I am planning to use Read Replicas for my Cosmos DB for postgresql. I started with creating a replica of my existing DB instance on East US region.
The status shows as created on Deployment page, but the DB instance shows provisioning state and it is not allowing to do any actions on the Replica instance, nor it is allowing to promoting it as an independent cluster, which I wanted to test.
It has been 6 hours since I had created the Read replica, but the Deployment page shows as Deployment is in progress.
The resource on that page is shown as below -
Resource Type Status
chq-dev-postgres-read Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL Cluster Created.
Kindly help with this, I have a requirement for Disaster recovery using Read replicas. Attaching the relevant snapshots
Please note that there might be a possibility that data from primary instance might replicate data to the secondary, but the data is not that large that it can take upto 6 hours. Also there are no metrics(Lag,CPU,Memory) on the replica instance.
Is it still in progress or done?
Still the same.
Waited for around 12 hours. Did not work out specially for East US region.
Tried with West US 2 and South Central US and it worked. But my region is East US for replication.
