Database management made simple - Amazon RDS (Part 1 and 2)
summary
Amazon RDS runs managed MySQL/MariaDB with daily full backups plus continuous binary logs for point‑in‑time restores up to 60 days, automatic failover that detects failures in ~15s and promotes a replica in another ~15s (typical downtime ~30s), and up to five default read replicas with replica‑chaining available. Storage defaults to gp2 (3 IOPS/GB, max 10k IOPS) or provisioned IOPS (up to 20k), RDS limits raw DB size to 6 TB (Aurora offers 64 TB and 6‑way durable storage). Free tier T2 micro (750 hours/month), enhanced monitoring costs $0.02/metric/month, and DMS moves data at about $0.05/GB.
