Amazon Aurora is a relational database service that is compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. It is fully managed by AWS and provides faster performance than MySQL databases at lower costs. Aurora provides high availability across three availability zones and automatic failover. It is easy to migrate existing MySQL databases to Aurora using AWS database migration services. Aurora is optimized for the cloud and leverages other AWS services like DynamoDB and S3 for storage. It has a simple pricing model based on the instance size and storage used.
