Is there any way we can access an Amazon RDS database inside VPC from Lambda locally (now in AWS console)?

I am trying to run lambda locally but having an issue while accessing RDS because of VPC.

CodePudding user response：

Your database is not accessible from the Internet. This is excellent for security, but it means you cannot connect directly to the database.

You have a couple of options...

You could create a VPN Connection into the VPC and then connect to the database.

Or, you could SSH into a 'Jump Box' (or 'Bastion Server') while using Port Forwarding. See: StackOverflow: How EC2 allow SSH tunelling to access RDS in private subnet?
