Is there a way to check the specs (i.e aws rds describe-db-instances) of a multi-az RDS failover instance?
I understand that the instance is inaccessible, but yet is it possible? I see the documentation for describe-db-clusters, but the instance is not listed there

I want to deploy my full stack application using AWS EKS, with the backend pod connected to the databases(MongoDB hosted on AWS managed service) outside of the cluster. If the EKS cluster and the databases are in same VPC, how should I configure the pod to connect exterbal database but within same VPC.
We're going to need a bit more details, but see if this blog gives you an idea about how to accomplish this.
I am creating a python script to create read replica. Here is the code i wrote.
import boto3
def lambda_handler(event, context):
client= boto3.client('rds')
client.create_db_instance_read_replica(
DBInstanceIdentifier='database-replica',
SourceDBInstanceIdentifier='database-1',
)
I am getting this error:
errorMessage": "Connect timeout on endpoint URL: \"https://rds.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/\""
I have configured all the IAM roles that i think i needed. Can any one have experience with similar problem.
To access private Amazon VPC resources, such as a Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) DB instance or Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, associate your Lambda function in an Amazon VPC with one or more private subnets.
To grant internet access to your function, its associated VPC must have a NAT gateway (or NAT instance) in a public subnet.
And ensure your RDS Security Group has a self-reference. [means attaching its own Security Group to itself]

I've created an Aurora MySQL serverless db cluster in AWS and I want to connect to it from my computer using mySQL Workbench. I've entered the endpoint as well as master user and password, however when I try to connect , it hangs for about one minute and then it says that cannot connect (no further info is given).
Also trying to ping the endpoint, it resolves the name but don't get any answer.
I've read all the documentation from AWS but I really cannot find how to connect. In the vpc security group I've enabled all inbound and outbound traffic on all ports and protocols. The AWS doc says to enable public access in DB settings but I cannot find such an option.
You can't give an Amazon Aurora Serverless V1 DB cluster a public IP address. You can access an Aurora Serverless V1 DB cluster only from within a virtual private cloud (VPC), based on the Amazon VPC service. For Aurora Serverless V2 you can make a cluster public. Make sure you have the proper ingress rules set up and enable public access in database configuration. For more information, see Using Amazon Aurora Serverless.

I have created a MySQL RDS instance on AWS under free-tier. I can access the Database with endpoint and username password on MySQL workbench software to upload my schema and even on localhost I can fetch data from DB on my local page running on xampp.
But when I try to fetch it from another machine it couldn't be accessed.
I tried lost of other systems.
As I'm new to AWS I wanted to know that if free-tier RDS instance will be only accessing from my system or AM I missing something like any settings like inbound and outbound rules?
Let me tell you guys I want to use it for collage project.
Head over to your rds instance and take note of the security group ID. In the ec2 menu you can set inbound and outbound rules for that security group.
I'm currently using Cloud Formation to deploy a stack where I deploy, among other things:
A VPC
A Subnet inside the created VPC
An EC2 Instance inside the created Subnet
A RDS Postgres database
At first I couldn't connect to the DBInstance because it didn't have a properly configured SecurityGroup.
When I tried to create the SecurityGroup, the deploy failed because the DBInstance and the SecurityGroup were being created on different VPCs.
But I can't find a property on any RDS related resource on Cloud Formation to adjust in which VPC is my database going to be created. Searching around, I've found the alternative of creating a DBSubnetGroup.
But in order to use a DBSubnetGroup, I need to have at least two subnets (because it needs to cover at least 2 Availability Zones). I wish to avoid creating an empty subnet on another AZ just to make this work.
Is there a better alternative? What's the easiest way to give my EC2 instances access to my DBInstance using only Cloud Formation?
If you don't want to go with the DBSubnetGroup way, the only possibility of creating RDS instance is to use Default VPC. If you do not specify DBSubnetGroup, your RDS Instance will be created in the default VPC.
Now there are two ways for your EC2 instance to access the RDS Instance.
Let your RDS Instance be publicly accessible. Ensure that you have tight SecurityGroup configurations to deny possibility of attacks. Then EC2 instance should be able to access the database instance.
Mark publicly accessible as false. Connect the Default VPC with the VPC which you have created using VPC Peering Connections. I recommend this way as your RDS instance will not be publicly accessible and you get your job done.
On top of this, you have mentioned
But in order to use a DBSubnetGroup, I need to have at least two subnets (because it needs to cover at least 2 Availability Zones). I wish to avoid creating an empty subnet on another AZ just to make this work.
RDS doesn't work that way. When you specify MultiAZ = true and have DBSubnetGroup, in your RDS template, a replica for your DBInstance will be maintained in another subnet that is available in different AZ. When your primary node goes down, this replica node comes up and acts as the master. Keeping this in mind, I would strongly recommend you to use DBSubnetGroup when creating RDS instance.
