How to go to AWS RDS instance for some work in the directory of RDS server


I want to directly work in the AWS RDS Server (MYSQL). All I can find is to use mysql client. But I literally want to work on the RDS server like

SSH user@{rds ip}

How can I do this?


Solution

  • Amazon RDS is a fully-managed database service.

    You only have access to the Amazon RDS management console, Amazon RDS API calls (that can launch/stop instances, take snapshots, etc) and the SQL endpoint.

    You do not have access to the 'server', nor are you given full 'superuser' permissions when connecting to the SQL endpoint.
