At the time of making this presentation AWS did not have anything in their offer that could match tuned MySQL on i2 instances. Aurora was just getting started.

But nowadays? I'm all in for Aurora.

According to OP, 800 IOPS was the bottleneck and i2 compute capacity was overkill. RDS offers provisioned IOPS (aka PIOPS) - up to at least 30000 at the time (https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2014/10/09/amazon...).
