AWS Aurora is a fully managed managed cloud service that enables you to deploy, operate, and manage applications in the cloud with the confidence of knowing that AWS is taking care of the infrastructure. With AWS Aurora, you can use the same tools and services to manage both your on-premises applications and AWS workloads, making it easy to migrate to the cloud. AWS Aurora offers the same performance, reliability, security, and scalability as Amazon RDS.

You can also use AWS Aurora to run your entire application stack in the cloud. For more information, see the AWS Aurora documentation.

PRO TIP: AWS Aurora and RDS are two different Amazon Web Services products. Aurora is a relational database service that is designed to be compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL. RDS is a relational database service that supports a variety of database engines, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and Amazon Aurora.
