HAQM RDS Custom for SQL Server now allows you to directly join your DB instances to the domains of Microsoft Active Directory (AD). In this post, we show how to join RDS Custom DB instances to an AD for Windows Authentication. This applies to AD domains running in a self-managed environment either on premises or HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2) and AWS Managed Microsoft AD.

HAQM RDS for Oracle offers ease of operability, maintenance, scalability, and reliability while migrating Oracle workloads to AWS. The read replica in HAQM RDS for Oracle is a physical copy of the primary database that can be set up either in mounted or read-only mode. In mounted mode, the replica instance isn’t open for read operations, however in read-only mode, it allows read operations on the replica instance. During managed Oracle Data Guard Switchover with Oracle RDS for Oracle, the database role reversal takes place between the RDS for Oracle primary database and its replica. Similarly, in case of a disaster, you can promote the read replica to a standalone instance. In both scenarios, the application needs to point to the endpoint of the new primary database to establish connectivity. In this post, we provide guidance to configure the automatic reconnection of the application to a standby database during a disaster recovery incident while using replication with Oracle Data Guard using Oracle services and a TNS names connection alias.

In this post, we discuss how to determine the causes of an INCOMPATIBLE_CREATE state of an RDS Custom instance because of incorrect instance profile permissions.

HAQM RDS for Db2 is the latest addition to the HAQM RDS family of database engines. When it comes to selecting the relational database to migrate data from Db2 for z/OS, RDS for Db2 provides the best compatibility among other relational database management systems (RDBMSs) thereby minimizing the migration effort and timelines. In this post, we outline the migration methodology for converting schema and data from Db2 on z/OS to RDS for Db2.

In this post, we explore how to import pre-generated HAQM Personalize recommendations into HAQM DynamoDB.
