Description

The Store IT CI for Aurora Postgres utilises ansible playbooks to execute the Store IT tests in a EC2 instance in the same AWS region as the Aurora cluster. Currently the EC2 instance connects to Aurora via the public endpoint that is exposed over the internet, however it should be possible to route all traffic internally within AWS by utilising a peering-connection between the EC2 and Aurora VPC. This should reduce latency encountered by the tests and reduce the overall execution time. Furthermore, this is more representative of the ROSA -> Aurora connection that is detailed in the high-availability guides.

Details

The Aurora scripts should still allow a public facing cluster to be provisioned in order to facilitate debugging of tests on local dev machines.
