SQL RDS Destination Connector
The SQL RDS destination connector in DataSync lets you write extracted and transformed data into an Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) SQL Server instance. Use this connector to insert data into tables hosted on AWS RDS for reporting, analytics, and integration with downstream systems.
