Getting started with Amazon Aurora Global Database by AWS-Online-Tech-Talks

I apologize for misunderstanding the input earlier. In this video, Rohan Bhatia from AWS explains the features and benefits of Amazon Aurora Global Databases. With Global Databases, users get a fully managed, low-cost solution for replicating data across regions and recovering quickly from disasters with automated failover mechanisms. The separation of compute and storage layers enables independent scaling and reducing compute costs. Users can use Global Databases for disaster recovery setups, scale low-latency global reads, build global applications, and integrate with AWS Secrets Manager and Identity and Access Management Service for improved security and availability. The demo shows how to create an Aurora database and promote it to a Global Database, create a proxy, and scale global reads with RDS Proxy while reducing the number of connections to the database instance.

In this section, Rohan Bhatia, AWS Product Manager, provides an overview of Amazon Aurora Global Databases and how they function. The Global Databases allow for a fully managed experience for replicating data across regions, providing an automated mechanism to failover and recover quickly from disasters, all while maintaining performance and low costs. One of the key benefits of the Global Databases is the separation of the compute and storage layers, enabling independent scaling, and the ability to run the secondary clusters without any database instances to save on compute costs. Bhatia further explains the two mechanisms offered for recovering from disasters: managed planned failover and managed automated failover.

In this section, the speaker discusses the various use cases and benefits of using Amazon Aurora Global Database, including disaster recovery setup, managed planned failovers, and managed recovery point objectives, in order to ensure data recovery and maintain database topology. The speaker also goes on to explain how the database can be used to scale low-latency global reads, build global applications, send writes from across regions, and integrate with AWS Secrets Manager and Identity and Access Management Service for improved security and availability. The section ends with a demo showing how to create an Amazon Aurora database in the North Virginia region.

In this section, the presenter begins by creating a database and then promoting it into a Global Database by choosing a parent cluster ID. The primary cluster has a reader and writer instance and there is a secondary cluster with a reader instance. The presenter then creates a proxy, and in case of an unplanned failover, the proxy detects it within three seconds. The presenter then demonstrates how to scale global reads with RDS Proxy. The open-source tool used proves to handle connections flawlessly, as the proxy balances the load for each database instance, shares the connections, and reduces the number of connections to the database instance.
