AWS: RDS Micro instances are now available in VPC

Hello!

More recently, RDS became available on t1.micro instances for free as part of the Free Tier package. From today, these RDS instances are also available in VPC.

Let me remind you that the VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) is a separate virtual cloud that is positioned as a private one. Resources can be assigned to networks and subnets, network interfaces and much more. You can limit your servers from the entire Internet, thereby seriously increasing the security of resources.

In order to add an RDS instance to an existing network, you must first create a DB subnet in the console:


Note that at least 2 zones should be covered. This is done to create MultiAZ dealings in VPC.

After, you need to create a Security Group for the VPC subnet:


Well, when creating an instance, you need to specify the VPC subnet and the created Security Group:


All the same manipulations are available in CLI utilities with the commands:

$ rds-create-db-subnet-group $ rds-create-db-security-group $ rds-create-db-instance 

Do you use VPC? A RDS in VPC?
