Here, the defaults will cover most workloads, but you may need to do some research on what type of storage is needed for your perceived workloads. Same with the DB instance class and storage, as this is an AWS-specific setting. Similar to the 'Easy create' method, select the engine type, and the credentials settings will be similar. Standard (see below) shows this, or it can be calculated here. Also, note that 'Easy create' does not tell you how much it costs, or even an estimate for costs. You will need a VPN service to use this on an external computer (with PgAdmin, for example). It's important to realize that this 'Easy create' method will not be able to talk to the open internet. Assuming this is for a service within your default VPC it should work out of the box.
#AWS POSTGRESQL LICENSING UPDATE#
It can be useful to use an AWS-generated password or generated strong password stored in a vault, as after this screen you will need to use a tool such as PgAdmin or CLI to update the password. Once configuring identifiers, usernames and passwords you can view the defaults it sets. Note that we've limited the examples below to the PostgreSQL configuration. Also note that the MySQL, MariaDB, and MS SQL Server options will have a 'DB Instance Size' of 'Free Tier' as well. All but Aurora have a password field, and some make you decide a main database name, but with the default filled. You can select any of the database types, and for each there is always a username field. Although it uses defaults for almost all features besides the password, so is inadequate any moderately-complex network or VPC scheme.

First we'll walk through 'Easy create', then 'Standard create', as 'Easy create' is extremely simple and a great way to get rolling. There are two creation methods to choose from, regardless of database type. There is a pane below the 'Resources' pane (not shown) that allows you to create a database other than Aurora.Īlternatively, a database that is active can be viewed here: Notice that AWS is encourage the user to create an Aurora database. The preferred method to instantiate RDS instances is from the AWS Management Console, seen below.

How to Set Up and Configure an RDS Database

The latter two have the ability to use a free/community edition, import a license, or purchase a license alongside the provisioning of RDS itself. In addition of Aurora, RDS is also available on MySQL, PostgresSQL, MariaDB, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server. It is advertised that Aurora bakes in replication, backup, monitoring, upgrades and other tasks that in some cases are tasks a user of a different flavor of RDS offering would be responsible for.

It could be said that the Aurora product has more features managed by Amazon than the other RDS service offerings.

RDS provides a Free Tier with limitations, but that rolls off your account after a year of it opening. The RDS service allows for spinning up both open and closed-source database frameworks, as well as the free-to-use product called Amazon Aurora, which is MySQL and PostgreSQL compatible.

But being an expert in EC2 or some other compute instance is not necessary neither is an advanced DBA (Database Administrator) skill set needed.
