The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Advanced .NET Data Provider Driver is now generally available for Amazon RDS and Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL and MySQL-compatible databases. This advanced database driver reduces RDS Blue/Green switchover and database failover times, improving application availability. Additionally, it supports multiple authentication mechanisms for your database, including Federated Authentication, AWS Secrets Manager authentication, and token-based authentication with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM).
The driver builds on top of Npgsql PostgreSQL, native MySql.Data, and MySqlConnector drivers to further enhance functionality beyond standard database connectivity. The driver is natively integrated with Aurora and RDS databases, enabling it to monitor database cluster status and quickly connect to newly promoted writers during unexpected failures that trigger database failovers. Furthermore, the driver seamlessly works with popular frameworks like NHibernate and supports Entity Framework (EF) with MySQL databases.
The driver is available as an open-source project under the Apache 2.0 license. Refer the instructions on the on the GitHub repository to get started.
