AWS Compute Optimizer now supports Aurora I/O-Optimized recommendations

AWS Compute Optimizer now provides Amazon Aurora I/O-Optimized recommendations for Aurora DB Cluster Storage. These recommendations help make informed decisions about adopting Aurora I/O-Optimized configurations to increase pricing predictability and achieve potential cost savings based on your cluster's storage patterns and usage.

AWS Compute Optimizer automatically analyzes your Aurora DB clusters' instance storage and I/O costs to provide detailed cost comparisons between Aurora I/O-Optimized and Aurora Standard configurations. By default, Compute Optimizer analyzes 14 days of metrics, which you can extend to 32 days for free or up to 93 days with enhanced infrastructure metrics enabled. With enhanced metrics, you can also view month-over-month I/O usage variations to better evaluate the benefits of each storage configuration.

This new feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Compute Optimizer is available except the AWS GovCloud (US) and the China Regions. To learn more about the new feature updates, please visit Compute Optimizer’s product page and user guide.
