Create a fallback migration plan for your self-managed MySQL database to Amazon Aurora MySQL using native bi-directional binary log replication
In this post, we show you how to set up bi-directional replication between an on-premises MySQL instance and an Aurora MySQL instance. We cover how to configure and set up bi-directional replication and address important operational concepts such as monitoring, troubleshooting, and high availability. In certain use cases, native bi-directional binary log replication can either provide a simpler fallback plan for your migration or provide a way to migrate applications or schemas individually, rather than all at the same time.
