Create a New RDS Subnet Group

Overview

When you create a database instance inside an Amazon VPC, you will need to define a DB Subnet Group. Then your database will use that Subnet group and the preferred Availability Zone to select a subnet and an IP address within that subnet. Note that each database Subnet Group should have at least one subnet for every Availability Zone in a given Amazon Region. Use the following procedure to create a new RDS database subnet group for your AWS VPC.

Steps

  • Navigate to: Clouds > AWS Region > RDS Subnet Groups
  • Click New.
  • Specify the following parameters:
    • Group name - Provide a name for the security group. It must begin with a letter; must contain only ASCII letters, digits, and hyphens; and must not end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.
    • Group description - Brief description about the security group. (Required)
    • VPC - The Virtual Private Cloud you would like to associate to this group.
