Viewing Amazon DocumentDB recommendations
Amazon DocumentDB provides a list of automated recommendations for database resources, such as instances and clusters. These recommendations provide best practice guidance by analyzing your cluster and instance configurations.
As an example of these recommendations, see the following:
| Type | Description | Recommendation | Additional information |
|---|---|---|---|
|
One instance |
Cluster only contains one instance |
Performance and availability: we recommend adding another instance with the same instance class in a different Availability Zone. |
Amazon DocumentDB generates recommendations for a resource when the resource is created or modified. Amazon DocumentDB also periodically scans your resources and generates recommendations.
