What do you dislike?

You do not get SSH access to the RDS instances, so importing from a file is not really an option. Also, it is difficult to create additional superusers, as you dont have full 'root' access in the MySQL console either.

What do you like best?

I can create a MySQL database cluster with full HA and failover capability in minutes with VERY little configuration or management. This takes so much of the guesswork and management out of tuning and configuring a server to run an RDBMS

Recommendations to others considering the product

I don't stand up MySQL servers in AWS anymore. Its not worth the cost difference.

What do you dislike?

The initial implementation involved a lot of steps and switching between different services to setup RDS service was very confusing.

The instance creation also took considerably longer when compared to other services. But that might be because I chose a free API.

What do you like best?

Once implemented, it is very easy to use this for storing and accessing data.

I was trying to create a relatively large database and RDS was very useful for this. It was highly scaleable and changing the settings was very easy.

The settings can be easily changed whenever needed.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Might need a little training before one can start using this product.

The person doing the initial setup might need training for other services as well.

What do you dislike?

I don't have any dislikes as far as RDS goes, in fact, I love the service as you can tell. If I could have a capability added, it would be nice to be able to work with the database from the Linux command line instead of having to change windows, and for all I know, this might even be a feature provided by the AWS command line, but it does take a bit to get use to if you have been working on Linux servers running MySQL locally. That is the only possible complaint I can find, and I had dig for that.

RDS is one of the best services provided by RDS, and the service that I most recommend to my clients, and anyone else that asks. While RDS provides a very easy Database service to configure and manage, it has other benefits that help your overall site. Database servers are a large consumer of memory and processing capabilities, which are precious when using an EC2 server, being charged by use. Off-loading my MySql server to RDS allowed me to run my entire WordPress site (with MANY plugins) on a Micro server, which is in the Free-Tier, enabling me to literally lower my costs to $0 for EC2 while speeding up my site, and enabling me to have the ability to add more capabilities to my site with no additional EC2 instance upgrade costs.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Setup RDS right away, don't bother with trying to migrate your database in the future, as the benefits are instant and the cost benefits can be felt by any size of site
