02/23/2018, 12:27 PMI would think so, considering it runs off of SQL, but just want to make sure before I waste the next 30 minutes

02/23/2018, 5:43 PMIf you guys don't mind my asking, what benefits do you get from Aurora over RDS? I've read the AWS marketing. I'm curious if you agree with their arguments or if there are other reasons.

02/23/2018, 5:45 PMI totally plan on using the RDS with Aurora

02/23/2018, 5:46 PMRDS itself is not a database. It’s more of a management solution

02/23/2018, 5:46 PMAurora is a database. Still runs SQL but it’s faster and cheaper

02/23/2018, 5:51 PMOk, I said that incorrectly. Sorry. Why would you use AWS's Aurora's variant of MySQL instead of RDS SQL?

02/23/2018, 5:52 PMIt doesn't appear cheaper, but that's why I'm asking. Maybe it works out that way.

02/23/2018, 5:55 PMTechnically speaking, I guess, it’s more like RDS as well. In fact, I don’t think you can use Aurora outside of RDS. I’ve never tried to, at least.
