Security protection
ApsaraDB RDS protects your data through multiple layers of security controls, including but not limited to the following areas: network access, storage encryption, and disaster recovery.
Network security
Control who can connect to your instance and how that connection is secured:
Configure an IP address whitelist for an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance — restrict access to trusted IP addresses
Change the network type of an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance — isolate your instance in a VPC or switch between network types
Configure SSL encryption on an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance — encrypt data in transit between your application and the instance
Storage security
Protect data at rest and ensure it can be recovered when needed:
Configure transparent data encryption (TDE) — encrypt data files at the storage level
Enable automatic backups for an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance — schedule regular backups to protect against data loss
Disaster recovery
Keep your service running and your data intact across infrastructure failures:
Migrate an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance across zones in the same region — move your instance to a different zone
Create a disaster recovery ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance — set up a secondary instance for failover
