Amazon Relational Database Service (or Amazon RDS) is a distributed relational database service by Amazon Web Services (AWS). [2] It is a web service running "in the cloud" designed to simplify the setup, operation, and scaling of a relational database for use in applications. [3]
A cloud database is a database that typically runs on a cloud computing platform and access to the database is provided as-a-service. There are two common deployment models: users can run databases on the cloud independently, using a virtual machine image, or they can purchase access to a database service, maintained by a cloud database provider.
As another measure of privacy, AWS VPC provides users with the ability to create "dedicated instances" on hardware, physically isolating the dedicated instances from non-dedicated instances and instances owned by other accounts. [13] [non-primary source needed] [14] AWS VPC is free, with users only paying for the consumption of EC2 resources ...
In computing, a distributed file system (DFS) or network file system is any file system that allows access from multiple hosts to files shared via a computer network. This makes it possible for multiple users on multiple machines to share files and storage resources.
A database shard, or simply a shard, is a horizontal partition of data in a database or search engine. Each shard may be held on a separate database server instance, to spread load. Some data in a database remains present in all shards, [a] but some appears only in a single shard. Each shard acts as the single source for this subset of data.
Shared-disk architecture is more common for cloud databases than for on-premise. [6] Historically, shared-nothing was the first architecture to be implemented on the cloud, before the advent of shared cloud storage made shared-disk possible. In practice, different layers of the database can have different architectures.
Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) provides raw block-level storage that can be attached to Amazon EC2 instances and is used by Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS). [1] It is one of the two block-storage options offered by AWS, with the other being the EC2 Instance Store. [2] Amazon EBS provides a range of options for storage performance and ...
Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is a service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that provides object storage through a web service interface. [1] [2] Amazon S3 uses the same scalable storage infrastructure that Amazon.com uses to run its e-commerce network. [3]
