Remarks
Availability Zone
You can specify an Availability Zone when you perform a create database request. If you don’t specify one, the database is created in the same Availability Zone as the last Lightsail resource you created.
Database updates
All database update operations are performed immediately. However, parameter updates
are applied based on the ApplyMethod value for the specific parameter being
updated.
