Step 3 - After that, we can see Database engine. Here select which Database you want to use. Here I am using "MySql".

Step 5 - In "Specify DB Details" section select the Database version which you want. And also select Databse Instance and create Database Username and Password.

Step 6 - Under "Configure Advanced Settings" specify Network &Security details and Database option and also we can enable Backup option.

Step 7 - Now RDS Installation configuration is successfully completed.

Step 8 - Now we can check the RDS configuration details, Go to Instance tab. It will take some time to activate.

In this Details we can see the "Endpoint" option, by which we can access Database.

Step 10 - RDS Database is successfully created, Now we can check from client PC by using the "Endpoint" option, whether it is working or not.

Step 11 - We can also connect through "MySql Workbench". In this option, we need to install MySql Workbench on client system.

Step 13 - After connecting MySql Server (RDS), we need to import Database form the local system. I have already exported Database by using phpMyAdmin.
