Connecting RDS to mysqlworkbench via fleetmanager

Hello.

• If you're having trouble connecting your RDS to MySQL Workbench despite being in the same VPC and having the necessary security groups and NACLs configured.

• Ensure your RDS instance is publicly accessible if you're connecting from your local machine via the internet.

• If it's a private instance you're connected to the same VPC.

• Confirm that the security group attached to the RDS instance allows inbound traffic on port 3306 from your IP address.

• Ensure outbound rules for the RDS instance's security group allow traffic.

• Verify that the Network ACLs for the subnets associated with your RDS instance allow both inbound and outbound traffic on port 3306.

• Use the RDS endpoint not the instance name in MySQL Workbench.

• Ensure you are using the correct username, password, and port 3306.

• that the subnet routing is correct and if needed check for a NAT gateway if you're using private subnets.

• Confirm that the RDS instance is in the "Available" state before connecting.
