New capabilities to optimize costs and improve scalability on Amazon RDS for SQL Server and Oracle

Managing database environments demands a balance of resource efficiency and scalability. Organizations need flexible options across their entire database lifecycle, spanning development, testing, and production workloads with diverse storage and compute requirements.

To address these needs, we’re announcing four new capabilities for Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) to help customers optimize their costs as well as improve efficiency and scalability for their Amazon RDS for Oracle and Amazon RDS for SQL Server databases. These enhancements include SQL Server Developer Edition support and expanded storage capabilities for both RDS for Oracle and RDS for SQL Server. Additionally, you can have CPU optimization options for RDS for SQL Server on M7i and R7i instances, which offer price reductions from previous generation instances and separately billed licensing fees.
