AWS documentation states that Aurora Serverless DB cannot have a public IP Address:
You can't give an Aurora Serverless DB cluster a public IP address. You can access an Aurora Serverless DB cluster only from within a virtual private cloud (VPC) based on the Amazon VPC service.
However, this confuses me as I was just able to set "Public accessibility" to "Yes". I was also able to connect to the database outside the VPC using the endpoint specified.
Am I misunderstanding the limitations (Public IP)? Or is this something that was made possible just recently?
Thank you!
The part you quoted mentions Aurora Serverless - this is different to the Aurora you are using in your picture.
Serverless is only available inside VPC as your quote states - Standard Aurora can be made publicly accessible, although generally it's better practice to restrict access to inside VPC only.

Hi I had checked the process suggested by aws guidelines videoand url link related to this issue, but unable to move RDS aurora serverless mysql database from public to private, can anyone please help me with this or at least tell me the viability of this process.
I am unable to proceed with the step in the above url : Remove the public subnets and add private subnets on your DB instance as it is saying both public subnets are in use, i thought to proceed, but later on I don't have the option to reboot the rds aurora mysql db
The links that you have shared are for RDS provisioned instances, to which RDS Aurora Serverless does not belong to.
The answer depends on the version of RDS Aurora Serverless (v1 or v2), which you have not given in your question:
RDS Aurora Serverless v1: While the cluster always lives inside a VPC, it is only reachable from within the same VPC, see the RDS Aurora documentation:
You can't give an Aurora Serverless v1 DB cluster a public IP address. You can access an Aurora Serverless v1 DB cluster only from within a VPC.
The cluster can never be public. Therefore, you cannot move it to a private subnet since it already is private.
For RDS Aurora Serverless v2, however, you can choose to have a public IP, but this is not the default option during creation. If yours doesn't have a public IP, then you don't need to move it into a private subnet.
In the documentation shows that i should can turn on the "Public Access" in RDS Aurora database but I can't see this setting.
This is the screenshot of another RDS Instance (Not Aurora)
Anyone have any idea to fix that?
Thanks!
You are using an Aurora Serverless cluster. The publicly accessible option is only available for provisioned (non-serverless) clusters. Per the note at the bottom of the page here
Note: You can't give an Amazon Aurora Serverless DB cluster a public IP address. You can access an Aurora Serverless DB cluster only
from within a virtual private cloud (VPC), based on the Amazon VPC
service. For more information, see Using Amazon Aurora Serverless.
I create an AWS Aurora database MySQL but I can only access it inside its VPC then I created an EC2 instance within the same VPC to open an SSH tunnel and it's accessible from my local machine. But Are there other ways to make it accessible outside its VPC?
Its not clear what are your criteria for accessing the Aurora outside of VPC, but generally if you want to access if from the internet, in a sense that its publicly available you would make it, well publicly available. For this you can place it in public subnet and set an option in the Aurora settings to have public IP with properly setup security groups.
Off course you do not need to make it open to the entire world, but you can limit access to it to your IP address, or a selected range of IP addresses (e.g. your company's range) through security groups.
Recent AWS blog explains how to setup public and private endpoints for Aurora:
How can I configure private and public Aurora endpoints in the Amazon RDS console?
I can able to access RDS after doing public accessible YES.
But not able to access it when public accessible NO.
I have the below set up
I used same SG and subnets of my rds.
The SG has
also in VPC NACL has below inbounds
Note:
Here in answers some of the guy giving link where I understand theoretically.
can you tell me the exact solution of how to access RDS from my local machine using ec2 or any way
You need to enable Public accessibility if you want to be able to connect to your RDS instance from outside of your VPC. Enabling public accessibility provides a DNS address which is publicly resolvable. Please refer to Working with a DB Instance in a VPC - Amazon Relational Database Service for further details.
You do not need this to be turned ON if you are only going to connect from within your VPC. Refer
to Scenarios for Accessing a DB Instance in a VPC - Amazon Relational Database Service for further details.
The latest DocumentDB documentation states that a jump host is necessary for accessing the database from outside its native VPC:
By design, you access Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility)
resources from an Amazon EC2 instance within the same Amazon VPC as
the Amazon DocumentDB resources. However, suppose that your use case
requires that you or your application access your Amazon DocumentDB
resources from outside the cluster's Amazon VPC. In that case, you can
use SSH tunneling (also known as "port forwarding") to access your
Amazon DocumentDB resources.
However, VPC sharing seems to allow multiple accounts/VPCs to share the same resources.
Is it possible to use VPC sharing to access a documentDB resource in another VPC without having to use jump hosts?
Thank you in advance for your consideration and response.
Yes.

Amazon DocumentDB clusters deployed within a VPC can be accessed directly by EC2 instances or other AWS services that are deployed in the same VPC. Additionally, Amazon DocumentDB can be accessed by EC2 instances or other AWS services in different VPCs in the same region or other regions via VPC peering.
We will get the documentation updated.
