As a longtime supporter of Remote Desktop Service in Windows, seeing AWS RDS took a while to get used to.

They could have named WorkSpace as Remote Desktop Service, which it is. Instead, many of my co-workers think AWS means only Amazon WorkSpace.

Amazon Relational Database Amazon Keystore Amazon Warehouse Database Amazon Analytics Database

I agree these would be much more descriptive.

RDS doesn't scream DB at me.
