Amazon RDS is a managed relational database service that provides you six familiar database engines to choose from .This means that the code, applications, and tools you already use today with your existing databases can be used with Amazon RDS. Amazon RDS handles routine database tasks such as provisioning, patching, backup, recovery, failure detection, and repair.

Amazon RDS makes it easy to use replication to enhance availability and reliability for production workloads. Using the  Multi AZ deployment option, you can run mission-critical workloads with high availability and built-in automated fail-over from your primary database to a synchronously replicated secondary database.
