Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) offers cloud-based relational database management. It’s part of Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Amazon manages its many services for businesses that pay for cloud data storage in a relational database. Relational databases are one of the most popular databases. In a relational database, as its name suggests, pieces of data are all related in some way to each other. A relational database has both a logical and a physical structure. The logical structure is how the data is organized by relationship (how the data structures all connect or have things in common, often displayed in a table), and the physical structure is where the data is actually stored in the database.
