Amazon RDS – DB Instances



A DB instance is an isolated database environment running in the cloud which can contain multiple user-created databases. It can be accessed using the same client tools and applications used to access a standalone database instance. But there is restriction on how many DB instances of what type you can have for a single customer account. The below diagram illustrates the different combinations based on the type of license you opt for.

Each DB instance is identified by a customer supplied name called DB instance identifier. It is unique for the customer for a given AWS region.

DB Instance Classes

Depending on the need of the processing power and memory requirement, there is a variety of instance classes offered by AWS for the RDS service.

Instance Class Number of Vcpu Memory Range in GB Bandwidth Range in Mbps
Standard 1 to 64 1.7 to 256 450 to 10000
Memory Optimized 2 to 128 17.1 to 3904 500 to 14000
Burstable Performance 1 to 8 1 to 32 Low to Moderate

When there is a need of more processing power than memory requirement you can choose the standard instance class with a higher number of virtual CPUs. But in the case of very high memory requirement you can choose Memory optimized class with appropriate number of VCPUs. Choosing a correct class not only impacts the speed of the processing but also the cost of using service. The burstable performance class is needed when you have a minimal processing requirement and the data size in not in peta bytes.
