+Create MySQL remote replica
+===========================
+
+The goal of the remote replica is to provide a read-only instance of your managed MySQL service in another geographically diverse region. 
+
+This works as an extra measure to protect your data from the unlikely event that a whole region would go down. It can also improve performance if a read replica is placed closer to your end-users that read from the database.
+
+Here are the steps to provision remote replica
+
+1. Login into the Aiven console using your credentials
+
+2. Navigate to the MySQL instances for which you wish to create a remote replica
+
+3. Click  the "Create a read replica" button

+
+4. For the remote replica, give your service a name, select the cloud provider and region, and choose a suitable Aiven for MySQL plan.
+
+5. Click "Create"

+
+That's it. You will see the read replica being created and listed as any other Aiven service on the Services page on the console.
