Amazon RDS makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It’s a web service running in the cloud and provides relational database for use with Content Services. Amazon RDS supports and gives you online access to the capabilities of the following relational database management systems (RDBMS):
- Amazon Aurora
- MySQL
- Oracle
- PostgreSQL
- Microsoft SQL Server
As good practice, when using an Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) environment, you may want to use Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) where an S3 bucket is used as a content store. See Alfresco Content Connector for AWS S3 documentation for more information.
Read the following sections to configure a database for Amazon RDS.
