Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Aurora
Amazon Aurora is characterized by high availability and performance in the cloud that few tools of the same characteristics offer, the cost is initially 10GB for free, but then costs increase but the amount of capacity used, however it can be really low and its use guarantees integrated security, with regular backups and fully protected by the Amazon Aurora system. It's a fully managed system which reduces the workload and automates many daily tasks that would take a lot of time to perform manually. Another important point to take into account is that the tool automatically recovers from any failure, if one of our instances fails the system uses replicas to repair them creating new instances automatically.
- Efficient monitoring of databases such as SQL, etc.
- Fully automatic scaling
- Fully encrypted backups
- Price
- Complex configurations
- Technical Support could be better
- Very positive impact, less operator intervention
- Scalability is automatic
- Overall costs have been reduced due to the automation and HA built into the product
- Fully encrypted backups which is very important
In my opinion, much better and is also more cost effective based on other products we've reviewed. We also utilize other products from AWS and it makes a perfect fit for not only our environment but the clients we work with as well.
