RDS
AWS RDS is a managed database service provided by AWS that allows you to set up, operate, and scale relational databases in the cloud without needing to manage the underlying infrastructure. It supports various database engines, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server, and Amazon Aurora (a MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible database engine developed by AWS).
Amazon Relational Database Service
Managed Service
AWS RDS handles routine database tasks such as provisioning, patching, backup, recovery, scaling, and monitoring, allowing you to focus on your application development rather than database administration.
Multiple Database Engines
You can choose from several database engines based on your application's requirements and existing skills.
Automated Backups
AWS RDS automatically performs backups and retains transaction logs, making it easy to restore your database to a specific point in time.
Scalability
RDS offers options for both vertical and horizontal scaling. You can vertically scale by adjusting the instance size, or horizontally scale with features like Amazon RDS Read Replicas.
Automated Software Patching
RDS can automatically apply software patches to keep your databases up to date and secure.
