Which Items Occupy the Storage Space of My RDS for MariaDB 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. Binlogs generated by RDS for MariaDB instances also occupy storage space.

These files ensure the stability of RDS DB instances.
