Optimize Costs and Improve Scalability on RDS for SQL Server and Oracle

Learn how to optimize costs and improve scalability for Amazon RDS SQL Server and Oracle databases through two key features introduced at AWS re:Invent. Explore the newly launched additional storage volumes feature that addresses customer requirements for increased storage capacity and greater flexibility in distributing databases and database files on RDS instances. Discover how to create an RDS instance with multiple storage volumes, modify existing instances to add or remove storage volumes, create new files in additional storage volumes, move files between volumes, and delete storage volumes that are no longer needed. Master cost optimization strategies by leveraging the newly launched SQL Server Developer Edition on Amazon RDS, which provides all Enterprise Edition functionality free of charge for development and test systems. Understand the process of building a Custom Engine Version as a prerequisite for using Developer Edition, learn to create RDS SQL Server instances running Developer Edition, and practice backing up databases on Enterprise Edition and restoring them onto Developer Edition environments.
