Du kan også bruge Amazon RDS (deres version af MySQL i skyen) og kom helt ud af driften af en MySQL-servervirksomhed (du betaler lidt mere pr. serverforekomst, men du kan lave databasesnapshots/osv.).
Amazon RDS understøtter i øjeblikket fem DB-instansklasser, startende ved 11 cents i timen og går helt op til $3,10 i timen:
* Small DB Instance: 1.7 GB memory, 1 ECU (1 virtual core with 1 ECU), 64-bit platform.
* Large DB Instance: 7.5 GB memory, 4 ECUs (2 virtual cores with 2 ECUs each), 64-bit platform
* Extra Large DB Instance: 15 GB of memory, 8 ECUs (4 virtual cores with 2 ECUs each), 64-bit platform
* Double Extra Large DB Instance: 34 GB of memory, 13 ECUs (4 virtual cores with 3,25 ECUs each), 64-bit platform
* Quadruple Extra Large DB Instance: 68 GB of memory, 26 ECUs (8 virtual cores with 3.25 ECUs each), 64-bit platform
