Which Items Occupy the Storage Space of My RDS for SQL Server Instance?

Both your regular data (backup data not included) and the data required for the operation of your DB instance (such as system database data, rollback logs, redo logs, and indexes) take up the storage space on your DB instance. The storage space includes the file system overhead required for inode, reserved blocks, and database operations. Log files required for RDS for SQL Server instances, including database logs, default trace files, and agent log files, also occupy storage space.

These files ensure the stability of RDS for SQL Server instances.
