Does RDS Support SSL Connections?

RDS for MySQL and RDS for MariaDB support SSL connections. After a DB instance is created, SSL is disabled by default. You can enable it on the console. When using a client to connect to a DB instance, specify the CA certificate name or path to encrypt the connection.

For details about how to connect to an RDS for MySQL instance with SSL enabled, see Step 3: Connect to the DB Instance Using Commands (SSL Connection).

For details about how to connect to an RDS for MariaDB instance with SSL enabled, see Connecting to a DB Instance Using Commands (SSL Connection).
