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.

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'm new and trying to explore AWS and creating a test app running on IIS (EC2 set in Public) and MSSQL RDS(set in Private). However my IIS is not able to connect on the RDS. Looking on my IIS EC2 it has a defined private IP too, same subnet used also from RDS, security group of RDS allows the subnet of the EC2, IAM of EC2 also has RDS Full access.
But still my ec2 wont connect on the RDS. May I ask on what I'm missing on my settings?
It appears that your configuration is:
One VPC
A Public Subnet containing an Amazon EC2 instance
A Private Subnet containing an Amazon RDS for SQL Server instance
You are attempting to connect from the EC2 instance to the RDS db instance
For this to work, you should configure:
A Security Group (let's call it EC2-SG) that is associated with the EC2 instance, permitting connections such that you can login to the EC2 instance
A Security Group (RDS-SG) associated with the RDS db instance, with an incoming connection configured for SQL Server (port 1433) with source set to EC2-SG
That is, the database security group should ALLOW an incoming connection with a source of the security group that is associated to the EC2 instance. The VPC will automatically figure out the IP addresses — you do not need to specify them.
Then, connect from the EC2 instance to the RDS db instance via the DNS Name of the RDS instance that is given in the RDS console.
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.
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'm trying out AWS EC2 and RDS. I had followed this tutorial and it worked, but the tutorial is missing a database migration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJoOnKiSYws So, could someone point me in the right direction to continue with the database migration?
I've tried https://support.cloud.engineyard.com/entries/21009887-Access-Your-Database-Remotely-Through-an-SSH-Tunnel but it didn't work for me because of an RDS permission issue.
I've also tried the instructions on Amazon, http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Overview.RDSSecurityGroups.html but it just confused me even more.

I've posted a message on AWS forum, but no one answered. And I was hoping that someone here can help me out. I just need some plain simple example such as
step1. From local pc export MySQL with mysqldump (done)
step2. Upload local mysqldump.sql file to EC2 (I don't know how to do)
step3. import mysqldump.sql on EC2 to RDS (I don't know how to do)
step4. connect django web app to use new MySQL database that has data dump (don't know how)
I really appreciate your help.
BTW, the data is in MySQL on my local computer running maverick OS (I hope that info is helpful).
If you are using RDS you don't have SSH access so creating an SSH tunnel is not an option.
So what's missing from your question is whether you are in a VPC or not, so assuming you are not in a VPC. In essence:
On the RDS security group, open the ingress EC2 security group that your EC2 instance you are going use to access the database with is in. For example, on the RDS console this shows up as the actual EC2 security group name
(To get to Security groups click RDS->Security Groups->Create DB Security Group, you first new to create an DB Security Group to see the screenshot above or you can use the default DB Security Group):
Dump your database on the server that you are running your original MySQL database. Hopefully this is the same server that is in the EC2 security group that you are allowing as an ingress on your RDS security group above: mysqldump -uroot -p <database-name> > database-name.sql
Load the database from the EC2 instance in EC2 security group allowed by RDS security group:
mysql -uroot -h<RDS-hostname> -p < database-name.sql
The RDS hostname is something like this: database-name.xxxxxxxxxx.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com
You don't have to connect to the RDS database to load a dump into it. But if you want to connect to it you can just run: mysql -uroot -p -h<RDS-hostname>
In case you you are in a VPC make sure that the EC2 instance that you are running the commands from is in the same VPC and subnet as your RDS instance. You have to create a VPC Subnet group for your VPC on the RDS console, this Subnet group has to be in two different Availability Zones if you are running a multi-az RDS instance. Other than that the procedure is the same.
