Automating Amazon RDS and Aurora Recommendations via Notification using AWS Lambda, EventBridge, and SES

This article discusses how to automate Amazon RDS and Amazon Aurora recommendations through email using AWS Lambda, Amazon EventBridge, and Amazon SES. The solution retrieves recommendations periodically, processes the information, and delivers formatted reports to users via email, creating a fully automated notification system. The implementation involves tagging RDS and Aurora instances to filter recommendations by environment type, setting up Amazon SES, creating an IAM policy and role for Lambda, and configuring EventBridge schedules to invoke the Lambda function execution at defined intervals.
