Overview
Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) simplifies the installation, operation and scaling of relational databases in the AWS cloud. HCLTech's expertise in deploying Amazon RDS has enabled many customers to migrate seamlessly to a flexible, scalable and cost-effective database solution.
Amazon RDS automates several tasks, including starting and stopping non-productive instances, monitoring backups and implementing data masking processes that make databases available for development and approval environments, providing great peace of mind for your business daily. Multiple database engines like Amazon Aurora, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL are compatible with Amazon RDS.
It also helps optimize heavy database workloads, enables the running of mission-critical workloads and leverages a multi-availability zone approach, making it one of the most reliable services. Amazon RDS, a fully managed database service, will give you time for innovation, building new applications and ultimately reducing operational costs.
