Amazon RDS is a managed RDB service provided by AWS. You can choose from a variety of database engines, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle Database

AWS also offers Amazon Aurora, an RDS service with an architecture developed by AWS that maximizes the benefits of the cloud. One of the major benefits of using Amazon RDS is that it streamlines operational tasks such as data backups and hardware maintenance, which can often be complicated

Amazon RDS features

●
Because it's a managed service database provided by AWS, database management, patching, security updates, and hardware updates are performed automatically, minimizing the amount of database management work required.

● Improved Availability:
By utilizing Amazon RDS's Multi-AZ feature, applications can automatically fail over to another availability zone without interrupting service. This is expected to improve the fault tolerance and availability of the database.

● Automatic Backup:
We provide an automatic backup (snapshot) function for the database. The automatic backup process is performed daily. In addition, data can be restored as needed within the set retention period, thus preventing data loss in the event of an accident.

●
To ensure the security of the security database, we provide numerous security features, including database encryption, access control, and audit logs.

Amazon Aurora Features

● Scalability
Amazon Aurora supports vertical and horizontal scaling. Vertical scaling allows you to increase the resources of your instances, such as CPU, memory, and storage. Horizontal scaling allows you to create read replicas to offload read processing for queries.

● High-speed processing of large amounts of data
: Amazon Aurora delivers high-speed read and write performance. Using advanced technologies such as multithreading, page caching, and online log playback, it achieves fast performance even when processing data for large-scale applications.

● Supports automatic sharding.
Sharding is a method of dividing a database and is effective when dealing with large amounts of data. By dividing data using a shard key (a key for dividing data), for example, if the customer ID is the shard key, data for the same customer will be stored in the same shard.

With sharding, Amazon RDS Aurora divides your data across multiple instances, with each instance serving queries against its own shard, providing increased scalability and load balancing

Amazon RDS Aurora supports automatic sharding, which allows Amazon RDS Aurora to automatically partition your data to provide optimal performance. You can also configure manual sharding, which gives you control over how your data is distributed
