How reliable is Amazon RDS for MySQL?

Question

MySQL

Beautiful descriptions of the reliability of amazon clouds are one thing, but real reviews are another. Has anyone worked with Amazon RDS? What are your impressions? What cons do you know or may have heard / read somewhere? Does it fall often?

Answer 1

worked
what impressions from a database can be? exactly the same as from postgres, oracle, muscle and msikvela.
it’s just a shell over them, no magic,
well, there are some features that are convenient, but nothing more than that , you can’t really do system optimization
yourself inside, if the RDS has fallen, then you suck your paw, there’s really multiaz, but then you pay double
