Amazon Relational Database Service

Mm-hmm.

Amazon RDS proxy now supports SQL Server 2022.

So ADAPT extends its RDS proxy to now cover SQL 22, which matters to anyone running a connection-heavy .NET or legacy Windows workload on a managed SQL Server.

RDS proxy now works with RDS for SQL Server 22 instances, pooling and sharing database connections to improve efficiency and application scalability.

This closes a version gap for teams that upgraded to 2022 and can no longer use the proxy.

That's a bummer.

Authentication uses the standard IAM for the app to proxy connection while the proxy uses credentials stored in AWS SQL Manager to talk to the database.

This removes the hard-coded database passwords and application code and centralizes credential management.

And then finally, actually the underlying services.

And this is where you do need to skill up a little bit if you're going to do this manually because you need to understand what is Amazon EC2 versus Amazon RDS.

These are different services.

One's compute, one's a database.

Transfer family public SFTP servers can use up to three custom ports, each set to client-first or server-first, and host keys can be stored in Secrets Manager for reuse across servers, plus web apps except SVG logos and ICO favicons.

Two updates for Amazon RDS for SQL Server.

RDS proxy supports SQL Server 2022 plus cumulative update 8 for SQL Server 2025.

OpenSearch servers can now encrypt each index with its own KMS customer-managed key.

ElastiCache Insights brings a pre-built CloudWatch dashboard to node-based Valky clusters.

When the pipeline runs, we will update, insert, and delete rows in this table and see how these changes reflect in Snowflake.

The process described above slightly differs for managed PostgreSQL services such as Amazon RDS, Aurora, Google Cloud SQL, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, Neon, and Supabase.

These providers expose logical replication via provider-specific configuration, but the concepts remain the same: logical replication, permissions, publication, and replication slot.

PostgreSQL being set up, now we can connect it to Estuary and create a capture.

and Graviton4-powered C8GB instances, built for heavy block storage workloads with up to 300 gigabits per second of EBS bandwidth, are now available in more regions.

Ruby developers on Aurora and RDS get a boost with the generally available advanced Ruby driver wrapper.

Built on the community PostgreSQL and MySQL drivers, it cuts failover and blue-green switchover times and supports Secrets Manager and IAM authentication.

Active record adapters let you enable it without code changes, and it's fully open source under the Apache 2.0 license.

So Athena, Spark, Trino, or Snowflake can query them without copies.

Manual incremental refresh recomputes only what changed, letting teams compute expensive joins once and share one governed result across every engine.

Oracle patching gets smoother on RDS.

Minor version upgrade prechecks can run on demand, flagging issues like low storage or invalid triggers in a single log without affecting your workload.
