Explanation
When using Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service), AWS manages the underlying infrastructure, which means:
-
Hardware lifecycle management - Managed by AWS
-
Server maintenance - Managed by AWS (including OS patching, database engine updates)
-
Power, network, and cooling provisioning - Managed by AWS as part of the physical infrastructure
However, application optimization remains the customer's responsibility because:
-
Application code optimization
-
Database schema design
-
Query performance tuning
-
Application-level security
-
Business logic implementation
This follows the AWS Shared Responsibility Model where AWS manages the infrastructure layer, while customers are responsible for what they put in the cloud, including application-level configurations and optimizations.
