How to Automate Data Compliance for Aurora MySQL

Automating Data Compliance with Native Tools for Aurora MySQL

Automating compliance for Aurora MySQL with native AWS tools involves understanding built-in features and configuring them effectively. AWS provides native auditing capabilities through plugins like MariaDB Audit Plugin, allowing database administrators to capture activity logs and monitor security.

AWS Aurora MySQL supports native auditing with easy-to-activate options. To enable auditing, you modify the parameter groups associated with your Aurora MySQL instance:

CALL mysql.rds_set_configuration('server_audit_logging', 'ON');
CALL mysql.rds_set_configuration('server_audit_events', 'CONNECT,QUERY');

This configuration captures crucial database activity, from user logins to detailed query logs. Detailed steps are available on the AWS Audit Plugin documentation.

Automating compliance for Aurora MySQL can start with native AWS tools, though these have clear limitations:
