Sure, but I think most people use RDS specifically to not have to deal with the ops of maintaining a highly available, fault tolerant, snapshotted, clonable, backed by infinite block storage service. A single ec2 instance won’t fly for any company that wants to exist when an availability zone takes a nap or a developer fat fingers the wrong command in a prod psql session.
