Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)
we used AWS Rational Database as we needed to migrate a PostreSql database from another cloud provider to AWS. We needed a database that was reliable and high performance but at the same time also cost effective and configurable to my company's high security standards. The Database also had to be connected to the Backend inside a VPC with no possibility of being exposed to the public.
- Cheaper
- Reliable
- Customizable
- Complex and non-intuitive configuration
- Possibility of connection from the outside only through a Tunnel with EC2
- Lacks ability to consult the DB form the console
- Cheap for small instance
- No maintenance required
- Simple to change the instance with a larger one
RDS has better security and is much more configurable, likewise more complex and not for inexperienced users.
