Testing an AWS Glue connection
Note
To test a connection, you use the Connections page in the AWS Glue console. Testing custom connections is not supported.
New Amazon RDS database instances will default to using the new certificate
rds-ca-rsa2048-g1. AWS Glue jobs and Test Connection
currently rely on certificate rds-ca-2019. In order to connect new Amazon RDS instances with
AWS Glue jobs or Test Connection,
set your instance to use the certificate rds-ca-2019 through the
AWS console or AWS CLI. For more information, please see the
Using SSL/TLS to encrypt a connection to a DB instance
in the Amazon RDS user guide for detailed guidance.
As a best practice, before you use an AWS Glue connection in an ETL job, use the AWS Glue console to test the connection. AWS Glue uses the parameters in your connection to confirm that it can access your data store and reports any errors. For information about AWS Glue connections, see Connecting to data.
To test an AWS Glue connection
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Glue console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/glue/
