Working with Microservices-14: Creating Amazon RDS MySQL(8.0.31) database for the Kubernetes cluster in the Production stage.

We continue our Production Pipeline. In this section, we will use Amazon RDS instead of MySQL pod and service during the Production stage, because Amazon RDS has automatic backup, multi-AZ deployment, performance and scalability, and security measures, also it is serverless. We will install and run Amazon RDS, then create a MySQL database on AWS RDS. We will integrate Database into our app. For Production Pipeline, we will edit the Kubernetes manifest yaml files related to Amazon RDS. Finally, we will integrate our Amazon RDS endpoint into the Kubernetes cluster to connect it.

Topics we will cover:

1. What is Amazon RDS?

2. Installing Amazon RDS and creating a MySQL database on it

3. Setting up Database security group
