The diagram shows the key features and benefits of Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS). Three sections display from left to right.
The first section has an illustration of a laptop. The first section is titled “Connect” and says “Connect your app to any of the 7 Amazon RDS engines.” An arrow points to the second section.
The second section has the Amazon RDS architectural icon with the title “Amazon Relational Database Service” and text “Set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud with just a few clicks.” Encapsulated in the box to the right under the header “Amazon RDS managed features” are six smaller boxes, each highlighting a key feature. These features are: “Security and compliance,” “Performance and scalability,” “Automated patching and upgrades,” “Data durability and redundancy,” “Monitoring and alerting,” and “Backup and recovery.” An arrow points to the third section.
The third section does not have a title but shows five smaller boxes, each highlighting a benefit of using Amazon RDS. Starting from top to bottom, the benefits listed are: “Focus on innovation,” “Migrate without rearchitecting apps,” “Less time managing databases,” “Improve database and infrastructure efficiency,” and “Decrease capital and operational expenses.”
The diagram shows the process of using Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) Custom. Two sections display from left to right.
The first section has an illustration of a laptop. The first section says “Connect to the Amazon RDS endpoint.”
The second section has the Amazon RDS architectural icon with the title “Amazon RDS Custom” and text “A managed database service for applications that require operating system and database customization. Available for RDS Custom for Oracle and RDS Custom for SQL Server.” Enclosed in the box to the right highlights three steps within RDS Custom. First step shows illustration of three cubes and says “All AWS resources deployed into your AWS Account.” The second step has title “Support Perimeter” with explanatory text “Monitors and alerts on invalid customizations.” The second step is enclosed in a box with four small boxes to the left featuring service icons and text for “Amazon EC2,” “Amazon S3,” “AWS Systems Manager,” and “Amazon EBS,” from top to bottom. The third step shows a laptop with text “Install and run legacy, custom, and packaged applications.”
The diagram shows how data is moved using Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) on AWS Outposts. Three sections display from left to right.
The first section has an illustration of a laptop. The first section is titled “Choose your engine” and text says “Choose from Amazon RDS for MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server.”
The second section represents an AWS Region by enclosing in a box with text “AWS Region” in the upper left corner. The second section shows two service icons with text for “Amazon RDS” and Amazon KMS” inside the box.
Above a bilateral arrow, indicating data movement both ways between section two and three, is a padlock icon with text “1. AWS deploys Amazon RDS to your data center using a secure connection.”
The third section represents the Customer Data Center by enclosing in a box with text “Customer Data Center” in the upper left corner. Inside the box, the third section includes two next steps with text saying “2. Manage your Amazon RDS database in AWS Outposts using the same AWS Console, CLI, and APIs. Databases are encrypted using AWS KMS” and “3. Backups and snapshots are automatically stored locally or in the AWS Region” using AWS storage options, such as “Amazon S3” and “Amazon EBS”, listed below step 3.
Use cases
Build web and mobile applications
Support growing apps with high availability, throughput, and storage scalability. Take advantage of flexible pay-per-use pricing to suit various application usage patterns.
Move to managed databases
Innovate and build new apps with Amazon RDS instead of worrying about self-managing your databases, which can be time consuming, complex, and expensive.
Break free from legacy databases
Free yourself from expensive, punitive, commercial databases by migrating to Amazon Aurora. When you migrate to Aurora, you get the scalability, performance, and availability of commercial databases at 1/10th the cost.
