AWS Cloud Development Kit - From Beginner to Professional - Create RDS Database

This video tutorial covers the process of creating RDS instances for databases using AWS CDK. It begins with an introduction to RDS and the architecture setup, followed by building a VPC stack with subnets and an application stack. The tutorial then details configuring the RDS instance, including setting up the database engine, VPC, and security groups. Finally, it demonstrates deploying the stack and testing database connectivity using an EC2 instance and MySQL client.

What types of databases can RDS support?

• Only Oracle and MySQL

• Only Postgres and MariaDB

• Oracle, MySQL, Postgres, and MariaDB

• Only MySQL

What is the role of the application load balancer in the architecture?

• To provide security for the database

• To distribute incoming traffic to EC2 instances

• To manage database connections

• To store data

What is the purpose of the VPC stack in the architecture?

• To handle application logic

• To provide data storage

• To manage user authentication

• To host all infrastructure components

Which operating system is used for the EC2 instances in the application stack?

What type of instance is used for the RDS in the demo?

• T2 Micro

• T5 Micro

• T3 Micro

• T4 Micro

What is the purpose of the security group configuration in the deployment?

• To provide backup solutions

• To manage user access to the application

• To allow EC2 instances to connect to the database

• To encrypt database data

What is the significance of the 'experimental' label in the CDK documentation?

• It suggests the feature is deprecated

• It indicates a stable feature

• It shows the feature is not supported

• It means the feature is under development and may change

How can you access the database credentials after deployment?

• Using the VPC console

• Through the application load balancer

• Via the Secrets Manager

• By logging into the EC2 instance

What tool is used to verify the database connection from the EC2 instance?
