What is the difference between RDS and Aurora?

Unlike Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, where high write workloads can severely impact replication, Aurora uses shared storage for writer and readers. As a result, all Aurora replicas are synced with the writer instance with minimal replica lag. The lag can be different for different replicas.

Connecting to your RDS Custom DB instance using RDP. After you create your RDS Custom DB instance, you can connect to this instance using an RDP client. The procedure is the same as for connecting to an Amazon EC2 instance. For more information, see Connect to your Windows instance.

Does Aurora require VPC?

One common Amazon Aurora scenario is to have a VPC in which you have an EC2 instance with a public-facing web application and a DB instance with a database that is not publicly accessible. For example, you can create a VPC that has a public subnet and a private subnet.

There is no local Aurora. Either use MySQL or have your devs connect to an Aurora instance for developing. You should have a test environment on AWS that would reveal any issues before you deploy to prod anyway.

Overview

The following diagram, shows the high-level architecture of an example scenario of using AWS Client VPN and connecting to an RDS instance.

Generating a certificate

For instructions on creating a server certificate using OpenVPN easy-rsa tool, see Mutual authentication.

Creating a VPC and subnets

Create a VPC to host the subnets and the subnet group for the RDS instance with the following code:

Creating a security group

Create a security group to be used by the AWS Client VPN endpoint and the RDS instance with the following code:

Creating an AWS Client VPN endpoint

Create an AWS Client VPN endpoint and attach it to the VPC with the following code. You use the client IP4 CIDR to assign IP addresses to the client connections. Use your own server certificate arn generated in the previous step.

Creating an Active directory

Because the SQL Server RDS instance also uses Windows authentication, create an Active Directory to be associated to the RDS instance:

Creating the SQL Server RDS instance

To create an RDS instance, you need to create a subnet group and a directory service AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role. This IAM role uses the managed IAM policy AmazonRDSDirectoryServiceAccess and allows Amazon RDS to make calls to the active directory.

Set Publicly Accessible setting of DB instance to Yes

The Publicly Accessible setting for an Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) DB instance controls the assignment of a Public IP address to the DB instance.

Run DB instance in a public subnet

A public subnet is a subnet that is associated with a route table which has a route to internet gateway, typically the default route, 0.0.0.0/0. This route enables the DB instances in a subnet to communicate with resources outside the VPC.

Secure the DB cluster from connections from outside the VPC

You can use TLS to encrypt connections that come from outside a VPC because the data transfer happens over the internet. To make sure that you're using the highest level of security, use the ssl-ca parameter to pass the CA certificate, and then enable hostname validation.

Step 2

Scroll to the “ Details ” section then find the “ Security groups ” and click on the active security group link. This will directly redirect you to the security group you need to whitelist the IP address at.

Step 3

Make sure the security group that belongs to your RDS database is selected/highlighted. If you are not sure which one it is, you can match them by the VPC ID (in this case it’s the one ending in 0bc0) or the GROUP IP (ending in 6cbf ).

Step 4

Click on “ Inbound ” at the bottom (you can also right click the highlighted item and click “ Edit inbound rules ”). Then click “Edit”.

Step 5

In this last step you will just need to select the port to whitelist. If you are using the default MySQL port then selecting the “ MYSQL/Aurora ” option works. If you are using a custom port for your database, then under the “ Type ” dropdown select “ Custom TCP Rule ” and type the port number in the “ Port Range ” field.

Step 6

Under the “ Source ” we finally add the IP address or IP range we need to whitelist. Note: The IP addresses you enter here must be not he range format, which means that you need to append /32 to the end of your IP address.

How to make RDS cluster remotely available?

If you want to make the RDS cluster remotely available, we need to attach an IGW (Internet Gateway) to the VPC. If you don’t, it isn’t able to communicate with the outside world.  To do that, go to VPC -> Internet gateways and hit “Create Internet Gateway”:

Can I enable remote access to Amazon RDS?

It’s easy to enable Amazon RDS remote access when launching an Amazon RDS instance, but there can be many issues. I created this blog as a guide describing the various issues/configurations we might encounter.

Does AWS have an inbound rule?

As we can see here, AWS only created the inbound rule for my current IP address, which means once we change IPs or try to connect from another server, it will fail.

Is MongoDB a trademark?

MySQL, InnoDB, MariaDB and MongoDB are trademarks of their respective owners. Proudly running Percona Server for MySQL

Fedora Linux

Now we can connect to the AWS RDS mysql server using the mysql command: $ mysql -u {USER_NAME} -h {AWS_RDS_HOST_NAME} -P {MYSQL_PORT} -p For instance: $ mysql -u masteruser -h mysql–instance1.134342.us-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com -P 3306 -p

Step 1: Create a new database

In most cases, you need to create a new database. However, skip this step if you have existing MySQL databases on RDS. Let us create a new MySQL database called blog: mysql> CREATE DATABASE blog; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

Step 2: Create a new MySQL user account on AWS RDS

Any client/server users can connect to AWS RDS when the client hostname part set to ‘ % ‘. Hence, we can replace ‘ % ‘ with the actual EC2/Lightsail server’s IP address or VPC subnet for better security. For example:

Step 3: Grant privileges to a MySQL user account

So far, so good. However, the mysql account set up with minimum or zero (no) database privileges. Here is a list of standard privileges:

Step 4: Test it

Simply run the following command from another EC2 instance: $ mysql -u sai -h mysql–instance1.134342.us-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com -P 3306 -p salesstats

Step 5: Revoke privileges from a AWS RDS MySQL user account

The REVOKE SQL statement allows sysadmins to revoke privileges and roles. The syntax is:

Step 6: Delete AWS RDS MySQL user account

To remove AWS RDS MySQL user account use the DROP sql statement as follows: mysql> DROP USER 'user'@'client_ip'; mysql> DROP USER 'sai'@'%'; See how to delete or remove a MySQL/MariaDB user account for further information.
