Amazon RDS is henceforth available for PostgreSQL



This announcement means that, PostgreSQL is now available as a managed service on Amazon Web Service with up to 3TB of storage, 30,000 IOPS and support for high-availability.
Henceforth with just a few clicks in the AWS Management Console, users can deploy a PostgreSQL database in minutes with automatically configured database parameters for optimal performance.
Connectikpeople recalls that, PostgreSQL is the fourth database engine for Amazon RDS, which also supports managed MySQL, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server
deployments.
In this momentum, with Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, application developers can now take advantage of PostgreSQL as a fully managed service.
As key benefits, Connectikpeople has captured:  
  • Amazon RDS Provisioned IOPS (PIOPS) storage enables users to scale I/O operations to 30,000 IOPS per database instance, and achieve consistent, fast performance.
  • Users can deploy production PostgreSQL applications using the multi-Availability Zone deployment option, and Amazon RDS will operate a synchronous stand-by replica with an automated fail-over mechanism. Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL also supports cross-region snapshot copy operations allowing customers to keep a back-up copy in a different region from the master database for disaster recovery purposes.
  • Users can operate PostgreSQL databases in a logically isolated virtual network fully configured and controlled with strict firewall policies using Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC).
  • Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL supports PostgreSQL-specific programming language extensions such as pgSQL, Tcl and Perl.
Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL is available globally in all AWS regions. To learn more and get started with Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, visit http://aws.amazon.com/rds/postgresql/.
