Wanted to use this, but doesn't support small enough instance types.
- purephase 9y agoSame here. Odd choices, but I'm assuming there's a reason for it.
- samstave 9y agoJust a guess, but I would bet that they are looking for the people who want aurora+postgress on larger workloads (ostensibly housed in far fewer accounts/support-blast-radius) than to offer shards to thousands of one-off testers/smaller companies that may inundate the bandwidth of the actual human staff.
- llsf 9y agoI thought the same, but the Aurora MySQL does allow smaller instances. So, waiting as well for smaller instances on Aurora Postgres...
- markporter_aws 9y agoWhich particular types and combination of CPU/RAM would you like?
- jeffasinger 9y agoAt a minimum, I'd like to see something half the size of the r4.large. The current r4.large is definitely bigger than I'd want to use for an experiment with a few users.
- markporter_aws 9y agoJeff, that makes sense. We're working on it. Thanks for the information!
- markporter_aws 9y agoWhat instance types would you like to see? T2s? If so, which ones?
- concrete_d 9y agoMy team was hoping for db.t2.small and db.t2.medium so we could compare against similar sized regular Postgres instances.
- efisher2892 9y agoWe are also looking to test the small and medium t2s versus PostgresRDS on small and medium.
- philliphaydon 9y agoWhere I work we currently run 2 RDS PostgreSQL Instances in production, one on T2.small and the other T2.medium. We never run out of CPU credits. We are dying to move to Aurora but the current instance sizes prevent us :( until we fully move away from SQL Server where our load on PostgreSQL will increase, its a huge cost for 0 gain right now.
- markporter_aws 9y agoThanks for the replies - we're working on smaller instances, though we don't have a date yet!
- omarforgotpwd 9y agoi have a postgres running on a t2.small in RDS right now
