AWS Compute Optimizer now supports rightsizing recommendations for Amazon Aurora

AWS Compute Optimizer now provides recommendations for Amazon Aurora DB instances. These recommendations help you identify idle database instances and choose the optimal DB instance class, so you can reduce costs for unused resources and increase the performance of under-provisioned workloads.

AWS Compute Optimizer automatically analyzes Amazon CloudWatch metrics such as CPU utilization, network throughput, and database connections to generate recommendations for your DB instances running Amazon Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition and Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition engines. If you enable Amazon RDS Performance Insights on your DB instances, Compute Optimizer will analyze additional metrics such as DBLoad and out-of-memory counters to give you more insights to choose the optimal DB instance configuration. With this launch, AWS Compute Optimizer now supports recommendations for Amazon RDS for MySQL, Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, and Amazon Aurora database engines.

This new feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Compute Optimizer is available except the AWS GovCloud (US) and the China Regions. To learn more about the new feature updates, please visit Compute Optimizer’s product page and user guide.
