global Database is designed for globally distributed applications, allowing a single Amazon Aurora database to span multiple AWS regions. It replicates your data with no impact on database performance, enables fast local reads with low latency in each region, and provides disaster recovery from region-wide outages. In disaster recovery situations, you can promote a secondary region to take full read-write responsibilities in under a minute.
Now let us promote the Amazon Aurora MySQL Secondary instance to a standalone instance.
1.1 Change your console ’s region to us-west-1 using the Region Selector in the upper right corner.
1.2 Navigate to RDS in the console.
1.3 Click into DB Instances.
1.4 Find dr-immersionday-secondary-warm instance and click Actions. Next click the Remove from global database option to promote the instance to a standalone database.
1.5 Click Remove and Promote to confirm the server promotion.
1.6 Grab a snack! It takes few minutes for the operation to complete.
