By default, RDS Proxy provides an endpoint for your applications to connect to the Aurora primary instance. Now, you can create one or more read-only endpoints to connect your application to the Aurora Replicas. RDS Proxy provides enhanced scalability by pooling and sharing database connections among the Aurora Replicas. In case of a failure, RDS Proxy automatically connects to the next available Aurora Replica while maintaining connections from your application, improving availability for Aurora Replicas. Finally, using RDS Proxy your applications use IAM authentication for both the Aurora primary instance and Aurora Replicas, eliminating the need to store database credentials in your application.
You can create a read-only endpoint while creating a new RDS Proxy or add additional endpoints for an existing RDS Proxy in just a few clicks through the Amazon RDS Management Console, using the AWS CLI, or SDK. To learn more, please refer to our documentation.
