Amazon Aurora is an enterprise-class, fully managed database service available at 1/10th the cost of commercial databases. In this tutorial I am going to show you how to migrate your existing MySql WordPress database to Aurora.
Benefits include:
High performance and scalability: Get 5x the throughput of MySQL, 3x the throughput of PostgreSQL, 64TB of auto-scaled storage, and 15 read replicas.
High availability and durability: Automatically maintain 6 copies of your data across 3 AWS availability zones, which means you can sleep at night.
These are the steps we are going to take:
- Backup your MySql database
- Create your AWS Aurora MySQL Database
- Import your MySql database into AWS Aurora
