It seems something has changed with the Elastic Beanstalk Security Group handling, tonight at UTC 00:00 the webserver lost the connection with the RDS.
I logged in to the EC2 console, everything looks good, the security group that belongs to the RDS instance has an Inbound rule that accepts MySql port to the security group that's been selected to the Elastic Beanstalk config.
When I set the RDS Security Group Inbound Rule to Anywhere the webserver and the RDS server can connect. When I add the rule back for the EB's security group the webserver can't connect to the RDS anymore.
This has been worked for years, nothing has changed, it just doesn't work anymore and I can't find the solution.
Any suggestions?

I have a RDS databse with status as Running however it is now showing in my EC2 Security Groups. The only instances showing are:
default VPC security group
Securtiy Group for Elastic Beanstalk
Elastic Beanstalk created security group
Why is the RDS database not showing in the EC2 Security Groups?
RDS settings:
enter image description here
The typical security setup would be:
A Security Group on the Amazon EC2 instances created by Elastic Beanstalk (App-SG) with adequate inbound rules for users to access the app (or perhaps from a Load Balancer -- I'll assume you have that configured correctly)
A Security Group on the Amazon RDS database (DB-SG) with an inbound rule that permits access from App-SG on the database port
That is, DB-SG should specifically reference the App-SG in its inbound rules. This will give permission for any of the EC2 instances to connect to the database.
Feel free to create new Security Groups with appropriate names and rules, then associate those Security Groups with the EC2 instances (via Elastic Beanstalk) and the database. You do not need to keep using the Default security group.
Ok, I have an application on ElasticBeanstalk and have setup an EC2 server for my database.
I've been trying to limit the connections to the database to my IP and that of the applications (EB), however all configurations I have tried have not worked.
I have tried using the security group ID - where on the security group ID used by the App had a outgoing connection to the DB and the DB security group had an incoming connection from the security group ID from the App.
Unfortunately that didn't work. And I don't know how to find the CIDR for the EB environment.
Any ideas?
Add the security group on ec2 server to allow the traffic from your home IP and elasticbeanstalk appliaction static IP.
you can find the Elasticbeanstalk application static IP from Ec2 console Or you can use the following command using amazon cli.
aws ec2 describe-instances --instance-ids <instance-id>
I created a windows machine on AWS EC2, and I wanted that only I should be able to connect from my MAC to it, using remote desktop client.
Inbound Rule is used for incoming traffic and outbound rule is used for outgoing traffic.
Since I wanted to connect using Remote Desktop, in the inbound rule of security group I selected "RDP" and then in the source I selected 'My Ip' and thus I secured my ec2 instance such that only I can access it
I am getting connection timeout from EC2 trying to connect to AWS Elasticache.
I launched a 1-node elasticache cluster
I launched an EC2 instance, made sure availability zone was the same as the cluster, us-west-2b
I did not create a new VPC. I see one is already created.
I ran a nslookup on my elasticache endpoint. It looks like a different /20 than my ec2.
I looked through the documentation and the ec2 launch and did not see where I can specify the subnet, except the availabilty zone.
I think the problem is about security groups of your instance.
To the best of my knowledge you need to allow the traffic on the security group associated to your EC2 instance.
If you are using memcached the port is 11211 if redis the port is 6379
Try to have a look to the AWS official documentation.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/UserGuide/GettingStarted.AuthorizeAccess.html
I hope this helps somehow.
Actually solution is to add security group to elasticache cluster, and this security group should allow 6379 port.
First, check the instance security group and check port 6379 is allowed in Inbound.
After that, check your default VPC security group and add inbound rule Custom TCP Rule-6379-Anywhere and save.
I hope this will fix the issue.
I have an application hosted on Amazon AWS with backend database. Web application is controlled by Elastic Load Balancer with Autoscaling. MySQL databse is on the other instance within the same zone. The problem is that connection could be established only if I add rule in MySQL security group to connect on 3306 from 0.0.0.0. or if I add individual IP address of each instance. However, if I assign "Autoscale security group" or "Load Balancer security group" it doesn't work. Isn't that supposed to work if I assign security group where instances belongs to the MySQL security group?
Thanks,
I've finally solved the issue with the help of Amazon technical support for developers. It turned out that back-end instance is only accessible through the Amazon private IP address. I was always trying to access it through it's public IP address.
AWS allows ingress between two security groups only if they are configured in the same region. For your spcific case, modify the security group settings for the Mysql server allowing in-bound 3306 port traffic from AccountId/OtherSecurityGroup e.g 111122223333/OtherSecurityGroup
I have done everything correctly till the 4th step as mentioned on this page.
http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonRDS/latest/GettingStartedGuide/ConnectToDBInstance.html
But I can not telnet nor ping to the Endpoint server mentioned. What else should I check if I want to connect to this mysql server from another AWS EC2 instance?
I guess you haven't setup RDS security group properly. Add the security group of the ec2 from which you want to access RDS, to the RDS security group for that RDS.
By default RDS security group blocks all connections.
