Why do we need RDS CALs?
RDS is a service that allows you to store your data in the cloud and access it from anywhere. The service is free for up to 50 GB of storage, but if you want more than that then you have to pay.
If you’re using Amazon Web Services (AWS) as your cloud provider then you can use their Simple Storage Service (S3). This will allow you to upload files directly into S3 without having to go through an intermediary such as Google Drive or Dropbox.
If you are not using AWS as your cloud provider, then you will need to use another third-party service like Ace public cloud, which will also provide similar services cheaper. Ace public cloud offers complete setup and takes care of everything for you.
Additionally, you could use Amazon’s own SimpleDB service, but this requires you to set up your own database server. Alternatively, you could use MongoDB Atlas, which offers 1GB of free space with additional plans starting at $1 per month.
You can also use other services such as Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, which is similar to S3. It costs less than S3, but it does require you to purchase a subscription.
Once you have uploaded your data to one of these services, you can create a new bucket on the service and give it a name. If you don’t know how to do this, then you should contact your cloud provider.
Once you have created your bucket, you will need to add permissions so that only certain people can access it. To do this, you will need to create a role called “rds_access” and assign it to a user.
The next step is to create a connection string. A connection string is a piece of information that tells the RDS service where to find your data. For example, you might enter:
This would tell the service to look for your data in the ‘bucket’ named ‘mydata’.
To make things easier, you can put all of your connection strings into a file called rds_connections.json. Once you have done this, you can simply copy the contents of the file into a text editor and paste them into the RDS console.
Now that you have connected your account to the service, you can start uploading your data. [Read More - https://www.acecloudhosting.com/public-cloud-cal-license/]
