New Amazon RDS for MySQL & PostgreSQL Multi-AZ Deployment Option: Improved Write Performance & Faster Failover
Today, we are announcing a new Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) Multi-AZ deployment option with up to 2x faster transaction commit latency, automated failovers typically under 35 seconds, and readable standby instances. Amazon RDS offers two replication options to enhance availability and performance: Multi-AZ deployments gives high availability and automatic failover. Amazon RDS creates a storage-level replica of the database in a second Availability Zone. It then synchronously replicates data from the primary to the standby DB instance for high availability. The primary DB instance serves application requests, while the standby DB instance remains ready to take over in case of a failure. Amazon RDS manages all aspects of failure detection, failover, and repair actions so the applications using the…
New â Customer Carbon Footprint Tool
Carbon is the fourth-most abundant element in the universe, and is also a primary component of all known life on Earth. When combined with oxygen it creates carbon dioxide (CO2). Many industrial activities, including the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil, release CO2 into the atmosphere and cause climate change. As part of Amazonâs efforts to increase sustainability and reduce carbon emissions, we co-founded The Climate Pledge in 2019. Along with the 216 other signatories to the Pledge, we are committed to reaching net-zero carbon by 2040, 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement. We are driving carbon out of our business in a multitude of ways, as detailed on our Carbon Footprint page. When I share…
Let Your IPv6-only Workloads Connect to IPv4 Services
Today we are announcing two new capabilities for Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) NAT gateway and Amazon Route 53, allowing your IPv6-only workloads to transparently communicate with IPV4-only services. Curious? Read on; I have details for you. Some of you are running very large workloads involving tens of thousands of virtual machines, containers, or micro-services. To do so, you configured these workloads to work in the IPv6 address space. This avoids the problem of running out of available IPv4 addresses (a single VPC has a maximum theoretical size of 65,536 IPv4 addresses, compared to /56 ranges for IPv6, allowing for a maximum theoretical size of 2^73 -1 IPv6 addresses), and it saves you from additional headaches caused by managing complex…
