Allowing RDS access for multiple servers

“

- [Instructor] If you create an RDS database, it'll run on an EC2 instance, and you'll only be able to connect to it from the computer you were using when you created it. I beat my head against the wall on this one for a while, so hopefully it'll help you out. So from this machine, I can connect to it using MySQL Shell or MySQL Workbench, but nobody else from other machines can if they need to do some administration. If you go to the Connectivity & Security settings and scroll down, you'll see that the Inbound is set for the IP address of the computer that you're on. If you click on that and go to the EC2 Management console, and click on Inbound, you can edit this to allow connections from anywhere or specific IP addresses. But be careful, you may need that level of security and you may not want to make those changes. You need to talk to whoever's responsible for that type of thing, and if it's you, you should understand the risks.
