RDS (Relational Database Service) este un serviciu de baze de date gestionate — rulează baze de date relaționale (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, etc.) pentru tine, gestionând sarcinile operaționale (configurare, backup-uri, patch-uri, scalare, failover) astfel încât să te poți concentra pe aplicația ta, nu pe administrarea bazei de date.
Ce oferă RDS: baze de date gestionate
RDS runs RELATIONAL DATABASES and MANAGES the operational burden for you:
→ SETUP — provision a database in minutes
→ BACKUPS — automated backups + point-in-time recovery
→ PATCHING — handles software updates/security patches
→ SCALING — resize compute/storage; read replicas
→ HIGH AVAILABILITY — Multi-AZ failover (standby in another zone)
→ MONITORING — built-in metrics
→ vs running a database YOURSELF on EC2 (you'd manage all of the above manually).
