What is RDS Custom?
RDS Custom is a managed database service for legacy, custom, and packaged applications that need customization of the underlying operating system and database environment. With RDS Custom, you have access to the database and underlying operating system to configure settings, install patches, and enable native features to meet the dependent application's requirements while also gaining the benefits of scalability, security, reliability, and reduced operational burden of a managed database service.
