What is AWS RDS?

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) is a distributed relational database service by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It allows users to run relational databases in the AWS cloud without managing the underlying database infrastructure. It supports multiple database engines like MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Oracle, SQL Server, and Amazon Aurora. RDS is commonly used for applications requiring structured data storage, retrieval, and management, offering scalability, high availability, and cost-effectiveness.
