This video explores Amazon Aurora's high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) design patterns for global resilience. Two AWS senior principal engineers, Tim Stoakes and Grant McAlister, guide viewers through Aurora's resilience capabilities, from basic configurations to advanced global setups. They discuss key concepts like availability, disaster recovery, and the Aurora storage architecture. The presentation covers various resilience strategies, including multi-AZ deployments, backups, cloning, and global databases. Practical examples demonstrate how to improve RPO and RTO, handle network partitions, and implement write forwarding. The speakers emphasize the importance of testing failover scenarios and provide insights on cross-account resilience. Throughout the session, they use a fictional sky picture business to illustrate how Aurora's features can be applied as a company grows and faces different challenges.
