RPO is an acronym for Recovery Point Objective and is a term to describe the data recency guarantee in the event of failures. RPO is the maximum acceptable amount of time since the last data recovery point. This determines what is considered an acceptable loss of data between the last recovery point and the interruption of service. Redshift Multi-AZ supports RPO = 0 meaning data is guaranteed to be current and up to date in the event of a failure. Our pre-launch tests found that RTO with Amazon Redshift Multi-AZ deployments is under 60 seconds or less in the unlikely case of an AZ failure.
