Amazon Relational Database Service is an AWS service that allows you to set up and operate relational databases in the AWS cloud. It manages most of the administration tasks related to the database. With RDS, users can focus on their applications and data without worrying about these routine tasks. This Cloud Lab aims to equip you with the necessary skills to use the Amazon RDS using the AWS Console.
You'll start by creating a VPC (virtual private cloud) where other components will be hosted. After creating the VPC, you'll create an EC2 instance that will be used to connect to the database instance. After creating these components, you'll begin working with RDS. You'll start by creating an RDS instance. You'll then connect with that instance using the EC2 created earlier. In the end, you'll make your DB instance highly available and optimal by deploying it in multiple availability zones and creating its read replicas.
By the end of this Cloud Lab, you'll have a good understanding of the basic concepts and practical skills required to get started with Amazon RDS and will be able to use the AWS Console to manage the Amazon RDS resources.
