Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient, resizable capacity while automating time-consuming administration tasks such as hardware provisioning, database setup, patching, and backups.
RDS supports six popular database engines:
| Engine | Versions (example) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| MySQL | 5.7, 8.0 | Most widely used open-source relational database |
| PostgreSQL | 13, 14, 15, 16 | Advanced open-source database with rich extension ecosystem |
| MariaDB | 10.6, 10.11 | Community-developed fork of MySQL |
| Oracle | 19c, 21c | Enterprise engine; bring-your-own-licence (BYOL) or licence-included |
| SQL Server | 2019, 2022 | Microsoft's relational engine; Express, Web, Standard, Enterprise editions |
| Amazon Aurora | MySQL 8.0-compat, PostgreSQL 15-compat | AWS's cloud-native engine (covered in its own lesson) |
