Some AWS RDS SQL Server limitations
– Some ports are reserved for Amazon RDS, and you can’t use them when you create a DB instance.
– Amazon RDS for SQL Server doesn’t support importing data into the msdb database.
– You can’t rename databases on a DB instance in a SQL Server Multi-AZ deployment.
– AWS RDS doesn’t support Data Quality Services and Master Data Services on the same RDS service, need to spin up an EC2 and run services form another server
