Instance list management

Database Workshop (DBW) supports the connection to RDS for SQL Server instances. This topic describes how to view the status, primary node availability zone, instance type, instance specification, and read-only instance details for the target instance on the instance list page of the DBW console.

Prerequisites

An instance has been created and the instance state is Running. For detailed steps, see Creating an instance.

Precautions

DBW currently supports SQL Server 2019/2022 Standard Edition, SQL Server 2019/2022 Web Edition, and SQL Server 2019/2022 Enterprise Edition instances.
