Package rds provides the API client, operations, and parameter types for Amazon
Relational Database Service.
Amazon Relational Database Service Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon
RDS) is a web service that makes it easier to set up, operate, and scale a
relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient, resizeable
capacity for an industry-standard relational database and manages common
database administration tasks, freeing up developers to focus on what makes
their applications and businesses unique. Amazon RDS gives you access to the
capabilities of a MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Db2,
or Amazon Aurora database server. These capabilities mean that the code,
applications, and tools you already use today with your existing databases work
with Amazon RDS without modification. Amazon RDS automatically backs up your
database and maintains the database software that powers your DB instance.
Amazon RDS is flexible: you can scale your DB instance's compute resources and
storage capacity to meet your application's demand. As with all Amazon Web
Services, there are no up-front investments, and you pay only for the resources
you use. This interface reference for Amazon RDS contains documentation for a
programming or command line interface you can use to manage Amazon RDS. Amazon
RDS is asynchronous, which means that some interfaces might require techniques
such as polling or callback functions to determine when a command has been
applied. In this reference, the parameter descriptions indicate whether a
command is applied immediately, on the next instance reboot, or during the
maintenance window. The reference structure is as follows, and we list following
some related topics from the user guide. Amazon RDS API Reference
