We know the procedure of changing the master password of RDS instance.
I want to know:
Does the RDS instance drop the current connections which were connected with old credentials or they remain in running state as in core MySQL?
You cannot have root access to an RDS.
You can change the master user password of the RDS, provided during the creation of the RDS.
If this particular username is not in use anywhere and you change the password, there will be no connection drops.
Connection didn't drop while changing the master password in RDS.
Also:
The change is applied asynchronously, as soon as possible. This setting ignores the Apply immediately setting.
You can check the RDS docs:

I created RDS serverless DB-instance, when I create the DB, I created the DB with the master username = root and some password, However, when I checked the user accounts, I can see that the root user is not actually a Superuser but a Normal user with minimum privileges of USAGE only.
This makes it impossible to create new users or manage the database servers as I don't have access to the server with the required privileges. Even going to modify the cluster and reset the password didn't work as it just keep on giving the root user as USAGE only, even deleting and re-creation didn't work,
any ideas? see below
I cannot reach my MySQL Database instance I created on AWS.
What I tried was to set the public access of the Database to "Publicly accessible" here:
Also I tried to set Inbound/Outbound rules for the MySQL port here:
Honestly I think using "All" ports would include 3306 too. Anyways, I tried it this way because yet it didn't work. I cannot connect to the database via MySQL Workbench, nor can I use a ping request on the given endpoint.
I would be glad if someone here has an idea what I could try else.
This will not work if you have deployed it in a private subnet which has no internet access.
Another possibility is that there is ACLs that is stopping the traffic. Security group only touch the RDS instance, the ACLs control traffic in the entire subnet.
Here is a dev AWS tutorial that creates a web application that stores data in MySQL running on the cloud. It will show you how to setup the database and the inbound rules. Once you do, you can store data or query data from MySQL. Likewise, you can use MySQL Workbench to interact with MySQL on the cloud.
AWS RDS Tutorial
I'm not used to AWS and how some services actually work but in this exact moment I need to add some users to a MySQL database (RDS service) and allow some IPs to access it, and if someone can help me I really appreciate.
I did some research and found that I can connect to the EC2 instance and access the CLI and that would be enough, but I can't find any running instance in any region.
Thanks for your time.
Connect to your RDS instance as the root user, and add an account just like you would with a MySQL database running anywhere else. There is no special AWS procedure here.
If the database has the "publicly accessible" flag enabled, then you just need to add the IP address to the inbound rules in the Security Group assigned to the RDS instance. If the database is not "publicly accessible" then you won't be able to give access to external IP addresses.
I was wondering whether there is a way to define a specific database in the connection setup of MySQL Workbench (I know this works with other database software). Sometimes I have a lot of different databases on one server and I only want to access one with one connection. Can I specify the database in the connection settings somehow?
YES, On the home tab Click the + in MySQL Connections. And put the database name in the Default Schema: when you fill in all the usual info about ip address etc
Now if you only want to see the one database, then create a new MySQL user account and only allow this new account access to this single database. Then change the connection to the database to use the newly created MySQL account.
I guess you are seeing all the databases because you are using the root account.
I'm looking to have a master and slave DB on the same server, both in an Amazon RDS instance. Is this possible? I'm using MySQL Workbench to access it and am a little confused with the instructions I have seen so far.
"On the same server" is not possible with Amazon RDS for MySQL, because RDS is a managed service. Amazon provides, configures, and has exclusive access to the actual server where an RDS instance is running... you, the user, do not have direct (shell) access to that machine, so you can't do the kind of customization of configuration that running a master and slave on the same server would require.
Other being not possibile since RDS is a managed MySQL (you don't have SSH access or SUPER privileges) it would be also not that useful:
You make a slave replica for scaling out or for backup/failover, on the same machine it doens't make sense
