Amazon会使用EC2（Elastic Compute Cloud）实例来支持其RDS（Relational Database Service）等服务。EC2实例是云中可扩展计算容量的服务。Amazon会根据需要启动、配置和管理这些EC2实例以支持RDS和类似服务。以下是一个示例代码，展示了如何使用Amazon Web Services SDK for Java启动一个EC2实例：

import com.amazonaws.auth.AWSCredentials;
import com.amazonaws.auth.AWSStaticCredentialsProvider;
import com.amazonaws.auth.BasicAWSCredentials;
import com.amazonaws.services.ec2.AmazonEC2;
import com.amazonaws.services.ec2.AmazonEC2ClientBuilder;
import com.amazonaws.services.ec2.model.RunInstancesRequest;
import com.amazonaws.services.ec2.model.RunInstancesResult;
import com.amazonaws.services.ec2.model.InstanceType;

public class EC2Instance {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        AWSCredentials credentials = new BasicAWSCredentials("ACCESS_KEY", "SECRET_KEY");

        AmazonEC2 ec2 = AmazonEC2ClientBuilder.standard()
                .withCredentials(new AWSStaticCredentialsProvider(credentials))
                .withRegion("REGION")
                .build();

        RunInstancesRequest runInstancesRequest = new RunInstancesRequest()
                .withImageId("AMI_ID")
                .withInstanceType(InstanceType.T2Micro)
                .withMinCount(1)
                .withMaxCount(1)
                .withSecurityGroupIds("SECURITY_GROUP_ID")
                .withKeyName("KEY_NAME");

        RunInstancesResult runInstancesResult = ec2.runInstances(runInstancesRequest);

        String instanceId = runInstancesResult.getReservation().getInstances().get(0).getInstanceId();

        System.out.println("EC2 Instance ID: " + instanceId);
    }
}

该代码将使用提供的AWS凭证、地区、镜像、安全组和SSH密钥对来启动一个T2 Micro EC2实例。对于RDS和类似服务，Amazon会根据需要启动和管理EC2实例，以确保服务的高可用性和灵活性。
