Amazon RDS for SQL Server Read Replicas with Additional Storage Volumes

Amazon RDS for SQL Server now supports read replicas for database instances with additional storage volumes. This feature allows customers to scale database storage up to 256 TiB by adding up to three storage volumes, each with up to 64 TiB, in addition to the primary storage volume. Read replicas with additional storage volumes are available in all AWS commercial Regions and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.

What to do

  • Create read replicas for database instances with additional storage volumes through the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs.
  • Manage additional storage volume configurations independently on the source and read replica instances.
