Product Details

What is Amazon RDS?

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) allows users to set up, operate, and scale a database in the cloud. The vendor states it provides cost-efficient and resizable capacity while automating time-consuming administration tasks such as hardware provisioning, setup, patching, and backups. This frees users to focus on applications so they can give them the fast performance, high availability, security, and compatibility they need.

Amazon RDS is available on several database instance types - optimized for memory, performance or I/O - and provides you with six familiar database engines to choose from including Amazon Aurora, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Oracle Database, and SQL Server.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our company needed a reliable and fast solution for storing our customer data and Amazon Relational Database Service was a good choice because of all the set of features it offers. On top of the relational storage, our company could comply with market standards by easily having replication, backup, patching and user management easily implemented natively in the solution. What is also great about Amazon Relational Database Service is that you can manage everything using terraform, making it easy to reproduce the configurations in multiple environments.
