I am working on DevOps, tools, Kubernetes, and Docker. I work with Docker on CentOS. I have been working with Docker on CentOS.
We are using AWS tools almost exclusively. Currently, we are not using Amazon RDS, but in the past two to three months ago, I have built it during university projects, helped final year students, and taught some students to solve their problems and parts of problems that encourage and help in their projects.
I have been working with Amazon RDS for 6 months. We are using MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Oracle, and SQL server for Amazon RDS. Customers usually use Amazon RDS for database authentication and production accounts, secrets manager parameters, stores, and making RDP passwords.
The features of Amazon RDS that I have found most valuable include web and mobile applications, enterprise applications, data warehousing and analytics, and software as a service platforms, along with dev testing environments, disaster recoveries, and backups.
The mobile app backend and development environment is also the best feature for database management for my customers.
Database management is effective in Amazon RDS because it offers automated backups, high availability, read replicas, and support from multiple database engineers, while also providing security, monitoring and metrics, scalability. We are using snapshots and database migrations as well as performance optimization.
The impact of Amazon RDS scalability and backup has been positive, with good vertical scaling, scale up and down, horizontal scaling, and storage scaling. The performance was good and availability helped with reducing downtime.
