Is there any way to point ELB URL to RDS?

764 views Asked by At

At present we have our database server on AWS EC2 instance (using phpmyadmin) and all our applications use ELB. We want to move our database to RDS and I have successfully replicated our master database to RDS (using official documentation, link: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/MySQL.Procedural.Importing.NonRDSRepl.html).

The problem is, we would like to point ELB URL to RDS. I tried searching for the solution and procedure, but couldn't find any.

No, you can't point ELB to RDS.

However, you can you can use HAproxy/Nginx as as Level 4 load balancer/reverse proxy for this purpose. Refer:
