title: AWS: Can I disable/enable RDS multi-AZ daily?
body: <p>I have a mysql RDS instance that is used only from 9am to 9pm.</p>
  
  <p>To avoid too much charges, I would like to stop it during the night, but I cannot do this because I have Multi-AZ active (I need it during server use).</p>
  
  <p>Does it make sense to schedule this process?</p>
  
  <p>@8:45pm: </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>disable multi-AZ</li>
  <li>stop RDS instance</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>@8:45am:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>start RDS instance</li>
  <li>enable multi-AZ</li>
  </ul>
