This repo contains Commands to run on ec2 to connect it with RDS

Prerequisites

• Configure Security Group: In the RDS instance settings, set up a security group that allows inbound traffic on the database port from your EC2 instance(s).
• Usually, this is port 3306 for MySQL/MariaDB, 5432 for PostgreSQL, or 1433 for SQL Server.
• Install Database Client Software on EC2
• Connect to your EC2 instance via SSH.
• Install the appropriate database client software, depending on the type of database you are using. For example, for MySQL, you might install the MySQL client.

Establish Connection

• Once the client is installed, you can connect to your RDS instance using its endpoint. The general command format (MySQL used as an example) is:

mysql -h [rds-endpoint] -P [port] -u [username] -p
