The basics of AWS RDS

Amazon Relational Database Service allows us to create, run, and manage relational databases in the cloud. With RDS, you can choose from six well-known relational database engines:

1. Aurora (AWS’s relational database)
2. MySQL
3. PostgreSQL
4. SQL Server
5. MariaDB
6. Oracle Database

Why would you choose to use AWS RDS? RDS abstracts the complex tasks and lets you focus on the most important ones. For instance, RDS manages backups, patching, failure detection, and recovery by itself.

Thus, instead of spending time to do all those, you can focus on more critical tasks. As you can see, AWS RDS provides us with more than a database.
