SSH到AWS RDS Postgres实例

Question

I wanted to install pgbouncer in my postgres rds, but I am not able to access the instance, like the same way we access ec2 instances. So is there a way by which I can ssh to the machine (not psql, it's working fine).

Answer 1

您不能直接访问rds基础实例，这是设计使然。

Answer 2

This worked for me. Make sure you have psql client installed locally.

psql --host=myAwsDbEndpointUrl.ciqykqusf0nv.us-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com --port=5432 --username=myUserName --password --dbname=myDbName

When creating your db instance on aws, make sure to define the following:

1. username
2. password
3. database name
4. port number

I also had to create a security group for the VPC that the database was located in. After creating it make sure your db instance uses this for its security group. The security group has the following rules:

inbound--> type:PostgreSQL, protocol:TCP port range:5432, source:0.0.0.0/0

outbound--> type:All Traffic, protocol:All, port range:all, destination:0.0.0.0/0
