Getting Started

(Optional) Modifying Security Group Rules

• This solution uses port 8069 to access Odoo. By default, all traffic is allowed to pass through. You can configure the IP address whitelist by referring to the instructions for modifying security group rules.

A security group is a network traffic access control policy, which includes inbound and outbound rules. These rules provide security protection for cloud servers, cloud containers, cloud databases, and other instances that have the same protection requirements and are mutually trusted within the security group.

If the security group policies associated with your instance cannot meet your requirements, for example, you need to add, modify, or delete a TCP port, perform the following operations to modify the policies.

• Adding a security group rule: If you need to open a TCP port for your service, add an inbound rule to open the specified TCP port. For details, see.
• Modifying a security group rule: Inappropriate security group rules may cause severe security risks. You can modify the rules to ensure network security of instances such as cloud servers. For details, see.
• Deleting a security group rule: If the source or destination IP address of an inbound or outbound security group rule changes, or you do not need to open a port, you can delete the security group rule. For details, see.

Initializing the Odoo

1. Log in to the RDS console, find the created RDS DB instance, and click Login.
   Figure 1 Logging In to RDS

   

2. Enter the username and password of the RDS database, and click Test Connection. After the connection is successful, click Login.

3. The RDS login page is displayed.
   Figure 3 The login to the RDS page is successful

   

4. On the stack details page, view the URL for accessing the Odoo page in the output. Wait for about 10 to 20 minutes, and then access http://Public IP address:8069 in the browser to initialize the Odoo page. The default master password is my_admin_passwd. Then, customize the database information (the database is a new database) and click Create database.
