What is Amazon RDS?

AMAZON RDS

Amazon RDS is a service which provides database connectivity through the Internet. RDS makes it very simple and easy to set-up a relational database in the cloud.
Instead of concentrating on database features, you can concentrate more on the application to provide high availability, security, and compatibility. RDS is a fully managed RDBMS service.

Benefits of Amazon RDS

·       There is no need to install any database software and provide the infrastructure.

·       AWS automatically installs the latest software patches to the RDS instance which you have launched.


2.     Cost-effective


·      You just pay for what you use, and nothing more. No upfront payment is needed, just the monthly usage payment.
