Now Amazon Aurora Multi-Master is widely accessible

Amazon Aurora is completely organized by Amazon RDS, that automates lengthy administration activities such as hardware provisioning, database setup, patching, and backups. Amazon Aurora (Aurora) is a relational database engine which is compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL. Amazon Aurora is up to 5X faster than standard MySQL databases and 3X faster than standard PostgreSQL databases. Also it contains a high-performance storage subsystem. Now Amazon Aurora Multi-Master is widely accessible, permitting you to generate several read-write instances of your Aurora database over different Availability Zones, that allows uptime-sensitive applications to get constant write accessibility via instance failure. In the instance failure or Availability Zone failure case, Aurora Multi-Master allows the Aurora database to retain read and write accessibility with zero application downtime. There is no necessity for database failovers to restart write operations with Aurora Multi-Master.
