To create an ApsaraDB RDS instance that resides in multiple zones, you can use one of the following methods:

Method 1. Set MultiAZ to true and leave ZoneId empty. This way, the system automatically selects multiple zones for the instance when you create the instance.

Method 2: Set MultiAZ to false or leave MultiAZ empty, and specify ZoneId and ZoneIdSlave.

For more examples, visit db-instance.yml. In the examples, the following resource types are used: ALIYUN::RDS::DBInstance, ALIYUN::RDS::Account, ALIYUN::RDS::AccountPrivilege, ALIYUN::RDS::DBInstanceParameterGroup, ALIYUN::RDS::DBInstanceSecurityIps, ALIYUN::RDS::ReadOnlyDBInstance, and ALIYUN::RDS::Database.
