I predict in 5 years... this will be the standard.<p>Its not so much about wanting to bolt onto amazon&#x27;s eco for stuff -- but just allowing an org to focus.<p>AWS allows for an ops team to completely have no concern for hardware. Lovely.<p>I also don&#x27;t want an ops team doing DB cluster mgmt.<p>I want to deploy and delve into my data.<p>I want my data&#x2F;eng&#x2F;dev&#x2F;ops teams to be pummeling the shit out of my data without concern for the instances&#x2F;hw&#x2F;cluster.<p>aurora adds to the cloud fabric.<p>One thing amazon is moving to is to define compute capacity vs defining instances at all.<p>Their vision of abstraction is amazing.
