Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)
There were plenty of custom web application running on our customer environment in local DB setup. It required lot of admin efforts and it caused development inefficiency. I researched and proposed the AWS RDS as out customer was having AWS platform already. With AWS RDS we cut down the efforts in managing the softwares and admin tasks. We are able to scale up as per demand for some high usage applications without any heckle.
- High Availability
- Easy to scale up
- security
- automatic patching and upgrade
- Recovery is slow if workload is too high after failure
- Dashboard is little bit confusing for new user
- DB Replication is sometimes problematic
- Reduced mannual effort
- Better Managed
- Reliable
During the migration from MySQL installed on Linux to AWS RDS, we were almost surprised as it was done by few clicks rather than too much configurations ans steps in case of traditional DB migrations. In no time our platform was up and running.
