Amazon Neptune now supports AWS CloudFormation for global databases

Amazon Neptune now supports AWS CloudFormation for global databases, enabling multi-region topology definition as code.

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.
