The AWS::Neptune::GlobalCluster CloudFormation resource enables programmatic provisioning and management of Neptune global databases, supporting primary read-write clusters and up to five read-only secondary clusters across regions with low-latency replication.
Typical applications include low-latency globally distributed reads, disaster recovery, compliance with data residency regulations, and high-availability deployments. Automating global database configuration facilitates infrastructure as code practices, source control tracking, and CI/CD integration, available in all Neptune-supported regions.
