amazon-redshiftHow can I deploy Amazon Redshift in a multi-region configuration?
Deploying Amazon Redshift in a multi-region configuration requires several steps.
-
Create an Amazon VPC in each region where you want to deploy Redshift.
-
Create a Redshift cluster in each region.
-
Create a virtual private cloud (VPC) peering connection between the two VPCs.
-
Create an Amazon Route 53 private hosted zone and configure it to enable cross-region traffic.
-
Configure the DNS records in the private hosted zone to route traffic to the Redshift clusters.
-
Create a Redshift cluster security group for each cluster and configure it to allow only the necessary ports.
-
Configure the Redshift clusters to use the same master user name and password.
Example code
# Create the VPCs
aws ec2 create-vpc --cidr-block 172.16.0.0/16 --region us-east-1
aws ec2 create-vpc --cidr-block 172.16.0.0/16 --region us-west-2
# Create the Redshift clusters
aws redshift create-cluster --db-name mydb --cluster-type multi-node --node-type dc2.large --master-username admin --master-user-password mypassword --region us-east-1
aws redshift create-cluster --db-name mydb --cluster-type multi-node --node-type dc2.large --master-username admin --master-user-password mypassword --region us-west-2
# Create the VPC peering connection
aws ec2 create-vpc-peering-connection --vpc-id vpc-12345678 --peer-vpc-id vpc-87654321 --peer-region us-west-2 --region us-east-1
# Create the private hosted zone
aws route53 create-hosted-zone --name mydomain.com --vpc VPCRegion=us-east-1,VPCId=vpc-12345678 --caller-reference 12345678
# Configure the DNS records
aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id Z1234567 --change-batch '{
"Changes": [
{
"Action": "CREATE",
"ResourceRecordSet": {
"Name": "mydomain.com",

"AliasTarget": {
"HostedZoneId": "Z87654321",
"DNSName": "redshiftcluster-12345678.us-west-2.redshift.amazonaws.com",
"EvaluateTargetHealth": false
}
}
}
]
}'
