Amazon RDS allocated Space unclear -
i trying setup amazon rds. during db instance setup don't understand meaning of "allocated storage" ? max allocated storage sql server 1024 gb. mean if db uses 1024 gb space run of space?
is rds right selection unlimited sql server info storage?
thanks
allocated storage means amount of disk space database instance drive has been configured.
yes if db uses 1024 gb space run out of space
sql server on rds has limits ( rds variants - mysql, postgre, oracle have space limits). in case of sql server 1024 gb. if need more that, may need setup own sql server cluster on ec2 attaching several ebs volumes , configuring , monitoring db's health
ps :
for non-sql server instances can start small, allocate 50gb , info size grows can increment allocated space. can increment storage , cannot decrease size. point in involvement of cost.
for sql server, can not alter allocation size 1 time has been set. stated amazon @ time of writing (4th nov 2014):
scaling storage after launching db instance not supported sql server. may want provision storage based on anticipated future storage growth.
if info volumes high, seek , see if can create utilize of s3 - simple storage service amazon web services. s3 means virtually unlimited storage can store binary info ( blob ). may mix , match s3 , rds putting bulky info in s3 , having url in rds. amazon-web-services amazon-ec2 sql-server-2008-r2 amazon
