Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) Overview

What is Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient and resizable capacity while managing time-consuming database administration tasks such as hardware provisioning, database setup, patching and backups. It frees you up to focus on your apps so you can give them the better performance, availability, security, and compatibility they need. Amazon RDS is available on 6 familiar database instances: Amazon Aurora, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Oracle Database and SQL Server engines. This means that the code, applications, and tools you already use today with your existing databases can be used with Amazon RDS. Amazon RDS automatically patches the database software and backs up your database, storing the backups for a user-defined retention period and enabling point-in-time recovery. You benefit from the flexibility of being able to scale the compute resources or storage capacity associated with your relational database instance via a single API call. In addition, Amazon RDS makes it easy to use replication to enhance availability and reliability for production databases. Amazon RDS for MySQL also enables you to scale out beyond the capacity of a single database deployment for read-heavy database workloads. As with all Amazon Web Services, there are no up-front investments required, and you pay only for the resources you use.

"AWS: A feature and services rich cloud platform"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

AWS provides n number of services for each slab, whether it be business, enterprise, developer or any individual. It integrates with multiple platforms.

There is a free version that one can opt for, and If you are an individual exploring the services, you do not have to buy into the entire ecosystem, and there is no hurry from AWS for you to do so.

Pay as you use: A secure and simple process that gives you the liberty of paying for only the services you require.

AWS is known for its exceptional speed and the ease of moving the data around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

Privacy and data theft is a concern for most of the organizations.

Though it provides pay as you use service but sometimes it can be trouble if the on-going services are not stopped when not in use.

Constant changes in rates makes it a problem to set a budget of services that are used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
