Cloud Storage Platform: AWS Elastic Beanstalk

[tealise]

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has a PHP SDK for managing S3 buckets for managing file storage which will be helpful for customer images, documents, etc. Do they have an SDK for provisioning RDS instances for customer databases?

The plan is essentially this:

"Plan on running an EC2 and RDS instance for the main website which will manage subscriptions and also store the tenant details. Another scalable EC2 instance will act as the backend/api. Then obviously RDS instances for each tenant. The main website and the api will reference the initial RDS instance as their default db. The api should only require read access though, to get tenant details." - reddit.
