After
reading the article “Amazon Aurora – Relational Database Built for the Cloud –
AWS,” I learned about Amazon Aurora and all its functionality. Amazon Aurora is
a relational database compatible with both MySQL and PostgreSQL, built for cloud-based
services. This service combines the availability and performance of a high-end
commercial databases with simplicity and open source, cost effective databases.
The service can handle up to sixty-four TeraBytes per database, growing up
until this limit as more storage is needed, this is a substantial amount of
space and can fit the needs of most, if not all occupational needs. Aurora can
be five times more efficient than MySQL and up to three times faster compared
to PostgreSQL, making this a perfect product for various industries, including
design office environments. Utilizing speeds that Aurora provides can allow
designers to access numerous files for projects with no concerns.
Along with
the incredible functionality of this service, Aurora provides security and reliability
at a fraction of the cost compared to other cloud-based databases; Aurora
contains several levels of security for involved databases, including network
isolation, encryption keys, and encryption of data transmitted using SSL. Not
only is each Aurora instance encrypted, but also all underlying storage and
backups. Regarding reliability, Amazon Aurora provides fault-tolerant and self-
healing storage solutions built directly into its cloud service, replicating six
copies of the user’s data across three separate Availability Zones. In the case
that a failure does occur, the data is transparently recovered in less than
thirty seconds. Due to the performance and reliability of this product, use
within the design field shows very beneficial in aiding progression of the
company, by utilizing something as functionally sound as Amazon Aurora the work
environment can greatly increase in efficiency.

Cory, I
enjoy your emphasis on automation. With databases becoming more accessible due
to cloud storage along with increasing speeds, once automation is perfected,
projects will be able to practically complete themselves.

Brian, that
is what were all here for, to learn! I think you gave a very useful explanation
on the manner. I have no prior knowledge to the subject either, but this provided
me with information that I can use in the upcoming Project/Assignment. I
believe working effectively with databases can be greatly beneficial as I
continue advancing in my field of study.

Isabel, I am
glad to read something focusing on SQL. I always have interest in learning new
programming languages, and I believe SQL is a very useful language to learn.
Almost, if not all corporations seek engineers who are proficient in SQL due to
the many reasons you have listed, so with the information shared in your
description I am excited to look into learning it for myself!
