RDS Parameter Group

An Amazon RDS DB parameter group is a container for engine configuration values that determine how a database instance or cluster behaves. By attaching a parameter group to one or more RDS resources you override the engine’s built-in defaults with your own settings, allowing you to tune performance, security and operational behaviour. Changes made to the group are propagated to every associated instance; static parameters take effect after the next reboot, while dynamic parameters may apply immediately.
For a full explanation see the official AWS documentation: Working with DB parameter groups.
