Sql-server – Database Mail on Amazon RDS / SQL Server

amazon-rdsdatabase-mailsql server

Since Database Mail is not supported on Amazon RDS with SQL Server, can anyone offer any suggestions on how to send e-mail notifications for failed SQL Server jobs in Amazon RDS?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or workarounds.

AWS has posted a detailed blog post based on the way that UnderArmor solves this limitation. It involves a linked SQL Server that you run in EC2 and that EC2 instance is configured to SES to relay the messages through.
