Summary and Quiz
Summarize what you’ve learned in the this chapter and test yourself with a simple quiz.
In this lesson, we’ll summarize what we have learned about database services offered by AWS. Also, we’ll test our knowledge through a quiz.
Summary
Let’s quickly summarize what we have learned in the Database module:
Relational Database Service (RDS)
Amazon RDS simplifies relational database management with automated scaling, backup, and monitoring.
It supports popular database engines like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Aurora.
Developers choose instance classes, types, and EBS storage options based on workload needs.
Deployment options include Single-AZ, Multi-AZ Instance, and Multi-AZ DB Cluster for varying availability and scalability.
Multi-AZ DB Clusters enable automatic failover and read scalability with semi-synchronous replication.
Amazon Aurora
Amazon Aurora is a cloud-optimized relational database service compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL.
Aurora clusters feature fault-tolerant, multi-AZ distributed storage with independent compute scaling.
High availability is built-in, with automatic failover among Aurora Replicas across AZs.
Aurora global databases enable low-latency reads and disaster recovery across multiple AWS regions.
Automated backups and manual snapshots offer flexible data recovery and cloning options.
Aurora Serverless v2 provides auto-scaling database capacity for variable and unpredictable workloads. ...
