Recovery Point Objective (RPO)

1. Create an RDS MySQL database with automatic backups enabled
2. Once the database is available, it is fully functional and can be used for any relational workload.
3. You can connect to the database and insert a sample set of data.
4. Restore the database to a prior point in time
