Database Engines — AWS Solutions Architect Associate Practice Questions
Amazon RDS supports multiple relational database engines, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and Amazon Aurora (MySQL-compatible and PostgreSQL-compatible). The Solutions Architect Associate exam tests awareness of which engines support specific features such as read replicas across regions, Multi-AZ standby instances, and native encryption, because these capabilities differ by engine. Selecting the correct engine in an exam scenario often depends on matching licensing constraints, compatibility requirements, or performance characteristics to the stated business need.
