I run a 30TB MySql server on EC2. We raid 0 multiple EBS volumes for space and iops.

It is completely unmanageable - I inherited it. We’re moving data out, but slowly. This DB houses PII for tens of millions of users.

gp2. master and multiple read slaves. we we pay millions per year for AWS and support.

Can I submit a proposal?

Sure
