Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) is a collection of managed services that makes it simple to set up, operate, and scale databases in the cloud
🚀 Task-01
Create a Free tier RDS instance of MySQL
Go to the AWS Management Console and navigate to the Amazon RDS service.
Click on "Create database" and select "MySQL" as the engine.
Choose the "Free tier" template or select the desired instance type and configuration.
Configure the database settings, such as DB instance identifier, master username, and password.
Configure additional settings like storage, VPC, security group, etc., as per your requirements.
Launch the RDS instance and wait for it to be created and in the "available" state.
Create an EC2 instance
Create an IAM role with RDS access
Go to the AWS Management Console and navigate to the IAM service.
Review the role details and click on "Create role".
Assign the role to EC2 so that your EC2 Instance can connect with RDS
Once the RDS instance is up and running, get the credentials and connect your EC2 instance using a MySQL client.
mysql -h <RDS hostname> -u <master username> -p
Hint:
You should install mysql client on EC2, and connect the Host and Port of RDS with this client.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mysql-server
sudo service mysql start
sudo service mysql status
Post the screenshots once your EC2 instance can connect a MySQL server, that will be a small win for you.
Watch this video for reference.
