Starting today, you have the option to automatically set up connectivity from HAQM Relational Database Services (HAQM RDS) and HAQM Aurora databases to an HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2) compute instance during database creation. When provisioning a database using the HAQM RDS console, you now have the option to select an EC2 instance and with a single click establish connectivity between the database and the EC2 instance, following AWS recommended best practices. HAQM RDS automatically sets up your VPC and related network settings during database creation to enable a secure connection between the EC2 instance and the RDS database.
This eliminates the additional networking tasks such as setting up a VPC, security groups, subnets, and ingress/egress rules manually to establish a connection between your application and database. It improves productivity for new users and application developers who can now quickly launch a database instance and seamlessly connect to an application on a compute instance within minutes.
Learn more about setting up connectivity to a compute resource from your RDS or Aurora database in the HAQM RDS User Guide and the HAQM Aurora User Guide.
