AWS RDS

What it does

This skill provides step-by-step instructions and examples to provision, configure, and manage Amazon RDS databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, SQL Server). It covers subnet groups, Multi-AZ deployments, read replicas, snapshots/PITR, parameter groups, monitoring, and Terraform examples for IaC.

When to use it

Use when deploying managed relational databases on AWS, setting up high-availability or read-scaling architectures, performing migrations from self-managed DBs to RDS, or automating backups and monitoring. The skill is suitable for production migrations and day-2 operations where safety checks and IAM permissions are required.

What's included

• Scripts: AWS CLI commands and Terraform examples embedded in the SKILL.md body
• References: troubleshooting tables, parameter and monitoring recipes, and Terraform snippets included in the documentation
• Instructions: prerequisites, subnet-group creation, instance creation, monitoring alarm setup, snapshot and restore procedures, and recovery guidance are all documented.
