Database encryption

I've been looking into some new hosting options for my business website and I saw that Vapor has an option for encrypting the database. I'm aware that it is relying on AWS to actually encrypt the database but I'd like to find out more. Does anyone have some good resources for how Vapor/AWS does database encryption other than the AWS docs (which I've already read)?

By encryption you are talking about safe communication with the database and not encrypting the data stored in the database right? If so then you can Google to see how safe communication works between servers and clients.
