The document discusses databases in the cloud and their advantages. It describes various data store options including relational databases like SQL Server and MySQL, NoSQL databases like Cassandra and MongoDB, and managed services like Amazon RDS and SimpleDB. It explains how these database solutions provide flexibility, scalability, fault tolerance, and are available on demand in the cloud.
