What you'll do

In this lab, you will configure a highly available MySQL database in an Amazon RDS DB instance to store data for a customer-facing website.

  1. Create security groups to control access to the database servers
  2. Create subnet groups for the database servers in each region
  3. Create a MySQL Amazon RDS DB instance
  4. Create an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance that runs a PHP website to connect to the database server
  5. Create a read replica of the database in another region for disaster recovery, then you will create a web server in the second region to test access to the read replica

Note: Once you begin the lab, you will not be able to pause, save, or exit and then return to your lab. Please ensure that you have set aside enough time to complete the lab before you start.
