Amazon RDS for MySQL

What is Amazon RDS for mysql?

MySQL is a widely used open source relational database and Amazon RDS makes it easier to set up, operate, and scale MySQL deployments in the cloud. With Amazon RDS, you can deploy scalable MySQL servers in minutes with cost-efficient and resizable hardware capacity.

Why Use Amazon RDS?

Amazon RDS for MySQL frees you up to focus on application development by managing time-consuming database administration tasks, including backups, upgrades, software patching, performance improvements, monitoring, scaling, and replication.

Amazon RDS Benefits

Easy Managed Deployments

With a few clicks in the AWS Management Console you can launch and connect to a production-ready MySQL database. Amazon RDS for MySQL database instances are pre-configured for the selected server type, and parameter groups provide granular control and fine-tuning. Amazon RDS Blue/Green Deployments are designed to make updates safer, simpler, and faster.

Fast Predictable Performance

Amazon RDS provides two SSD-backed storage options for your MySQL database. As your storage requirements grow you can provision additional storage on-the-fly with zero downtime. With Amazon RDS Optimized Writes, achieve up to 2x improved write transaction throughput, while Amazon RDS Optimized Reads provides you with up to 50% faster query processing.

Backup & Recovery

The automated backup feature of Amazon RDS enables recovery of your MySQL database instance to any point in time within your specified retention period of up to 35 days. In addition, you can perform user-initiated backups of your DB Instance. These full database backups will be stored by Amazon RDS until you explicitly delete them.

High Availability & Read Replicas

Amazon RDS Multi-AZ deployments provide enhanced availability and durability for your MySQL databases, making them a natural fit for production database workloads. Amazon RDS Read Replicas are designed to make it easier to elastically scale out beyond the capacity constraints of a single database instance for read-heavy database workloads.

Monitoring & Metrics

Amazon RDS provides Amazon CloudWatch metrics for your database instances at no additional charge and Amazon RDS Enhanced Monitoring provides access to over 50 CPU, memory, file system, and disk I/O metrics. View key operational metrics in AWS Management Console, including compute/memory/storage capacity utilization, I/O activity, and instance connections.

Isolation & Security

As a managed service, Amazon RDS provides a high level of security for your MySQL databases. These include network isolation using Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), encryption at rest using keys you create and control through AWS Key Management Service (KMS) and encryption of data in transit using SSL.
