Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)
In healthcare, managing patient records and sensitive data securely is crucial. RDS offers encrypted storage, ensuring data security and compliance with regulations like HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). This encryption extends to data in transit and at rest. With RDS, you can set up multi-AZ (Availability Zone) deployments for high availability. This is vital in healthcare, where database downtime can directly impact patient care. In case of disasters, RDS facilitates quick recovery, minimizing data loss.

- RDS allow us to focurs on owr objetives instead of the other matters regarding databases.
In a few words, we are just to confortable working with oracle and sql server. Using RDS add another layer of distributed database in order to backup everything we have in case of a disaster and also complies with authorities locally and internacionally. All database we use, are local in custom servers that we maintain, but we agree to expand this.
