Parallel Query takes advantage of Aurora’s architecture by pushing processing down to the Aurora storage layer, spreading computation across thousands of nodes. By pushing query computation down to the storage layer where possible, Parallel Query limits CPU, memory, and network contention with the core workload.
The feature is available for the MySQL 5.6-compatible edition of Amazon Aurora, and is currently available in the US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), EU (Ireland), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Regions. You can get started by creating an Aurora cluster in the Amazon RDS Management Console and enabling Parallel Query. For more details, see the Amazon Aurora documentation.
