Q1
Compare RDS vs Aurora.
💬Answer
- RDS: A managed database service supporting standard database engines (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle). It runs on standard EBS volumes. Scaling storage requires manual intervention or auto-scaling rules.
- Amazon Aurora: A cloud-native relational database engine. It separates compute from storage. Aurora storage replicates across 3 AZs automatically (6 copies) and dynamically scales up to 128TB. It offers up to 5x the performance of standard MySQL.
