Hey Rahul,

RDS has the ability to add “Read Replicas” on the fly. More info on the AWS site: http://aws.amazon.com/rds/mysql/#Read_Replica. Currently, AWS does not offer a managed solution to clustered databases. If you are looking for a more conventional MySQL cluster, you could create several RDS instances and configure MySQL replication inside the databases: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replication-howto.html (not sure if that is a feasible option)

Does it support clustering? Does it automatically figure out the load and add more instances? How does RDS actually help?

Thanks,
Rahul
