This section details requirement examples of connections to AWS using our connectors for S3 Delimited Text, and Relational Databases in an EC2 instance.
RDS
To connect to RDS, create a Datastore as follows;
Type: SQL Server
Where is your data: On an internal network
Agent: Select the Agent installed in your EC2 environment
Connection String: Server = [ServerName],[Port];Database=[DatabaseName];User Id=[UserID];Password=[Password];
Security Groups
EC2 — Inbound ports 3389 - no outbound rules
RDS — Inbound ports 1433 - no outbound rules
There is also a rule that allows the EC2 group to access the RDS group so the agent on EC2 can connect to RDS via the SQL Native Client (port 1433).
