What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when multiAZ must equal true. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Enable Multi-AZ deployment for automatic failover during zone outages. In AWS Console: RDS > Databases > Modify > enable Multi-AZ. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Concepts.MultiAZ.html
Terraform
resource "aws_db_instance" "{name}" {
multi_az = true
}
