Product(s): Amazon Aurora
Overall Comment:"Exceptional alternative to traditional database services as this aws backed database works significantly better compared to traditional ones with scalable storage and lower latencies, helping to maintain database availability and reliability even more"
Auto storage capacity as the baseline storage for a baseline / lower instance ranges at 140 tb which takes away the dependency of database storage management and outage due to it. High availability database as the architecture consists of 6 copies read and write simultaneously which helps to maintain the HA and data continuity Fully managed service which takes away burden of backups , PITR backups and patching
Overall cost understanding can be a bit difficult as compared to traditional DB and even purchasing reserved instances for aurora instances requires expertise as if not properly selected user can end up paying more. Limited DB options , Aurora currently supports only PostgreSQL and MySQL engines, so it limits your scope of selection from db engines
