How to connect to Aurora Serverless from my local machine using workbench

Hi,

If you would like to connect to Aurora from your local machine, there are a couple of options:

1. Provide a public access to the database: Here, RDS assigns a public IP address to the cluster. Amazon EC2 instances and other resources outside of the VPC can connect to your cluster. Resources inside the VPC can also connect to the cluster. Choose one or more VPC security groups that specify which resources can connect to the cluster. Even when the database is publicly accessible, access to it is ultimately controlled by the security groups associated with it. Access isn't permitted if these security groups don't permit it. So, you could add your IP address to the security group so that it permits access.
2. If you don't want to provide Public access, you could use a AWS Client VPN that allows your remote workforce to securely connect to AWS resources, basically here you log into a VPC which has private connectivity to your DB.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Rama
