I removed security groups from RDS but access still exists from EC2 - amazon-web-services

I removed security groups for RDS, left access only for my IP. But access from EC2(ECS Fargate) still exists. Where I do have to look in order to fix it?
UPD:
I removed security groups from Connectivity tab in RDS > Databases Modify DB instance: ****
UPD2:
I have only one group: DevGroup
with only one rule
MYSQL/Aurora TCP 3306 x.x.x.x/32 (my home IP)

The problem was that removing the security group from RDS didn't immediately affect it. After while access has gone.

Instances in the same VPC have access there is no need to configure security groups there

How to connect my Amazon Workspace with AWS RDS?

I have an Amazon Workspace running inside the Private Subnet. In the same subnets i have launched my RDS. I have give access to the Workspace security group to access the RDS inside RDS security group.
Even after all this configuration, i'm getting timedout error whenver i'm trying to connect to RDS from the workspace.
You must allow outbound access for the specific port on the security group attached to the WorkSpace and inbound access from the WorkSpace on the RDS security group (you can reference the security group IDs instead of ip-addresses).
Take also a look on the AWS Reachability Analyzer to check if everything should work. (use the network interface of your WorkSpace)

How can I connect to Amazon RDS instance from Amazon EC2 instance

I have set an Amazon EC2 instance and an Amazon RDS instance. These two instances are both available.
I tried to connect to the RDS instance from my localhost, and I succeeded:
(I'm sorry about the picture's content is in Chinese, but the content in the red border means "success".)
In a word, when I used my localhost, I can connect to the RDS instance that I just set successfully.
But when I tried to use the EC2 instance to connect the same RDS instance with oracle sqldeveloper, I CANNOT EVEN CONNECT TO IT.
The error message is:
The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
How can I solve this issue?
Update:
My Security Group is:
The security groups match the AWS EC2 instance`s PRIVATE IP.
This answer is not necessarily a fix for your situation, but rather a recommendation about how to configure a security group.
Rather than using IP addresses within a security group, it is better to refer to another security group.
The configuration would be:
EC2-SG security group: Attach this to your EC2 instance. Allow access on desired ports (eg port 80).
RDS-SG security group: Attach this to your RDS instance. Allow access from EC2-SG- on desired port (eg port 3306).
This way, the RDS-SG will permit access from any EC2 instance associated with the EC2-SG security group. This will continue to work even if IP addresses change or additional EC2 instances are launched with the same EC2-SG.

Writing to an RDS MySQL database from an EC2 instance

I have a t2.micro instance running, that is producing some data that needs to be written to a database. So, I created a RDS database with MySQL on it.
The issue I'm facing is, nonsurprisingly, getting the EC2 instance to communicate with the RDS database in any way/shape/form.
I'm been battling with it all day. I'm left with these bits of confusion:
I figured I've just add the public IP of the EC2 instance to the security group of the RDS. Turns out the RDS doesn't really have a security group, only a VPN. So how do I allow communication from the EC2 instance, then?
Speaking of security groups, do I need to se the EC2 up to require outbound connections?
The RDS has an 'endpoint' and not a public IP as far as I can tell. So I can't add it to any security group at all. Is this correct?
Am I going to have to figure out how to use Elastic Beanstalk or some other way to get these components to play together?
These are all the things I'm trying to troubleshoot but I'm not getting anywhere. There doesn't seem to be any good blogs / etc; mostly what I'm finding is stuff on how to get the RDS to be accessed by your local hardware, not an EC2 instance.
How should I set this up?
There are two ways to allow inbound connection to RDS database: CIDR/IP or EC2 security group.
You can go to VPC, at the left panel there is "Security Groups" (yes, RDS do have security group). Click that, and choose your DB security group (if you already have the RDS instance created) or create a new one.
Under connection type, choose either CIDR/IP or EC2 security group.
If you choose to go with CIDR/IP, you should know what IP address your EC2 instance is and put the address or range in e.g. "10.11.12.0/24".
If you choose to go with EC2 security group, you should know the security group nameof your EC2 instance and select it from the dropdown provided e.g. "my security group".
Please note that the EC2 instance and the RDS instance need to be able to "see" each other i.e. in the same region, VPC, subnets with proper NACL (network access control list) etc.
Speaking of outbound connection and security group, no, security groups only manage inbound connection.
Hope that helps, let me know if I can make my answer clearer.

Organizing Security Groups in AWS

I'm having an issue with Security Groups in AWS. I have 4 security groups, 2 in EC2 and 2 in RDS.
ec2-prod
ec2-test
rds-prod
rds-test
On the other hand, I have a database DEV, having the rds-test security group associated.
In the rds-test inbound rules I've added ec2-prod and ec2-test, and my IP is added into the ec2-test, but for some reason it's not working.
If I add my IP directly on rds-test I can connect to the database, but this behavior make no sense to me.
Just in case, in the ec2-test security group, my IP has permission ALL TCP.
Any ideas?
It's the normal behavior. You have to add your IP to the DB security group.
The DB security group defines the access the RDS DB.
The EC2 security group defines the access the EC2 instance.
The fact that your IP is authorized to access the instance doesn't mean your IP is authorized to access the DB (but you can connect to the DB from the instance).

Allow EC2 Security Group access from Beanstalk Security Group

I have an Amazon Beanstalk Load Balancer setup which adds / removes ec2 servers as needed. The security group for this load balancer is called prod-sc.
I also have an Amazon EC2 instance using security group elasticsearch-sc.
Now I need elasticsearch-sc to allow port 9200 to be accessed from prod-sc
However everytime I try to configure this in the elasticsearch-sc by providing the prod-sc Group ID, I get an error saying
Could not update your security group rules (No changes were made): You may not define rules between a VPC group and a non-VPC group.
How can I give prod-sc access to elasticsearch-sc?
Can you try creating elasticsearch-sc as a VPC security group?
