   4  Discusses using Amazon RDS as a database.

   6  Overview
   7  ========
   8  
   9  Phabricator works with Amazon RDS. However, most of our documentation and setup
  10  checks assume you are using local MySQL, and upstream support is less available
  11  for RDS.
  12  
  13  If you use RDS, you'll need to do a few things a bit differently than you would
  14  with local MySQL, especially when configuring RDS. This document documents some
  15  of the differences you'll encounter when using RDS.
  16  
  17  Configuration
  18  =============
  19  
  20  The documentation and various setup warnings will sometimes direct you to make
  21  configuration changes in `my.cnf`. In Amazon RDS, you don't have direct access
  22  to `my.cnf` and thus can not make these changes in the configuration file.
  23  
  24  Instead, you can use [[ http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_WorkingWithParamGroups.html | DB Parameter Groups ]].
  25  You can access these from your AWS console and use the web interface to make
  26  necessary changes. The web UI will give you a user-friendly key-value table:
  27  just identify the option you need to change, then select a new value for it.
