It\u2019s not just that if the master fails, you get a new slave being the master; you get a replacement node being added, so as to ensure that your load keeps up with the traffic. These instances don\u2019t cost much more (the higher the memory size, the cheaper it gets \u2013 1.5% extra for something production ready, down to 7.7% more expensive for something to kick around the tires with)<\/p>\n<p>There is also scheduled backups (daily incremental, weekly full) and you can specify the backup window.<\/p>\n<p>Previously on Rackspace, you not only had to spin up a cloud database, but also a compute instance to access your databases.
