21 Days of AWS using Terraform — Day 8- Introduction to AWS RDS MySQL using Terraform
Welcome to Day 8 of 21 Days of AWS using Terraform. The topic for today is Introduction to AWS RDS MySQL using Terraform. With that we will be able to finish the last part of our two-tier architecture i.e MySQL DB is private subnets.
What is AWS RDS?
Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) is a web service that makes it easier to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient, resizable capacity for an industry-standard relational database and manages common database administration tasks.
To create a database, go to Database section(AWS Console) and click on RDS
Click on Get Started Now
Then Select MySQL
On the next screen, choose Dev/Test -MySQL(or depend upon your requirement, as my use case is only for testing purpose)
On the next screen provide all the info
As this is for testing Purpose
- DB instance class(db.t2.micro)
