Amazon RDS Proxy Now Supports SQL Server 2022

Amazon RDS Proxy, a fully managed, highly available database proxy for Amazon RDS, now supports Amazon RDS for SQL Server instances running major version 2022. RDS Proxy improves database efficiency and application scalability by pooling and sharing established database connections.

For Amazon RDS for SQL Server Multi-AZ databases, RDS Proxy automatically connects to the standby database instance during a failure, preserving application connections and reducing failover times by up to 83%. RDS Proxy supports standard IAM authentication for SQL Server, where applications authenticate to the proxy using AWS IAM and RDS Proxy manages database connections using credentials stored in AWS Secrets Manager.

What to do

• Enable Amazon RDS Proxy for your SQL Server 2022 database on the Amazon RDS console.
• Connect your application to the RDS Proxy endpoint.
• Refer to the documentation for more details.
