Connection failure - AWS RDS and mySQL Workbench - mysql-workbench

I have setup numerous databases on AWS RDS SQL, however mySQL workbench fails to connect to the databases. I have read online that my machine IP address must be added to the security group of the database. However that option is not available.
If anyone can provide an insight into whether the security group can only be accessed with the premium plan with AWS RDS as i'm currently using the free tier
Thanks in advance

Yes, you can access AWS RDS in workbench free tier also.
you need to fix some issue before connecting via workbench.
For access AWS RDS to the remote machine, you need to give Public Accessibility 'Yes' when you create AWS RDS instance.
Also, you need to add your public IP address in AWS RDS security group with port 3306 in inbound rule.

Unable to connect the server, Timeout Expire to Postgres RDS

I've had a postgres RDS launched on AWS
I have public access enabled
I also check the security group, inbound rules
Things look okay to me, but the issue here is that I cannot connect to the server, I got "unable to connect to the server, timeout expired" with the pgAmin4, using correct endpoint and port
Trying to debug, I realize when I deploy the postgres on a server (might be a VM), I have to modify the configuration file (pg_hba.conf), so I guess I have to do the same with RDS. Is that true with RDS?
I got the default option group named default:postgres-13, but I cannot modify the option.
Please help for clue.
Edited: correct a typo
I realize that exposing a RDS to public network never be a good practice. Keep it in a private subnet and use a bastion host inside the VPC to access the database instance.
And, ssh tunneling through the bastion host is considered as a good choice for access from public network.

Unable to connect to CloudSQL instance that is part of a VPC network

I have created a CloudSQL instance which was part of a VPC I have created.
I'm able to connect to this CloudSQL using CloudSQL Proxy service. But I'm unable to connect to this instance using public IP of the instance though I added the firewall rule to this VPC.
The error I'm getting:
Unable to connect to host <public-ip-of-cloudsql>, or the request timed out.
Be sure that the address is correct and that you have the necessary privileges, or try increasing the connection timeout (currently 10 seconds).
MySQL said:
Can't connect to MySQL server on '<public-ip-of-cloudsql>' (4)
Following is the firewall rule I added and provided my home IP address in the blocked out area.
Please let me know if I'm missing something. I can provide more details if needed.
These are the steps you should follow in order to connect to Cloud SQL using the public IP:
Created a Cloud SQL instance, including configuring the default user.
Assuming you use a local client:
2.Install the client.
3.Configure access to your Cloud SQL instance.
4.Connect to your Cloud SQL instance.
You can find a detailed explanation here: Connecting MySQL client using public IP
If you are using the Cloud SQL proxy to connect via public ip, it requires port 3307 to be open to the address.
If you aren't using the Cloud SQL proxy to connect via public ip, you need to authorize your external IP.
I was able to connect CloudSQL which is part of a VPC by just adding the client IP address as Authorized networks.
It's weird, I tried many times before but couldn't succeed. It is working now.
Thanks, guys for answers.

Cannot connect to on-prem SQL Server with Google Cloud Data Fusion

I am trying to test a connection using Cloud Data Fusion to connect to an on-prem SQL Server. Our GCP Project does not use the default network but rather a custom VPC.
It's important to note that security is very important as this database contains healthcare data.
We currently have App Engine Flex code that uses pymssql to query the database on this SQL Server through the VPC, and want to test using Data Fusion.
I have copied and added the generated data fusion service account to IAM with role Cloud Data Fusion API Service Agent.
I have configured in Data Fusion
system.profile.properties.network = <VPC name>
I have verified that the username and password for authentication to SQL Server are valid for the database.
THE VPC network allows port 22 and 1433.
At this point I am just trying to get a successful connection to query a table in the database.
Here is the error message I get:
Connect timed out. Verify the connection properties. Make sure that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port. Make sure that TCP connections to the port are not blocked by a firewall.
Thoughts?
It looks like you can access SQL Server from GCP (via AppEngine Flex Py code) but having trouble connecting through Data Fusion. It also looks like authentication doesnt seem to be a problem (as the error message is around connection).
One area I can think of is to try Cloud Data Fusion private IP, that allows you to securely connect to your VPC from Cloud Data Fusion. This is a new feature and you will need Data Fusion product team support to leverage this feature.

Google Cloud Data Fusion 1. Does not connect to oracle 2. When the pipeline is running I get 'default' network port error

I installed oracle-jdbc thin driver to connect with On prem oracle DB but when I test the connection I get network adapter error
I tried the changing the host but still same
When running the pipeline from GCS-BQ I getting network port error. Can we change the VPC the pipeline is running on ?
Regarding the oracle db connection error, is the db available on the public network for connection? Currently wrangler service in Cloud Data Fusion cannot talk to the on-prem db over a private connection and we are actively working towards it.
However if the db is available on the public network then it seems like the issue with the oracle db configurations. Can you please take a look at this answer and see if it helps - Oracle SQL Developer: Failure - Test failed: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection?
Also are you able to connect to the oracle db through some other query tool such as SqlWorkbench?
Breaking down your question:
1. Connecting to on-prem databases
It is possible nowadays to connect to on-premise databases. Make sure you created an interconnect between the on-prem network and the network used by Data Fusion instance and make sure you applied the right firewall rules (seems you are getting firewall issues by the logs). I suggest trying to connect directly in the database first to confirm that the network setup works.
2. Change network configurations on the Data Fusion job.
You can specify parameters for your job. There are options to change the network and subnetwork that the job will be executed under Configure > Compute config > Customize option. If you use shared VPC you can also specify the Host project.

I set my RDS (psql) db to NOT publicly accessible and now I cannot connect to my db using pgAdmin. How can I connect to it now?

I am using elastic beanstalk and I have my REST application running there. This REST API application can access my RDS postgres database, and my RDS is only accessible in my VPC. I have updated my VPC settings, so my REST API does seem to work, since I have some endpoints I'm hitting to insert, and I can also make requests to pull the most recent data, etc.
However... I can't tell for sure!
I was using PgAdmin to connect to my database, but since changing the RDS instance's publicly accessible setting to NO, I can no longer connect to it from my macbook. Is there a way I can still connect to that database using PgAdmin or psql, perhaps by using SSH or something?
From my reading it seems I cannot SSH to RDS directly, so I am not sure how to proceed. Thank you!
Choosing the option YES for publicly accessible for your DB instance will give your instance a public IP address.
Is your RDS in private subnets ?
If yes, I've had that issue before. What I did in my case was to setup an openVPN server and have the client on my mac. But that solution was driven by having not only RDS in the private subnets but other services so we could access them through the VPN connection.
As for OpenVPN, I have made a blog post for it: here
From your question as much I can understand you need to access your DB from public outside amazon VPC
just modify the DB instance
open rds dashboard select your DB instance you want to modify
top instance action >> Modify >> change the Publicly available option to yes.
image reference:
change your Db security group port to anywhere or your Ip.(so at least you can only access)
Now you can access your DB from your MacBook
