Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)
RDS is a set of managed relational databases and includes database engines such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB. You have full control over the database but do not have any access to the underlying server it is hosted on. RDS handles this part and also provides monitoring on the health of the database management system. You can connect to and manage databases on RDS using the same tools that you would use on a non-RDS Oracle or SQL Server database, for example.
This is great for most standard relational database needs but can be limited for custom or complicated implementations. For analytics, this is rarely a problem.
