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 is a leader in cloud"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

AWS offers easily accessible, affordable cloud storage options for businesses that can be accessed from anywhere in the world. You can get on-demand cloud services and it has pay-as-you-go pricing which is affordable and best for businesses. You can quickly move your applications to the cloud quickly and simply by using just a few clicks. Additionally, it offers specialized database applications with the proper tools already included. It is a must-have for any business, startup, or corporation, in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

At first, it feels complicated for beginners to get started with it. The interface of half of the applications is still pretty old. Also, the billing of the used cloud services is not mentioned in detail. It has a very overall view of the prices. Sometimes, you really need to optimize your expenses all the time. Also, there should a predicting tool to know how much would it cost to run a particular job on the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

AWS can be used with almost every framework and application. It has a great integration and documentation with steps and everything. There are a lot of Free-Tier tools that you can use before starting to pay. It has helped in minimizing the work of manual work which can now be handled by AWS. It is cheaper and easy to implement.
