What I Learned While Migrating MySQL On-Premises To Amazon RDS


Join Percona Sr. Architect Michael Coburn as he discusses many of the challenges experienced while migrating an application from on-premises MySQL into Amazon RDS. After attending this talk the participant will be familiar with:

  • Loading large amounts of data as quickly as possible into RDS
  • RDS timezone factors
  • max_allowed_packet considerations in RDS
  • Missing SUPER privilege in RDS
  • Triggers and View loading considerations
  • Challenges around replication skipping when RDS is a slave
  • Using pt-table-checksum, pt-table-sync with RDS
