Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)

Since this is a managed service it provides in built high availability and scalability. Also we can secure our data by encrypting them at both transit and rest. One more useful use case is, we can selectively encrypt sensitive data to give extra protection
