You can deploy RDS on Outposts to set up, operate, and scale Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL relational databases on premises, just as you would in the cloud. RDS on Outposts provides cost-efficient and resizable capacity for on-premises databases, while automating time-consuming administration tasks including infrastructure provisioning, database setup, patching, and backups, freeing you to focus on your applications.

When you deploy RDS on Outposts, you can run RDS on-premises for low-latency workloads that need to be run in close proximity to your on-premises data and applications. RDS on Outposts also enables automatic backup to your Outpost or to an AWS Region.

You can manage RDS databases both in the cloud and on premises using the same AWS Management Console, APIs, and command line interface (CLI). RDS on Outposts supports Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL and PostgreSQL database engines, with support for additional database engines coming soon.
