Why creating a RDS in AWS take much longer than EC2 or kubernetes helm?

0

My friend and I notice that it often take 5 to 10 minutes to create a DB in AWS RDS, while only about 1 minute for launching a new EC2, or install mysql using Helm in a Kubernetes. Does anyone help to explain this?

RDS is a managed, multi-tenant service. Creating a RDS instance is not the same as creating an EC2 instance and deploying a software package to it. There's lot of other moving parts within the service which are designed to make it easier for AWS to manage at scale (for many customers) and simultaneously make it easier for you to use because you don't have to worry about all of those moving parts.

  • and those parts are hidden and not disclosed to users, right? I mean how the management part is installed, and how long does it take.

  • Correct. We generally don't disclose how a service operates because that gives us the flexibility to change components to deliver a better customer experience.
