This document provides an overview of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and its portfolio of cloud computing services. It discusses the breadth and depth of the AWS platform, which includes over 100 services across computing, storage, databases, analytics, mobile, developer tools, management tools, IoT, and enterprise applications. The document also summarizes several core AWS services like Amazon EC2 for virtual servers, Amazon S3 for object storage, Amazon DynamoDB for NoSQL databases, and Amazon RDS for SQL databases. It highlights how AWS services provide scalability, reliability, security, and low costs compared to on-premises infrastructure.

42. Database

43. AWS Database Options
1. Self-Managed in Amazon
EC2
2. Use one of our Managed DB
Services

44. Why managed database

50. The self-managed vs. AWS-managed decision
Self-managed database AWS-managed database
You have full responsibility for
upgrades and backup
AWS provides upgrades, backup, and
failover as a service
You have full responsibility for security AWS provides high infrastructure
security, certifications; gives you tools
to ensure DB security
Full control over parameters of server,
OS, and database
Database is a managed appliance, so
you can easily automate
Replication is expensive, complex,
and requires a lot of engineering
AWS provides failover as a packaged
service

51. A managed service for each major DB type
