RDS Managed Database Vision
 We make it easy to set up, operate, and scale relational databases in the cloud so
customers can focus on application optimization.
 Higher bar on security, durability and availability than what’s available on-premises or on
EC2 or any other cloud provider.
 Customers can choose the database that is right for them:
 Amazon Aurora, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server.
 Tiny databases on small CPUs to enterprise-class databases on enterprise hardware.
 We work to save our customers money through elasticity and operational efficiencies.

Cross Region Read Replicas
• Bring data close to your customer’s
applications in different regions
• Relieve pressure on your master
node for supporting reads and
writes
• Promote a Read Replica to a
master for faster recovery in the
event of disaster
Within or cross-region
• MySQL
• MariaDB
• PostgreSQL
• Aurora

Automated Backups
• MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Oracle, SQL Server
– Scheduled daily volume backup of entire instance
– Archive database change logs
– Maximum 35-day retention
– Taken from standby when running Multi-AZ
• Aurora
– Automatic, continuous, incremental backups
– No impact on database performance
– 35-day retention
Every day during your
backup window, the RDS
service creates a storage
volume snapshot of your
database
Every five minutes, RDS
backs up the transaction
logs of your database
