AWS Aurora RDS is the proprietary Amazon RDBMS system fully compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL.  This document will demonstrate the build of Aurora RDS servers in the AWS environment.

1.   Logon to AWS as an IAM user at URL:  https://signin.aws.amazon.com/

2.   From the Home Console type RDS in the search bar, select the star next to RDS, and select RDS.   NOTE:  The name of the Console has changed over time, but the key wording is RDS.

3.   On the left hand menu bar select Databases.

4.   Currently we have no RDS databases created and thus none are listed.   Click Create database on the right hand side of the screen.

5.   Select standard creation and for this example we will create a Aurora (postgreSQL) database.

6.   Select the Engine Version you desire and Dev/Test

7.   Enter the DB identifier, master user name, Self Managed and password

8.   Enter Aurora Standard for Cluster storage.

 9.   Instance configuration select the standard configuration.

10.   Under VPC select the standard and note the VPC selected. As well as the DB subnet.  Select Yes for public accessible.

11.  Accept the rest of the defaults and select Create Database

12.  This completes build of Aurora RDS database service on AWS.
