Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service)is a managed database service that simplifies the setup, operation, and scaling of relational databases in the AWS Cloud. It supports several SQL-based databases, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and MariaDB, while automating common administrative tasks such as backups, patch management, and scaling. This significantly reduces the operational overhead compared to managing databases on Amazon EC2 instances, which would require manual management of the operating system, database software, backups, and maintenance.
A. Amazon EC2 instances: Incorrect, as this would involve more operational overhead, including manual management of the database server.
C. Amazon DynamoDB: Incorrect, as it is a NoSQL database service, not suitable for migrating SQL-based databases.
D. OpenSearch: Incorrect, as it is used for search and analytics workloads, not for hosting SQL-based databases.
