MySQL 5.6 for Amazon RDS

•Crash Safe Read Replicas• InnoDB Integration with Memcached•Binary Log Access•Online Schema Changes•Full Text Indexes

RDS Production


99.95% Monthly Up Time SLA

21.56 Minutes



That’s not too bad, you say.But wait. There’s more!



Mandatory 30min maintenance window



21.56min + (4*30min) =141.56min/month =~99.65% uptime

(the fine print will get you every time)

Proof of Concept Testing


RDS Instance Class [Large]

7.5 GB memory

4 ECUs (2 virtual cores with 2 ECUs each)

64-bit platform

High I/O Capacity

Provisioned IOPS Optimized: 500Mbps


RDS Instance Class [XL]

15 GB memory

8 ECUs (4 virtual cores with 2 ECUs each)

64-bit platform

High I/O Capacity

RDS Instance Details (Redux)


Regions & Availability Zones


Regions

•APAC x2 (Tokyo, Singapore, Sydney)•EU x1 (Ireland)•SA x1 (Sao Paulo)•US x3 (Virginia, California, Oregon)

•Each region has multiple AZ• Instance prices vary per region•Hardware varies per region


RDS Multi-AZ Deployment

•Enhanced Durability• Increased Availability•Easy Administration

RDS Parameter Group



Post-Launch


External Replication

•With 5.6 you can RDS->Non-RDS – This was not possible in 5.5 or below

•Still cannot Non-RDS->RDS– Can with Tungsten– Can fake it with binlog streaming


Surprises & Gotchas

•No 5.5->5.6 upgrade path (only mysqldump)•Multi-Region is application-specific•No RDS auto-scaling support or spot instances

– Chaos Monkey cannot help you•Backups *can* be invasive•Pricing can be surprising•Monitoring capabilities are lacking•Performance not always reliable
