# Getting Started with Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL

To protect Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, begin by selecting the appropriate deployment model — Use hosted infrastructure or Use your access nodes for backup — based on your architectural and operational requirements. Then verify that the necessary prerequisites and permissions are in place before configuring protection and validating the configuration with a test backup and restore.

Note

The cloud account for a cloud database instance cannot be modified after the instance is created. Deleting a cloud account or hypervisor permanently deconfigures all associated cloud database instances. Deleting a server from (Manage > Infrastructure > Servers) permanently removes all associated cloud database instances. Before deleting a cloud account, hypervisor, or server, ensure that you understand the impact on dependent resources and retain any required backup data.
