Connect MySQL workbench to AWS RDS

Question

I need a clear and well explained guide on connecting my free tier RDS to workbench. All the guides I have found are old, the pictures are out of date, and they're not clear where the required pieces are coming from. I am confused because they are talking about EC2 when I am looking for RDS. Please explain this further or include a link to a guide.

Answer 1

the process is very simple check below screenshot. Add the relevant information your RDS Host String, RDS Username and Add the password by clicking on "Store In Keychain" and make sure your machine IP address is added to the Security Group of the AWS RDS instance.
