RDBMS bij Amazon

Amazon AWS brengt nu naast de al bestaande key-value database ook een RDBMS (My SQL) in de cloud. Ik ben er wel blij mee.

Uit de email aan de klanten:

"We are excited to announce the public beta of Amazon Relational Database Service
(Amazon RDS), a new web service that makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale
relational databases in the cloud. Amazon RDS gives you all the features and
capabilities of a MySQL database, while managing time-consuming database
administration tasks and providing the cost-efficiency of running in the AWS cloud.
We're also excited to announce lower prices for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon
EC2) instances and a new family of Amazon EC2 High-Memory Instances, tailored for
customers wanting to run their own large databases and other memory intensive
applications. To get started using Amazon RDS, High-Memory Instances for Amazon EC2,
and other Amazon Web Services, visit http://aws.amazon.com

Amazon RDS provides a fully featured MySQL database, so the code, applications, and
tools that you use today with your existing MySQL databases work in Amazon RDS
without modification. The service automatically handles common database
administration tasks, such as setup and provisioning, patch management, and backup.
You also have the flexibility to scale the compute and storage resources associated
with your database instance through a simple API call. "
