Summary
In this chapter, we learned quite a bit about databases – such as RDS, MySQL, and Aurora. We also took a quick dive into MySQL syntax to help us better understand what commands are and what they are doing when we are in an interactive MySQL shell. We learned how to set up a database using RDS, and also learned how to create a database within the RDS database. We then learned how to brute-force databases, while also learning the severity of the effect weak passwords have on databases.
In the next chapter, you will begin using knowledge gained from this chapter and implementing it in more hands-on practice, while also building out environments in AWS.
