AWS Outposts rack brings native AWS services to virtually any customer data center or on-premises facility. Outposts is a fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure, services, APIs, and tools to customer premises. In this post, we detail the connectivity required to connect on-premises applications to Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) on Outposts. For […]

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the launch of Amazon MemoryDB for Redis. On 8/19/2021, AWS announced the general availability of Amazon MemoryDB for Redis, a fully managed, Redis-compatible database, that delivers both in-memory performance and Multi-AZ durability. Over the past year, thousands of customers have adopted MemoryDB as their primary database for critical workloads […]

Database administrators and developers traditionally schedule scripts to run against databases using the system cron on the host where the database is running or using database schedulers, resulting in a tight coupling with the batch scripts and the database. Many Oracle database applications use files stored in a shared file system volume that is mounted […]

Many customers are faced with the challenge of building and operating a hybrid infrastructure to support workloads that must run both in the cloud and on premises. In many cases, these hybrid workloads rely on a relational database to support the workload, which can be particularly challenging to build and support across a hybrid infrastructure. […]

More and more organizations are building their applications using microservices for operational efficiency, agility, scalability, and faster time to market. Microservices and containers have emerged as building blocks for modern applications, and Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for managing containers at scale. Applications running on Kubernetes need a database that provides ultra-fast performance, high availability […]

Deploying containerized applications with cloud database services can involve many manual steps, such as configuring networks and securing database connections from the applications. To simplify development and deployment, you can use infrastructure as code (IaC) to build, configure, deploy, and scale containerized applications automatically. In this post, I show you how to use IaC concepts […]

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) recently announced support of highly available configurations with Multi-AZ instance deployments for PostgreSQL and MySQL on AWS Outposts. In this post, we go over the process for creating an RDS database instance with Multi-AZ instance deployments. Overview of Multi-AZ deployments With Multi-AZ instance deployments on Outposts, Amazon RDS creates […]

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. In traditional databases, you have to spend more time performing administration, backup, patching, capacity planning, version upgrades, new server provisioning, and recovery tasks. You have to manually perform all these activities with an expert […]

AWS offers a breadth and depth of services that helps you run and scale your critical workloads in multiple Regions on AWS’ global footprint. Whether you need a multi-Region architecture to support disaster recovery or bring your applications and the backend database into close proximity to your customers to reduce latency, AWS gives you the […]

The Kubernetes container orchestration system provides numerous resources for managing applications in distributed environments. Many of these applications need a searchable storage system for their data that is secure, durable, and performant. Developers want to focus on continuously improving their apps rather than having to worry about the operational functions of their databases. They also […]
