Paul Gottschling 127184f0a8 Break up /database-access/guides/ (#38574)
* Break up /database-access/guides/

Closes #17641

Organize the guides to enrolling databases in specific cloud providers
(or self-hosted databases) into separate subsections of the "Database
Actions" section, organized by cloud provider (or self-hosted).

We can later add general information to the index page of each
subsection about how Teleport database access works for each cloud
provider. The remaining guides in the "Guides" subsection have to do
with database-agnostic functionality of the Teleport Database Service.

This change also adds a redirect for each page it moves.

* Respond to greedy52 feedback

- In the "Database Access" intro page, move the self-hosted section
  first in the list of links to database-specific guides so it's less
  easy to miss.
- Change "AWS" to "Amazon" in product names.

* Fix linter issues

* Remove redirects added by the DB guide reorg

This prevents us from running into Vercel route limit issues, since the
number of redirects is large.

title: Database Access
description: Teleport database access introduction, demo and resources.
---
Teleport can provide secure connections to your databases while improving both
access control and visibility.
Some of the things you can do with database access:
- Enable users to retrieve short-lived database certificates using a Single Sign-On
flow, thus maintaining their organization-wide identity.
- Configure role-based access controls for databases and implement custom
[Access Request](../access-controls/access-requests.mdx) workflows.
- Capture database activity in the Teleport audit log.
## Demo
Let's connect to a PostgreSQL server with `psql` and pgAdmin 4 after authenticating
with GitHub, execute a few SQL queries and observe them in the audit log:

## Get started
- [Getting started](./getting-started.mdx): Connect Aurora PostgreSQL in a 10
minute guide.
## Connect your database
Learn how to set up secure access to databases in your infrastructure.
- [Self-hosted](./enroll-self-hosted-databases.mdx) databases, regardless of
cloud provider
- Managed [Amazon Web Services](./enroll-aws-databases.mdx) databases
- Managed [Google Cloud](./enroll-google-cloud-databases.mdx) databases
- Managed [Microsoft Azure](./enroll-azure-databases.mdx) databases
- [Database-specific cloud platforms](./enroll-managed-databases.mdx) such as
Snowflake and MongoDB Atlas
## Manage the Teleport Database Service
The Teleport Database Service proxies connections to databases protected by
Teleport. Read more about deploying the Teleport Database Service and
enrolling databases:
- [High Availability](./guides/ha.mdx): Learn how to deploy
multiple instances of the Teleport Database Service to proxy the same set of
databases.
- [Dynamic Registration](./guides/dynamic-registration.mdx): Learn how to enroll
databases without re-deploying the Teleport Database Service.
## Learn more
To learn more about configuring role-based access control for database access,
check out the [RBAC](./rbac.mdx) section.
Learn how to configure [automatic user
provisioning](./auto-user-provisioning.mdx), which removes the need for creating
individual user accounts in advance or using the same set of shared database
accounts for all users.
The [Architecture](./architecture.mdx) section provides a more in-depth look at
Teleport Database Service internals such as networking and security.
See [Reference](./reference.mdx) for an overview of
database access-related configuration and CLI commands.
If you hit any issues, check out the [Troubleshooting
documentation](./troubleshooting.mdx) for common problems and solutions.
