Amazon RDS makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale, relational databases in the cloud. Amazon RDS for MySQL supports applications that require up to tens of thousands of IOPS, and allows you to scale on demand without administrative complexity. In this webinar, we will discuss best practices for getting the most out of Amazon RDS for MySQL, as well as techniques for migrating data to and from the service. Reasons to attend: - Learn the details of Master Slave dual AZ configuration. - Learn about cross region replication. - Learn about Provisioned IOPS and tips on getting the most from your Amazon RDS MySQL Service.

1. RDS - Letting AWS run your Low Admin,
High Performance Database

Amazon RDS
DynamoDB
Amazon Redshift

3. Why do we offer 4 database services…?

6. How Do We Decide What to Build?
v
• Start with the customer and work backwards
• Enable new things that customers couldn’t do before…
• Make things customers could already do much cheaper,
simpler and better

7. Relational Databases
MySQL, Aurora, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server
Fully managed; zero admin

8. Why Did We Create Amazon RDS?
v
• All existing apps use relational databases
• Many new apps will need relational databases
• But you can already run databases on
Amazon EC2…

9. Key Insight: Relational Databases are Complex
v
• Our experience running Amazon.com taught us that relational
databases can be a pain to manage and operate with high
availability
• Poorly managed relational databases are a leading cause of
lost sleep and downtime in the IT world!

10. Why choose Amazon RDS?
v
Schema design
Query construction
Query optimization
Migration
Backup and recovery
Patching
Configuration
Software upgrades
Storage upgrades
Server upgrades
Hardware issues
Focus your
team here
Let AWS
focus here

11. We Made Things Cheaper, Easier and Better
v
• Push button provisioning. Automated scaling, patching, security, backups,
restores and general care and feeding
• Lower TCO because we manage the muck
• Get more leverage from your teams
• Focus on the things that differentiate you
• Built-in High Availability and Cross Region replication across multiple data centers
• Now even a small startup can leverage multiple data centers to design highly
available apps with over 99.95% availability

12. RDS Database instances: scalable CPU,
memory, storage
v
• Database instance types offer a range of CPU and memory selections
• Scale up or down among instance types on demand
• Database storage is scalable on demand
• Choose standard storage for lower cost at low IOPS
• Choose Provisioned IOPS for high, predictable performance and online scaling

13. How RDS backups work
v
• Automated backups
• Restore your database to a point in time
• Enabled by default
• Choose a retention period, up to 35 days
• Manual snapshots
• Initiated by you
• Persist until you delete them
• Stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)
• Build a new database instance from a snapshot when needed

14. High Availability Multi-AZ Deployments
Enterprise-grade fault tolerance solution for production
databases
v

15. Choose Multi-AZ for greater availability,
durability
v
• An availability zone is a physically distinct, independent infrastructure
• With Multi-AZ operation, your database is synchronously replicated to
another AZ in the same AWS Region
• Failover occurs automatically in response to the most important
failure scenarios
• Planned maintenance is applied first to backup

16. Customers Love Multi-AZ

17. Choose Read Replicas for greater scalability
v
• Help your app scale by offloading read traffic to an automatically
maintained read replica
• Create multiple read replicas, load-share traffic
• Easy to set up

18. Choose cross-region snapshot copy for even
greater durability, ease of migration
v
• Copy a database snapshot to a different AWS Region
• Warm standby for disaster recovery
• Or use it as a base for migration to a different region

19. Choose cross-region read replicas for enhanced
data locality, even more ease of migration
v
• Even faster recovery in the event
of disaster
• Bring data close to your
customers
• Promote to a master for easy
migration

20. How RDS billing works
Monthly
bill = + GB +
db.m3.xlarge; MySQL;
Oregon; Single-AZ;
On-Demand
100 GB
Provisioned IOPS
= 720 hrs * $0.60 + 100 GB * $0.125 + 1,000 IOPS * $0.10
= $544.50
Assumes DB instance accessed only from EC2
Further details at http://aws.amazon.com/rds/pricing/
Provisioned 1,000 IOPS

21. Save money with RDS Reserved Instances
v
• Pay a low up-front fee to get a lower hourly price on database
instances for a 1- or 3-year term
• The lower-price entitlement applies to any running instance matching
its description
• Choose among Heavy, Medium, Light RIs
Month 1 Month 2 Month 3 Month 4 Month 5 Month 6 Month 7 Month 8 Month 9 Month 10 Month 11 Month 12
On-demand 544.50 1,089.00 1,633.50 2,178.00 2,722.50 3,267.00 3,811.50 4,356.00 4,900.50 5,445.00 5,989.50 6,534.00

22. How to scale with Amazon RDS
v
• Scale up or down with resizable instance types
• CPU to 32 vCPUs, RAM to 244 GiB
• Scale your storage up with a few clicks
• Scale while online
• Easy conversion from standard to Provisioned IOPS storage
• Offload read traffic to Read Replicas
• Put a cache in front of Amazon RDS
• Amazon ElastiCache for Memcached or Redis
• Or your favorite cache, self-managed in Amazon EC2
• Amazon RDS takes some of the pain out of sharding

23. Best practices for Amazon RDS
v
• Strongly consider Provisioned IOPS storage
• Strongly consider Multi-AZ deployments
• Make maximum use of ability to rapidly provision test environments
• Create regular DB Snapshots
• Test recovery from them
• Configure CloudWatch alerts and DB Event notifications

24. How to migrate data into RDS
