Relational Database Service or RDS is a managed database service - AWS manages the database. - you can use SQL as query alnguage - available are: (MyPOSAM) - MySQL - PostgreSQL - Oracle - SQL Server (Microsoft) - Aurora - MariaDB
RDS has a lot of benefits versus deploying your own DB in an EC2 instance. - OS patching level - continuous backup and restore to specific timestamp - monitoring dashboards - read replicas for increased performance - multi-AZ setup for DR - maintenance windows for upgrades - scaling capability
BUT you cannot SSH into your DB instances - RDS.
