<h1 class="topictitle1">DB Instance Types</h1>
<div id="body1536225136020"><p id="rds_01_0016__p189931623204119">The smallest management unit of RDS is the DB instance. A DB instance is an isolated database environment on the cloud. Each DB instance can contain multiple user-created databases, and you can access a DB instance using the same tools and applications that you use with a stand-alone DB instance. You can create and modify DB instances using the management console or APIs. <span id="rds_01_0016__text477383718488">RDS</span> does not have limits on the number of running DB instances. Each DB instance has a DB instance identifier.</p>
