Set up Nextcloud
It will take some time for your database to be provisioned. While that's happening you can move on to the next steps in the lab.
= Set up Nextcloud Administering an SQL database We're going to install a handy web application in order to get some practice setting up our database. Nextcloud has all kinds of capabilities, the most obvious one is that you can use it to share files (of any size) with specific users or make them public for anyone to access.
The ops345db RDS instance you created is called a database, which is confusing, because inside it you're going to make a '''database'''. ops345db is actually more akin to an '''RDBMS''' (Relational Database Management System). Like installing MariaDB on a linux box. It would be better called a '''database server'''. Inside the RDBMS you create what's more commonly called a database by more technical people. You can have many databases on one database server. But you cannot have any database inside another database - that just doesn't make sense, at least not with SQL databases.
