Amazon Aurora RDS
- AWS Aurora is Amazon’s MySQL compatible dB
- Only available on cloud
- 5X better performance than MySQL
- Targeted at Oracle
- Scaling
- Automatically scales in increments of 10 GB
- Two copies of your data will be stored in each AZ. If you have 4 AZs in your region then 2X4=8 copies of your data will be redundantly stored by Aurora
- Aurora storage disk blocks are continuously scanned for errors and self healed.
- Read Replicas supported:
- Up to 15 Aurora Replicas (as opposed to only 5 MySQL read replicas)
- Unlike MySQL read replica’s, Aurora Replicas support automatic failover
