6. Challenges with Relational Databases
Server Maintenance and energy footprint
Software install and patches
Databases Backup and High Availability
Limits of Scalability
Data Security
Operating system and pathces

7. What is RDS
• Fully Managed Relational Database Service in the
AWS Cloud
• Multi Engine Support
• Cost efficient
• Resizable capacity
• Automated provisioning ,patching, scaling, replica,
backup/restore
• Easley scale to handle growth
• Highly Available with Multi-AZ Feature
• Focus on Data only and Optimizing your application

8. RDS Manage?
• OS Installation and patches
• Database software installation and patches
• Database Backups
• High Availability
• Scaling
• Power
• Servers Maintaince

9. RDS Building Blocks

10. Supported Engines
Commercial Opensource Cloud Native

11. RDS On VPC (Virtual Private Cloud)
Private Subnet
Assign IP Address Range
Configure Routing and Access Control List
Subnet with Single AZ = physical Location

12. Multi-AZ RDS
Exact Copy of your production in another AZ
• Once configured
RDS Auto
Generate Stand
By instance in
another AZ
• Continuous synchronization
• Enhance Availability
• Protect from DB Failure
• Disaster Recovery Only

13. Multi-AZ
Failover
If Master Fail >>
Stand by instance
will be online and
act as the master
Synchronization =
No Data loss
Endpoint = Connection string
No Code change when moving
to the standby

14. Read Replicas
Read only copies of your Database
Support Replica for up to 5 read replicas
MySQL – MariaDB – PostgreSQL - Amazon Aurora
• Asynchronous method
• Offload read queries from the master DB
• Ideal for ready-heavy DB workload
• Read replica an be promoted to master in needed
• Can be created in a different region
• Disaster recovery
• Cutting down latency by directing reads to the replica
close to the user’s region

15. Read Replicas
Read only copies of your Database
When ?
• Scaling by redirecting read traffic to one or more
replicas
• Serving read traffic when the master is not available
• Business reporting or Datawarehouse Scenarios

16. Read Replicas
Read only copies of your Database
How ?
• RDS will create snapshot
• No Multi AZ ? Snapshot from primary DB and
There will be suspension for around 1 minute
• Multi-AZ Enabled? Snapshot from secondary DB and
You will not experience ant issue on your production
New Replica >> New Endpoint

17. Read Replicas Vs Multi AZ
Read ReplicasMulti AZ
1. Asynchronous replication highly Scalable
2. All Replicas are active for read scaling
3. No Backups configured by default
4. Can be within AZ ,Cross-AZ, Cross-region
5. DB Engine version upgrades independently
from source instance
6. Read Scaling only
1. Synchronous replication highly durable
2. Only primary instance is active
3. Backup can be taken from secondary
4. Always in 2 AZ within a region
5. DB Engine version upgrades happen on
primary
6. Disaster Recovery only

18. Backups Automated
Allow you to recover at any point in time
Period of retention 1 to 35 days
Full Daily snapshot
Recovery use the most recent one
Enabled by default
Stored on S3 with free storage equal to DB Size

19. Backups snapshots
Manually , user initiated
They are stored even after you delete the original RDS
Restored version of the DB will be new Instance with new RDS Endpoint
Restoring…….
Original.eu-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com Restored.eu-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com

20. Monitoring
Tools
Amazon RDS Events
Database log files
Amazon RDS Enhanced Monitoring
Amazon CloudWatch Metrics
Amazon CloudWatch Alarms
Amazon CloudWatch Logs
From the RDS console, you can monitor the following items
• No of connections to a DB instance
• amount of read and write operations to a DB instance
• amount of storage that a DB instance is currently utilizing
• amount of memory and CPU being utilized for a DB instance
• amount of network traffic to and from a DB instance

21. Pricing

22. Security
• RDS Secure by Default
• Network Isolation within VPC
• Granting and revoking permissions using AWS Identify and access Management (IAM)
• Encrypting at rest using AWS KMS (for all engines ) or TDE for Oracle/Microsoft Transport Data Encryption
• Using SSL protection for data in transit

23. Migration Using DMS
AWS Database Migration Service
AWS Database Migration Service (AWS
DMS) is a cloud service that makes it easy
to migrate relational databases, data
warehouses, NoSQL databases, and other
types of data stores. You can use AWS DMS
to migrate your data into the AWS Cloud,
between on-premises instances, or
between combinations of cloud and on-
premises setups.

24. Use Cases
• Web And Mobile Application
• E-commerce application
• Mobile and online games
