I have an AWS RDS MySQL in one of the Public Subnets of one of the default VPCs.
What would be the best and smooth procedure to migrate it to an RDS MySQL located in a new custom VPC in a private subnet?
Would it be possible to create a VPC peering between both VPCs and then create an RDS Standby?
Thanks!
Create a Snapshot
Restore the database, select the custom VPC in the settings.
Update the new endpoint in your applications.
(or)
You can modify the DB settings and apply it in the next maintenance window
https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/change-vpc-rds-db-instance/
This is easier: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/change-vpc-rds-db-instance/
You can go to Databases console and modify the instance's VPC in the Network & Connectivity section.

We want to move our AWS RDS database to GCP CloudSQL. We want to do this without downtime. So our approach was to set up a HA VPN tunnel and use Data Migration Service to sync everything to CloudSQL.
The RDS database is in a private subnet on the AWS side. I've successfully set up a HA VPN tunnel between this AWS private subnet and a private subnet in our GCP project.
I'm able to verify that this works because I can do the following things:
ping from an instance in GCP in the private subnet to an instance in AWS in that private subnet
ping from an instance in AWS in the private subnet to the instance in GCP
After installing MySQL on the GCP instance, I'm able to connect and query the RDS database
I'm struggling with setting up the Data Migration Service in GCP to sync the data from the RDS instance. I've chosen the CloudSQL instance to have a Private IP, not a public one. As connectivity method, I select VPC peering and select the VPC in which the GCP instance from which I'm able to contact the RDS instance resides.
I understand that CloudSQL is created in a project peered to my GCP project, and the CloudSQL instance resides in a subnet in this new project. So there is no route from this subnet to my private subnet. However, I see that it is peered automatically. In this peering connection, I checked the option to import and export custom routes, but still, I cannot reach the RDS from the CloudSQL instance.
I've got routes in GCP for the private subnet IP range of AWS, with the next hop the VPN tunnels.
I'm not sure what I need to do to connect CloudSQL to RDS on this point.
I currently have the typical setup of an RDS cluster with 1 instance running in a private subnet. I am migrating our application out of AWS and into Heroku (while leaving the DB as is), but I need to be able to connect to the DB from the Heroku dynos.
What I can't figure out is how to move the DB out of the private subnet and into a public one.
The AWS docs have instructions for moving from public to private, and I thought I could just follow them for the opposite direction too. But the process involves standing up a new secondary in the desired subnet using Multi-AZ configuration and a failover. But when I go to Modify my instance, there is no option for configuring Multi-AZ:
It seems like Aurora instances in particular do not support Multi-AZ? "Multi-AZ DB clusters are in preview for RDS for MySQL and RDS for PostgreSQL" Leaving me somewhat stuck.
Edit I did just see this message elsewhere: "You have no Aurora Replicas in your DB cluster." which might be why Multi-AZ is not available. But I'm not seeing any options to spin up a replica anywhere.
Again my goal is to get my Aurora DB into a public subnet (or otherwise make it accessible from the internet, but not through an SSH tunnel)
The Availability Zone options are in the "Availability & durability" section above "Connectivity" FYI
I just had your same issue but with a Postgres DB, though I have the option to change its "Subnet group" in the Connectivity section, which you don't have it seems, but it only appears for me if the DB is NOT currently multi-AZ. AWS will prevent you from moving the DB between subnet groups* in the same VPC, but you can just move the DB to a subnet group in a different VPC and then move it back to the subnet group that you actually want it in (configured with the appropriate public subnets).
*You can create subnet groups in the RDS service, left side menu.
Just created an VPC for EKS Cluster and started RDS PostgreSQL instance with custom VPC.
Custom VPC has Subnets.
My Custom VPC has Internet Gateway attached.
EKS and RDS is in same VPC so they have internal communication.
My problem is that i want to connect to RDS from my local machine and i am unable. Regarding the problem i have created a new Security Group with Inbound Rules for PostgreSQL.
PostgreSQL TCP 5432 0.0.0.0/0 –
Im still unable to connect
UPDATE
RDS is Publicly accessible
Security group allows access to RDS
In order to connect to RDS instances from the internet you need to do these 3 things
Deploy your RDS instance in a "public" subnet. This means the subnet must have an Internet Gateway attached to it so it can respond properly to outbound requests
In your RDS instance under Connectivity, extend the Additional configuration section, and then choose Publicly accessible.
Make sure the security group allows access to your RDS instance.
Note: exposing a database to public access is not secure. What I recommend you to do is create a proxy with haproxy or a VPN.
To be able to connect to the RDS database remotely you need to select "yes" option for the "Public Accessibility" setting for you database. Here are some additional configurations that need to be taken into account (form AWS docs):
If you want your DB instance in the VPC to be publicly accessible, you
must enable the VPC attributes DNS hostnames and DNS resolution.
Your VPC must have a VPC security group that allows access to the DB
instance.
The CIDR blocks in each of your subnets must be large enough to
accommodate spare IP addresses for Amazon RDS to use during
maintenance activities, including failover and compute scaling.
Best,
Stefan
I'm trying to use CDK (Typescript) to create an RDS (Postgres) instance within an ISOLATED subnet. As far as I understood, the default VPC created automatically in each of my account regions only has Public Subnets.
If I then want to launch a Fargate instance on top of one of those Public Subnets, do I need to create a VPC Peering between the ISOLATED subnet and the default VPC?
Any idea how to create that using CDK?
"Any idea how to create that using CDK?" -> yes:
Use AWS CDK to provision a new VPC similar to this. As you can see, there are subnets for public, applicational and database layers;
[OPTIONAL] For a better AWS CDK project organization, you can use multiple stacks like network (VPC resources), compute (Fargate resources), and database (RDS). You can pass the vpc on network stack to compute & database stacks;
Be sure that you set vpc on the ECS cluster and at load-balanced level (if applicable) and put RDS database in the isolated/database by using vpcSubnets attribute
To sum up, one VPC. No applicational or database exposed to the public. I have a git repo in case you want to look for sample code/template
VPC peering is when you have two VPC with different CIDR ranges. You have one VPC hence no need to use VPC peering.
I'm following AWS's instructions Scenario 2: VPC with Public and Private Subnets and am having issues at the point I try to launch a DB server.
When I launch my instance, all is fine and I am able to assign it to my newly created VPC. However, when it comes to launch the RDS, the only VPC available (on step 4, configure advanced settings) is the default VPC (ie not the one I created as per their instructions).
Has anyone any idea about this or indeed how to resolve it?
RDS requires a little more setup than an EC2 instance if you want to launch it within a VPC.
Specifically, you need to create:
a DB subnet group within the VPC
a VPC security group for the RDS instance
The documentation is a little buried in the AWS RDS documents. It can be found here:
