Connecting MySQL to Amazon Q Business

MySQL is an open source relational database management system. You can connect your MySQL instance to Amazon Q Business—using either the AWS Management Console, CLI, or the CreateDataSource API—and create an Amazon Q web experience.

The Amazon Q MySQL data source connector supports MySQL 8.0. 21.

Important

As a best practice, provide Amazon Q with read-only database credentials. Also, avoid adding tables with sensitive data or personal identifiable information (PII).
