We have reviewed this item, and it is not something we plan to implement at this time. Even though we are declining this idea for now, the comments will remain open.
I also wanted to update to state one of the reasons why this is not feasible for AVEVA. When we receive a call from a our customers, we require the ability to troubleshoot their issue - both from the perspective of the software we make and the perspective of the dependent software. Because we have no way to troubleshoot AWS RDS SQL, we cannot identify and attribute issues as effectively as if we were using MS SQL Server. This is why we require users who have chosen to implement PIFD on AWS RDS SQL to reproduce any issue they have on a standard MS SQL Server.
Can you define the items required for troubleshooting, that you can't obtain from a managed database?
You can obtain a lot of data from the managed servers (including message logs and metrics). Most companies lean toward managed databases to streamline teams.
