Starting today, you have the option to automatically set up connectivity between an existing HAQM Relational Database Services (HAQM RDS) or HAQM Aurora database and an HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2) compute instance. From the HAQM RDS console, you can choose an action to set up connection between your RDS or Aurora database and an EC2 instance. HAQM RDS automatically sets up your related network settings to enable a secure connection between the EC2 instance and the RDS database.
This automation eliminates additional manual networking tasks such as setting up a VPC, security groups, subnets, and ingress/egress rules 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 console in the HAQM RDS User Guide and the HAQM Aurora User Guide.
