RDS 通过 VPN 连接

Question

My MySQL database stored in AWS RDS. I need to connect this database to my website which is hosted by another provider. But I don't have a public IP in AWS.So they told connect via VPN. How can I do this?

Answer 1

There is no need of external VPN provider. You can create an site-to-site IPsec VPN from your third party network to the RDS AWS VPC. It's not much complicated. There are lot of docs available in the AWS documentation page. If you want you can go through the below links.

Answer 2

This is a really broad question. Do you have a device on the local network that can support an IPSec tunnel to AWS? For example, I use SonicWall TZ400, but there are many, many devices from many, many vendors that support this functionality.

If you don't have such a device, you'll need to get one.

Then, you need to configure your VPC (I assume your RDS instance is in a VPC, and that the RDS instance sits in a subnet that is private (no public IP address is assigned)?

Assuming that you have a local, physical network device that supports IPSec tunnels, you'll need to define a Customer Gateway (CGW) a Virtual Private Gateway (VPW), and a VPN connection.

It's not as hard as it sounds, but there are several steps involved.
