CloudBzz - Cloud Computing News: Amazon RDS vs. SQL Azure: The birth of the DBMS Utility

  • Michiel van Vlaardingen · 2 months ago
    I wonder how RDS is going to work in practice, as our experiences with running high performance MySQL on EC2 instances are not that great. The virtualization kills performance for some heavy tasks. Also I was disappointed to see that the actual scaling parts are still under construction.

    Michiel -

    This may be where you might want to look at Akiba (www.akibainc.com). Still in stealth mode, but they will really solve this scaling issue.

    You are on the right track. RDS Rocks!!!

    If you read my blogs on RDS I have lots of thoughts on what to do right now to keep up with this new tech.

    RDS is the new SaaS on net and IMHO needs to be on your radar if you have any Database needs.
