Creating MYSQL Database on AWS RDS

Today i created an MYSQL database on AWS RDS, have been thinking of doing this from quite some time and  got sometime to work on this one. RDS is  managed service from amazon , means you can create a database from AWS console , but the underlying servers/OS is managed by Amazon.

Let's check the  the process followed for the same:

Login to AWS console and click on databases:

Click on Create Database and you will see many database, i chose MYSQL for my purpose

Next step is to select template, to chose if this database is for production,dev/test or free tier. based on your selection different features and pricing will be enabled accordingly

Next choose CPU, memory ,storage required 

Next is to select availability and scaling if requires, since i have chosen free tier this option is disabled for me.

Next step it to choose authentication method,i chose password

while  clicking on additional configuration from above, Next steps are to set database name ,parameter group,option group , backups, retention, monitoring, logs enabling..

Once all done click create and you will see DB getting created.

This will take a few minutes and once done we can connect to RDS using endpoint given on the console:

mysql -h mysql.endpoint.rds.amazonaws.com -P 3306 -u mymasteruser -p

After that you will see a prompt like :

Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 320 Server version: 5.7.22-log MySQL Community Server (GPL) Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql>

And we are Done, Happy Learning as Always
