Best Practices for Migrating MySQL Databases to Amazon Aurora (AWS Whitepaper)

October 2016
This whitepaper discusses some of the important factors affecting the performance of self-managed export/import operations in Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for MySQL and Amazon Aurora. Although many of the topics are discussed in the context of Amazon RDS, performance principles presented here also apply to the MySQL Community Edition found in self-managed MySQL installations.
