The self-managed vs. AWS-managed decision
Self-managed database
You have full responsibility for
upgrades and backup
You have full responsibility for security
Full control over parameters of server,
OS, and database
Replication is expensive, complex,
and requires a lot of engineering
AWS-managed database
AWS provides upgrades, backup, and
failover as a service
AWS provides high infrastructure
security, certifications; gives you tools
to ensure DB security
Database is a managed appliance, so
you can easily automate
AWS provides failover as a packaged
service
