    Pre-protection

    You can configure IP whitelists to allow only the specified instances to access resources. You can also use VPCs to implement advanced network access control.

    
    

    Attack Detection and Prevention

    Anti-DDoS is automatically enabled for public addresses to ensure business continuity. Links are encrypted through SSL to prevent man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. You can enable TDE to automatically encrypt data that has been saved to disks. The advanced security mode can protect your databases against SQL injections.

• 

  Multiple Deployment Architectures

  • 
    

    Supports multiple deployment architectures to meet availability requirements.

    
    

    Active/Standby Architecture

    All RDS instances apply the active/standby architecture. Two instances running on different servers can automatically synchronize data with each other. When the active instance is unavailable, the system automatically switches the database connection to the standby instance.

    
    

    Same City Disaster Recovery

    You can deploy active and standby instances in different zones with independent power supplies and networks. This improves the availability of data.

    
    

    Remote Disaster Recovery

    ApsaraDB for MySQL supports off-site disaster recovery instances. Instances in different regions synchronize data with each other in real time. When an exception occurs, you can switch your business from the active instance to the standby instance to ensure high availability.
