Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service) Actions

Description: Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) is a web service that makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient and re-sizable capacity while managing time-consuming database administration tasks, freeing you up to focus on your applications and business.

RDS is designed for developers or businesses who require the full features and capabilities of a relational database, or who wish to migrate existing applications and tools that utilize a relational database. It gives you access to the full capabilities of a MySQL 5.1 database running on your own Amazon RDS database instance.

IMPORTANT: RDS activities are performed using Amazon's Relational Database Service engine, therefore, administering Amazon RDS requires a valid Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
