Question
A company is running an application in the AWS Cloud. The application runs on containers in an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) cluster. The ECS tasks use the Fargate launch type. The application's data is relational and is stored in Amazon Aurora MySQL.

Explanation
When you provision an Aurora Replica in a different AWS Region, the replica is kept in sync with the primary database using Aurora's replication capabilities. In the event of a failure in the primary Region, you can promote the Aurora Replica to become the new primary database, which allows you to continue operations with no data loss. However, provisioning and maintaining an Aurora Replica in a different AWS Region requires ongoing management and monitoring to ensure that it stays in sync with the primary database
