Q: How do I set up a secure and compliant database hosting stack combining ECS and RDS? A: You can build this stack by provisioning an Alibaba Cloud Linux ECS host and configuring a backend ApsaraDB RDS instance. The solution applies MLPS 2.0 compliance baselines to the operating system while securing the database with IP whitelists, SSL encryption, and security groups to deliver a fully protected environment from OS to database layer.
