- josh2600 11y agoDoes Aurora do anything other than detect a heartbeat failure, shoot the node in the head and bring it up on another box WRT failover?
- awgupta 11y agoThat is the basic idea on such things, though distributed protocols become complex when you have to consider split-brain, multiple concurrent failures, etc which all can occur in large-scale events. Aurora leverages Amazon RDS Multi-AZ in this area. Their implementation has been battle-tested over many years and many many db instances.
