How to Resolve Manually

This rule checks whether replication is enabled for Amazon Aurora and Hermes clusters. If a cluster is found with only one cluster instance deployed, it will be marked as non-compliant.


To resolve this, go to Amazon RDS console and then to Databases from the left-side menu.

Look for the non-compliant cluster and select it from the radio button. Click on the Actions menu and then click on Add reader.

From there you can add a replica to another AZ in order to make the rule compliant. Check the following screenshot as reference:
