Connecting Amazon RDS (MySQL) to Amazon Q Business

Amazon RDS (MySQL) (Amazon Relational Database Service) is a web service that makes it easier to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the AWS Cloud. You can connect your Amazon RDS (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 Aurora (MySQL) data source connector supports Amazon RDS MySql 5.6, 5.7, and 8.0.

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).
