What is the difference between Amazon Aurora and Amazon RDS?

Amazon Aurora is a database solution built on MySQL and PostgreSQL, designed to provide high performance, availability, and scalability. In comparison to traditional relational database services, Amazon Aurora offers faster performance, greater reliability, and lower costs.

Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service) supports multiple database engines such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQL Server. Users can easily deploy, manage, and scale relational databases on Amazon RDS without having to worry about hardware and infrastructure details.

In general, Amazon Aurora is a specific implementation of Amazon RDS designed to provide higher performance and availability. In contrast, Amazon RDS is a more general relational database service suitable for various database engines and use cases.
