Is Jiwa supported to be run under AWS and RDS?

No. That's not to say it won't work though.

Also just be aware our next release (7.3 and the dev builds preceding that - 7.2.2 onwards) leverage contained database authentication, which requires SQL 2012 or later (previously SQL 2008R2 was supported) - so whatever version of MSSQL which Amazon's RDS for MSSQL uses needs to be SQL 2012 or later.

See below, straight out of AWS documentation.

Hi,
Just wondering if there has been a change to Jiwa being supported on RDS?

As far as I know it's still not supported but as Scott said may work, the trick from having worked with Azure SQL is you need to make sure the requisite users JiwaLogin, JiwaUser and JiwaReports are created on the server with appropriate passwords.

The other thing is any databases regardless of being Jiwa ones also need to have these users as there was a bug related to this that I'm not sure has been fixed yet which causes issues with creating a connection.

Scott/Mike,
Any potential change to this in the future given that Amazon are starting to make a push into the Australian SME market.

Hi Nina,

We think there may be nothing to do - but can't say for sure until someone spends the time to try.

I've logged DEV-8683 to verify that Jiwa does work ok with AWS RDS.
