Mappings (3)
In-region high availability with automatic failover Direct match
RDS Multi-AZ maps to Cloud SQL high availability (a regional instance with a primary and standby in two zones) and AlloyDB's built-in HA.
- Failover promotes the standby in the secondary zone, keeping the same IP address.
- Cloud SQL Enterprise Plus has a 99.99% availability SLA including maintenance, versus 99.95% excluding maintenance for Enterprise.
Cross-region relational disaster recovery Partial match
Aurora Global Database maps partly to Cloud SQL advanced DR (Enterprise Plus cross-region DR replicas with failover and zero-data-loss switchover) and AlloyDB cross-region secondary clusters.
- Replication is asynchronous; replica failover can lose recent writes, while planned switchover has zero data loss.
- For multi-region writes with strong consistency, use Spanner.
Database connection pooling Direct match
RDS Proxy maps to managed connection pooling in Cloud SQL (Enterprise Plus edition) and AlloyDB.
- Managed connection pooling in Cloud SQL requires Enterprise Plus edition.
- The Cloud SQL Auth Proxy is a secure connector, not a pooler.
