Amazon RDS for MySQL

MySQL is the world's most popular open source relational database and Amazon RDS makes it easier to set up, operate, and scale MySQL deployments in the cloud. With Amazon RDS, you can deploy **scalable MySQL servers **in minutes with cost-efficient and resizable hardware capacity.

Amazon RDS for MySQL frees you up to focus on application development by managing time-consuming database administration tasks, including backups, upgrades, software patching, performance improvements, monitoring, scaling, and replication.

Amazon RDS supports MySQL Community Edition versions 5.7 and 8.0 which means that the code, applications, and tools you already use today can be used with Amazon RDS.

Easy, managed deployments

It takes only a few clicks in the AWS Management Console to launch and connect to a production-ready MySQL database in minutes. Amazon RDS for MySQL database instances are pre-configured with parameters and settings for the server type you have selected. Database parameter groups provide granular control and fine-tuning of your MySQL database. When you need to make a database update, Amazon RDS Blue/Green Deployments are designed to make them safer, simpler, and faster.
