Create the Amazon Instance
If the instance does not already exist, create the Amazon RDS or Amazon Aurora instance and take a note of the endpoint URL reported. This information will be required when configuring the replicator service.
Also take a note of the user and password used for connecting to the instance.
Check your security group configuration.
The host used as the Target for applying changes to the Amazon instance must have been added to the security groups. Within Amazon RDS and Aurora, security groups configure the hosts that are allowed to connect to the Amazon instance, and hence update information within the database. The configuration must include the IP address of the Applier replicator, whether that host is within Amazon EC2 or external.
Change RDS/Aurora instance properties
Depending on the configuration and data to be replicated, the
parameter of the running instance may need to be modified. For
example, the
max_allowed_packet
parameter
may need to be increased.
For more information on changing parameters, see Section 3.3.1, “Changing Amazon RDS/Aurora Instance Configurations”.
