For each SQLRDS service level there is a predefined list of management and support tasks that are covered by DBInsight DBAs. As you might expect, for the lower service levels the customer assumes more responsibilities, as the service level increases, more responsibilities are assigned to the DBInsight DBAs.
The table below outlines the responsibilities of DBInsight and the customer per SQLRDS service level.
