rds
AWS RDS relational database service for managed databases. Use when provisioning databases, configuring backups, managing replicas, troubleshooting connectivity, or optimizing performance.
npx skills add itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills --skill rds --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# AWS RDS Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) provides managed relational databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Oracle, SQL Server, and Aurora. RDS handles provisioning, patching, backups, and failover. ## Table of Contents - [Core Concepts](#core-concepts) - [Common Patterns](#common-patterns) - [CLI Reference](#cli-reference) - [Best Practices](#best-practices) - [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) - [References](#references) ## Core Concepts ### DB Instance Classes | Category | Example | Use Case | |----------|---------|----------| | Standard | db.m6g.large | General purpose | | Memory Optimized | db.r6g.large | High memory workloads | | Burstable | db.t3.medium | Variable workloads, dev/test | ### Storage Types | Type | IOPS | Use Case | |------|------|----------| | gp3 | 3,000-16,000 | Most workloads | | io1/io2 | Up to 256,000 | High-performance OLTP | | magnetic | N/A | Legacy, avoid | ### Multi-AZ Deployments - **Multi-AZ Instance**: Synchronous standby in different AZ - **Multi-AZ Cluster**: One writer, two reader instances (Aurora-like) ### Read Replicas Asynchronous copies for read scaling.

What does the rds skill do?
AWS RDS relational database service for managed databases. Use when provisioning databases, configuring backups, managing replicas, troubleshooting connectivity, or optimizing performance.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills --skill rds --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills, a repository with 1,139 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
