I want to remove VPS Instance in AWS and it's RDS.How to remove the both services in my account.
Your question is confusing because the title mentions VPS, while your question mentions VPC and RDS. So, here's some definitions:
An Amazon EC2 instance is a virtual machine that runs in the AWS cloud. Some people might refer to a virtual machine as a Virtual Private Server (VPS), but within AWS the term VPS is only really used with a virtual machine provisioned via Amazon Lightsail.
An Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a virtual network in which resources (eg Amazon EC2 instances can be created). There is a Default VPC provided in an AWS account that should not (in general) be deleted.
Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) provides fully-managed database instances for SQL databases such as SQL Server, My SQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL.
If you wish to remove an Amazon RDS instance, go to the RDS management console, select the instance, then in the Instance Actions menu select Delete.
See: Deleting a DB Instance
If you wish to remove an Amazon EC2 instance, go to the EC2 management console, select the instance, then go to the Actions menu and select Instance State -> Terminate.
See: Terminate Your Instance
I do not recommend that you delete your VPC unless you created it yourself.

I have lunched AWS linus2 AMI and created database and setupAjax/ LAMP through puTTY web page in browser.Now I want to partition the application so that application itself is on one instance and the database resides on a database instance on ec2?
A typical architecture on AWS is:
An Amazon EC2 instance with the application, placed in a Public Subnet
An Amazon RDS database
The application on the EC2 instance can connect to the Amazon RDS database. The benefit of this architecture is that the EC2 instance can be updated and even replaced without impacting data stored in the database. Plus, if your application later grows to multiple EC2 instances, they can all communicate with the database.
Using an Amazon RDS database is preferable to running your own database on an Amazon EC2 instance because AWS takes care of deployment, updates and backups.
Recently I started to use Azure.
In Azure, I created Resources Group, Virtual Network, Availability Set and Virtual Machine.
Then I connected VM using RDP
Same way, I want to create and connect VM in AWS.
Please let me know, what steps I need to follow.
Virtual Machines on AWS are provided by the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud service, more commonly known as Amazon EC2. Individual VMs are referred to as instances. Thus, the terminology to seek is "Amazon EC2 instance".
There are many ways to launch an Amazon EC2 instance, such as using a web interface, making an API call or using the AWS Command-Line Interface (CLI).
See: Launch Your Instance - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
To launch an instance from the EC2 management console, click Launch instance and provide the desired configuration.
See: Launching an Instance Using the Launch Instance Wizard - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
AWS offers the option to run VMs on hardware hosts that are dedicated to a single customer (for compliance purposes, added security, etc).
This is available when using their Amazon EC2 Dedicated Instances
My question is: Do they offer similar hardware-level single-tenancy in their managed DB services ? (AWS RDS. For example using Oracle, or MySQL)
I looked for that option but cannot find it anywhere.
To run RDS on dedicated hardware, you need to create a dedicated VPC and then launch the RDS instance into that VPC. You also need to choose a DB instance class that is an approved EC2 dedicated instance type e.g. db.m3.medium.

In trying to move a website to operate via Elastic Beanstalk (ELB), I chose the t2 series of EC2 instances, and in doing so, was forced to create a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). This site connects to a MySQL database via RDS, and I'm not having any luck getting the ELB site to access the database.
I've tried reviewing this:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/AWSHowTo.RDS.html?icmpid=docs_elasticbeanstalk_console
The above link starts by saying "works great for development and testing environments, but is not ideal for a production environment", which confuses me as it doesn't say what would be better in its place - I need a database connected to the site!
It has all sorts of information and I tried several of the things it suggested regarding connecting to an existing database (not creating a new one). It mentions on step 6 of the "To modify the ingress rules on your RDS instance's security group" section to access the ingress tab, which doesn't exist for me.
I've tried editing the security group associated with the database via the RDS dashboard under "security groups", but it does not list the security groups that are associated with the VPC or the EC2 instance launched by ELB. I tried pushing the IP addresses, elastic IPs, and still can't get the site to see the database.
I'm at a loss. Can anyone explain how to connect an ELB distributed EC2 instance with an RDS database through the VPC required by t2 instances?
The statement that "This works great for development and testing environments, but is not ideal for a production environment" is just referring to having ElasticBeanstalk create the RDS instance for you. This can be done by configuring the "Database" section when creating a new EB environment.
The downside of letting EB create the RDS instance for you is that your web instance and database instance will be strongly connected, and if you ever terminate your web instance, your database will also be terminated, including all of your snapshots.
However, I think you're taking the "external" part of "external database" too literally. Your RDS instance should definitely be within the same VPC as your web instance. However, you should create it and connect your web instance to it manually. Connecting to the database involves setting five environment variables (listed below) and configuring the security group to allow connections from the web instance to the database.
The environment variables you'll need to set on your web instance are as follows:
RDS_HOSTNAME=instancename.region.rds.amazonaws.com
RDS_DB_NAME=databasename
RDS_PASSWORD=databasepassword
RDS_USERNAME=databaseuser
RDS_PORT=5432
Can someone please clearly explain in a step-by-step guide and in simple terms from start to finish how to properly setup a private RDS instance that connects to:
Elastic Beanstalk instance where the the environment is using a load balancing, auto scaling web server environment using PHP as it’s platform.
MySQL Workbench
Side note, the EB and RDS instance(s) are all in the same VPC. I suppose in reality this may be more of a how to properly setup and connect IAM profiles and roles question.
In essence, I want to restrict all internet access from the RDS instance, while still allowing my EB instance or other resources i.e other EC2 instances (all located in the same VPC) the ability to connect to the RDS instance, while also allowing me to use (connect to) a DB tool like MySQL Workbench.
