Database Services in AWS: Relational Databases

The document discusses various database services available on AWS including relational databases (RDS), NoSQL databases, data warehousing (Redshift), and transactional databases. Key features of RDS include high availability across availability zones, read replicas for performance and scaling, automated backups stored in S3, and support for databases like SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL and Amazon Aurora. DynamoDB is AWS's NoSQL database that supports document and key-value models and provides fast reads. Redshift enables business intelligence through data warehousing capabilities. Aurora provides high performance and availability comparable to commercial databases. Elasticache uses caching to improve performance of frequently accessed queries.

Database Services in AWS

- Potureddi Gowtham

Relational Databases:

• These are just like excel or CSV files where we have so many rows and columns.
• A excel may have different work-sheets just like different tables in data base.
• Each table will have a relation with other table.
• Each column in a database table is called attribute.
• We will have a Primary Key in each table, to identify the information.
• Ex: registration number of a student, Surname etc. (which will be unique and will
not have repetitions.)
• To build relationship between tables we have Foreign keys.

Relational Databases ( RDS ) in AWS:

Features of RDS:

• These Data-Base Instances can be running in more than one availability Zones.
• So, even if there is any problem with DB in one Zone, data can be taken from
Another DB .
• All this will be done automatically and taken care by Amazon.

DB – 1 DB – 2

AZ1 AZ2
• We can also maintain Read Replicas for performance
• We first must maintain a replica from primary DB and then if you need to scale
your DB, you can redirect some traffic to Read Replica.
• We can have many Replicas like this.
• Ex: if traffic is more scale DB using 5 replicas.

Traffic 50% Traffic 50%

DB – 1 Copy all data modifications to Replica Read

AZ1 Replica

• RDS runs on a virtual machine, but you cannot SSH or login to these machines.

Backups with RDS:

Automated backups:

• This automated backup takes full daily snapshots of the DB.


• It will also take and store transactional logs throughout the day.
• If you try to do recovery, it will give the very latest snapshot.
• We can also get the needed snapshot according to our requirement.
• All these backups are stored in S3.
• Again, we need not pay for S3, we will be provided S3 free for the memory size of
our instance.
• If our RDS is 25GB, we get S3 bucket of size 25GB.
• When the backups are going on we can expect a bit of latency.

Database Snapshots:

• These are done manually by us.


• Just to store the entire state of the DB.
• We can use these even after deleting the RDS instance.

Note:

• When we restore instance from both Automatic backups or Database snapshot,


the result is a new RDS instance with new endpoint.

DB’s we can use:

• SQL SERVER
• ORACLE
• MYSQL
• PostgreSQL
• Amazon Aurora
• Made by amazon
• MariaDB

NoSQL Data-Bases in AWS:

• These are not in the form of tables, rows and columns.


• They are in the form of JSON.
• These are like collections just like Tables
• Documents just like rows Row
• Key value pair just like Fields
AWS DynamoDB:

• This is a NoSQL DB made by Amazon.


• This supports document and key-value data models.
• This DB can be used for many different use-cases like:
• Mobile apps
• Web apps
• Game development
• IOT apps.
• Data is stored in an SSD.

There are 2 different reads:


Eventual Consistent Reads:

• If we make a write in DB, we can read that after a second are two.

Strongly Consistent Reads:

• Unlike Eventual Consistent read we can read the data in less than a second.
• Reads are very fast.
• So, based on the use-case we can select the Eventual or Strong read types.
Data Warehousing:

• This is used for Business intelligence.


• We can collect data from various sources and use it for providing various
business insights.

AWS RedShift:

• This is for data warehouse services in cloud.


• This can manage petabytes of data.
• This can be used for OLAP ( Online analytical processing ) to acquire insights for
your business and customer needed.
• To perform OLAP, we need to apply multiple quires and perform analytical
operations over it.
• Redshift can efficiently handle all these irrespective of the dataset size.
• We can build a cluster and set needed number of nodes.
• After a cluster is built we can upload data and then perform data analysis queries.
• We can use advanced Compression over the data.
• So, we can reduce memory usage effectively by applying these compression
techniques.
• Single node with 160GB size.
• Multi node
▪ Leader node ( To manage all the slave nodes. )
▪ Compute nodes ( To store data and perform queries. )
▪ We can have up to 128 compute nodes.

Leader Node

Compute node Compute node Compute node

• We can apply massive parallel processing using multiple nodes.


• Redshift automatically distributes data and query load with in the nodes.
• So, with the increase in warehouse we can increase number of nodes.
• We can take multiple backups and they will be stored in S3 in another region for
disaster recovery.
AWS Aurora:

• This is a relational database made by amazon.


• This DB can provide 5 times better performance than MySQL.
• Memory plan starts from 10GB and can extended to 64TB
• Compute resources can also be scaled up to 32vCPUs and 244GB of Memory.
• We can have 2 copies in each availability zones, with minimum of 3 AZs.
• So, totally 6 copies are maintained.
• Aurora storage is self-healing.
• Data blocks and disks are continuously scanned for errors and repaired
automatically.
• We can have up to 15 read replicas and 5 read replicas to MySQL DB.
• We can take backups and snapshots for these DB.
• And interestingly there won’t be any latency or impact when we are doing
backups or snapshots.
• We can also share snapshots with other AWS accounts.

AWS Elasticache:

• This is a webservice that makes us deploy, operate and scale an in-memory


cache in the cloud.
• This can improve performance with fast retrievals.
• When there is a query getting repeatedly triggered its cached and used next.
• Ex:
• If there is an online shopping portal and a product got some very good
discount.
• Users are repeatedly searching about that product.
• So instead of getting the info always from the DB, we can cache and use it.
• Means, store that data somewhere and use it when triggered again.
This has 2 types:
• Memcached
• Redis

Transactional Database
