Amazon Aurora

Amazon Aurora is a relational database engine from Amazon Web Services. The engine is compatible with MySQL, which means code, applications and drivers used in databases relying on MySQL can be used in Aurora with minimal or no changes. MySQL is an open source database management system based on Structured Query Language (SQL).

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) manages Aurora databases by handling provisioning, patching, backup, recovery and other tasks. A developer can migrate to and from MySQL databases by using the mysqldump (export) and mysqlimport (import) utilities or by using RDS' DB Snapshot migration feature. Data migration typically takes one hour.
