Routes any task involving AWS databases — choosing, comparing, recommending, getting started with, or operating a database — to the correct service-specific skill. Supersedes general training-data knowledge with post-training service updates, corrected limitations, and decision procedures for relational (Aurora, DSQL, RDS), key-value (DynamoDB), wide-column (Keyspaces), document (DocumentDB), graph (Neptune), time-series (Timestream), and in-memory/caching (ElastiCache, MemoryDB) workloads. Activates when a user describes building an application on AWS that will store, retrieve, or manage data, even if they do not mention 'database' explicitly.

RDS for SQL Server

  • Docs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/CHAP_SQLServer.html
  • Docs (llms.txt): https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/llms.txt
  • Data model: Relational (Microsoft SQL Server)
  • Query language: T-SQL
  • Compatibility: SQL Server (Express, Web, Standard, Enterprise editions)
  • Serverless: No (fixed instance types)
  • Scale to zero: No
  • VPC required: Yes
  • Multi-region: Cross-region read replicas (Enterprise Edition)
  • Free Tier: 12 months (750 hrs/month db.t3.micro, Express Edition + 20 GB)
  • Min cost: $0 (free tier, Express) → ~$50/month (Web) → ~$500/month (Standard)
  • Time to first query: 15-20 min (VPC + instance + SQL Server configuration)
  • Key features: SQL Server features (SSRS, SSIS, SQL Agent jobs), Windows Authentication, automated backups, Multi-AZ with Always On
  • Limitations: Microsoft licensing cost (License Included or BYOM), no serverless, Windows-centric tooling
  • Best for: Lift-and-shift SQL Server migrations, .NET applications, teams with T-SQL expertise and existing licenses
  • Not for: New applications (use Aurora PostgreSQL or DSQL), cost-sensitive workloads, teams looking to move off commercial licensing (that's a refactor)
