Using Amazon Aurora global databases with other AWS services - Amazon Aurora

Using Amazon Aurora global databases with other AWS services

You can use your Aurora global databases with other AWS services, such as Amazon S3 and AWS Lambda. Doing so requires that all Aurora DB clusters in your global database have the same privileges, external functions, and so on in the respective AWS Regions. Because a read-only Aurora secondary DB cluster in an Aurora global database can be promoted to the role of primary, we recommend that you set up write privileges ahead of time, on all Aurora DB clusters for any services you plan to use with your Aurora global database.

The following procedures summarize the actions to take for each AWS service.

To invoke AWS Lambda functions from an Aurora global database

  1. For all the Aurora clusters that make up the Aurora global database, perform the procedures in Invoking a Lambda function from an Amazon Aurora MySQL DB cluster.

  2. For each cluster in the Aurora global database, set the (ARN) of the new IAM (IAM) role.

  3. To permit database users in an Aurora global database to invoke Lambda functions, associate the role that you created in Creating an IAM role to allow Amazon Aurora to access AWS services with each cluster in the Aurora global database.

  4. Configure each cluster in the Aurora global database to allow outbound connections to Lambda. For instructions, see Enabling network communication from Amazon Aurora to other AWS services.

To load data from Amazon S3

  1. For all the Aurora clusters that make up the Aurora global database, perform the procedures in Loading data into an Amazon Aurora MySQL DB cluster from text files in an Amazon S3 bucket.

  2. For each Aurora cluster in the global database, set either the aurora_load_from_s3_role or aws_default_s3_role DB cluster parameter to the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the new IAM role. If an IAM role isn't specified for aurora_load_from_s3_role, Aurora uses the IAM role specified in aws_default_s3_role.

  3. To permit database users in an Aurora global database to access S3, associate the role that you created in Creating an IAM role to allow Amazon Aurora to access AWS services with each Aurora cluster in the global database.

  4. Configure each Aurora cluster in the global database to allow outbound connections to S3. For instructions, see Enabling network communication from Amazon Aurora to other AWS services.

To save queried data to Amazon S3

  1. For all the Aurora clusters that make up the Aurora global database, perform the procedures in Saving data from an Amazon Aurora MySQL DB cluster into text files in an Amazon S3 bucket or Exporting data from an Aurora PostgreSQL DB cluster to Amazon S3.

  2. For each Aurora cluster in the global database, set either the aurora_select_into_s3_role or aws_default_s3_role DB cluster parameter to the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the new IAM role. If an IAM role isn't specified for aurora_select_into_s3_role, Aurora uses the IAM role specified in aws_default_s3_role.

  3. To permit database users in an Aurora global database to access S3, associate the role that you created in Creating an IAM role to allow Amazon Aurora to access AWS services with each Aurora cluster in the global database.

  4. Configure each Aurora cluster in the global database to allow outbound connections to S3. For instructions, see Enabling network communication from Amazon Aurora to other AWS services.
