Hi,

I was going through the ansible docs for amazon RDS.

My requirement is that I need to restore Amazon RDS database instance in from automated daily snapshots. The snapshots and restoration lie in two separate AWS regions. The RDS command only gives other options and replicate option creates a read only replica which is not suitable for me.

Please advise.
