Amazon RDS & Amazon Aurora
Managed relational database services on AWS — Amazon RDS and Amazon Aurora — giving you high availability, scalability, and security without the operational overhead.
Are you looking for a partner to help you manage your database and ensure its security?
Our team of experts is skilled in using Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) to set up, operate, and scale your database in the cloud. With RDS, you can choose from several popular database engines — such as MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and Aurora — and take advantage of features like automated backups, point-in-time recovery, and read replicas to improve the performance and availability of your database. Plus, RDS is fully managed by AWS, so you can focus on developing your application rather than maintaining the underlying infrastructure.
As security specialists, Cloud Nomads is also dedicated to protecting your data. We use state-of-the-art security measures, such as network isolation and encryption at rest, to keep your database secure.
Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)
A web service that makes it easier to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient, resizable capacity for an industry-standard relational database and manages common database administration tasks.
Cost efficiency
RDS provides a cost-effective way to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud, with a pay-as-you-go pricing model.
High availability
RDS automatically creates and maintains a standby replica in a different Availability Zone, which can be used to minimize downtime in the event of an outage or failure.
Scalability
RDS allows you to scale your database capacity up or down as needed, so you only pay for the resources you use.
Compatibility
RDS supports a wide range of popular database engines, including MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and others, making it easy to migrate your existing applications to the cloud.
Managed service
RDS is a fully managed database service, which means that AWS handles tasks such as patching, backups, and replication, allowing you to focus on developing your application.
Security
RDS provides several security features, such as network isolation using Amazon VPC and encryption at rest using AWS Key Management Service (KMS).
Amazon Aurora
A fully managed, MySQL- and PostgreSQL-compatible relational database engine that combines the speed and reliability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open-source databases. It's designed to be scalable, highly available, and fault-tolerant, with an SLA of 99.99% availability.
Cost efficiency
Aurora is a cost-effective option for a high-performance database, with a pay-as-you-go pricing model that allows you to only pay for the resources you use.
High availability
Aurora is designed to be highly available, with multiple replicas across multiple Availability Zones and automatic failover in the event of an outage or failure.
Scalability
Aurora automatically scales the amount of storage used by the database up or down as needed, without requiring manual intervention or affecting database performance.
Compatibility
Aurora is compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL, making it easy to migrate your existing applications to the cloud.
Managed service
Aurora is fully managed by AWS, which means that AWS handles tasks such as patching and backups, allowing you to focus on developing your application.
Security
Aurora provides several security features, such as network isolation using Amazon VPC and encryption at rest using AWS Key Management Service (KMS).
