Amazon Neptune

Now supports AWS CloudFormation for provisioning and managing Neptune global databases. Using the new AWS::Neptune::GlobalCluster resource type, you can define your multi-region graph database topology as code — automating deployment, storing configurations in source control, and integrating with CI/CD pipelines.

Neptune global databases

Provide a primary cluster with read-write capability and up to five read-only secondary clusters in different AWS Regions, connected through low-latency replication via the Neptune storage subsystem. Common use cases include low-latency read access across regions, disaster recovery, data residency compliance, and high-availability graph deployments with centralized writes and distributed reads.

This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Neptune global databases are supported. To get started, see the Neptune global databases CloudFormation documentation.
