Title of Assignment:
Database Configuration: Configure and using various databases available on Amazon AWS
(RDS)

Outcome / Learning objectives:


● Understand the different database services available on AWS, including relational,
NoSQL, and in-memory databases.
● Gain hands-on experience in configuring, managing, and using various AWS
databases, such as Amazon RDS, DynamoDB, and Amazon Aurora.
● Learn how to connect to and interact with AWS-managed databases for data storage,
retrieval, and manipulation.
● Explore the security features, scalability, and backup options offered by AWS
databases.
● Understand the use cases for different types of databases, including when to choose
relational databases vs. NoSQL options.

Theory:

AWS provides several managed database services that cater to different data management
needs. Here’s an overview of some key database services available:
1. Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service):
Amazon RDS is a fully managed relational database service that supports popular
databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Oracle, and SQL Server. It simplifies
database setup, scaling, and maintenance. RDS handles backups, patching, and
replication, allowing users to focus on their applications while AWS manages the
database infrastructure.
2. Amazon Aurora:
Amazon Aurora is a high-performance, fully managed relational database compatible
with MySQL and PostgreSQL. Aurora is designed for cloud-native applications and
offers improved speed and reliability compared to traditional MySQL and
PostgreSQL databases, with automatic backups, replication, and scaling.
3. Amazon DynamoDB:
Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed, fast, and flexible NoSQL database service
designed for applications requiring low-latency data access at scale. It supports both
document and key-value store models, making it ideal for applications that need to
store large amounts of unstructured data or need high availability with minimal
operational overhead.
4. Amazon ElastiCache:
Amazon ElastiCache is an in-memory data store that supports Redis and Memcached.
It is used for caching data to improve the performance of web applications by
reducing the load on primary databases. ElastiCache helps achieve low-latency access
to frequently accessed data.

More about Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service):

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) is a fully managed database service provided by
AWS that allows users to set up, operate, and scale relational databases in the cloud. It
supports multiple popular database engines, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB,
Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server, providing flexibility for different application
requirements. RDS automates administrative tasks such as hardware provisioning, database
setup, patching, and backups, freeing developers from managing the database infrastructure.
RDS allows users to deploy databases with high availability using the Multi-AZ (Availability
Zone) feature, which automatically replicates data across multiple data centers. It also
provides automated backups, database snapshots, and the ability to scale resources (CPU,
memory, and storage) up or down based on demand. The service supports read replicas to
improve read performance and distribute traffic, as well as automatic failover in case of
database instance failure.
● In to AWS Console and open RDS from the Services menu.
● Click Create database and choose the database engine (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL).
● Select Standard Create, and configure the DB instance identifier, Master
username, and password.
● Choose the instance class and storage options based on your needs.
● Enable Multi-AZ deployment for high availability (optional).
● Set Backup retention, Maintenance window, and automated backups.
● Configure VPC, subnet group, and security groups for network access.
● Set additional database options (e.g., database name, port).
● Review settings and click Create database.
● Once created, use the Endpoint to connect to the database.

Summary
Conclusion(s):
This assignment offered hands-on experience in configuring and utilizing various AWS
database services, with a primary focus on Amazon RDS. Through working with RDS, I
gained a deeper understanding of setting up and managing relational databases in a cloud
environment. I learned to configure RDS for optimal performance, scalability, and high
availability, as well as explored its integration with other AWS services. This knowledge is
valuable for building robust cloud-based applications, ensuring efficient data management,
security, and operational efficiency with AWS’s managed database solutions.
