Amazon RDS enhancements for SQL Server Developer Edition

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for SQL Server now supports Additional Storage Volumes, Resource Governor, and SQL Server 2019 with SQL Server Developer Edition. SQL Server Developer Edition is an ideal choice to build and test applications because it includes all the functionality of Enterprise edition, and is free of license charges for use as a development and test system, not as production server.

You can use Additional Storage Volumes to your Amazon RDS for SQL Server Developer Edition instances, which provide you up to 256 TiB, 4X more storage. You can also use SQL Server Resource Governor, which lets you manage workload and resource consumption by defining resource pools and workload groups to control CPU and memory usage, enabling more realistic performance testing. Amazon RDS for SQL Server Developer Edition now also supports SQL Server 2019 (CU32 GDR - 15.0.4455.2), so you can match the SQL Server version used in your development and testing environments with what you use for your production environment.
