Using the Heimdall Proxy to Split Reads and Writes for Amazon Aurora and Amazon RDS
Horizontally scaling a SQL database involves separating the write-master from read-only servers. This allows the write server to perform dedicated write operations rather than processing redundant read queries. However, writing to one node and reading from another can result in inconsistent data due to synchronization delays. Heimdall Data offers a database proxy to help developers and architects achieve optimal scale from their Amazon RDS and Amazon Aurora environment without any application changes.
Oracle Database Encryption Options on Amazon RDS
Follow an AWS expert’s research on various encryption options such as Oracle Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) and Oracle Native Network Encryption (NNE), as well as SSL options on Amazon RDS. This post explains how Amazon RDS supports Oracle TDE, Oracle NNE, and SSL. If you’re an architect or a developer, this will help you plan and configure storage and network encryption on Amazon RDS. You should be aware of the need to encrypt data at rest and how Oracle TDE, Oracle NNE, and SSL can help you achieve your encryption goals.
