In this lesson, you’ll learn how to secure Amazon RDS environments using AWS-native security controls like IAM database authentication, AWS Secrets Manager, KMS encryption, private subnets, and scoped security groups. We’ll walk through securing RDS connectivity from ECS tasks, generating temporary IAM authentication tokens instead of long-lived passwords, automatically rotating database credentials with Secrets Manager, and protecting data at rest with KMS encryption. We’ll also cover snapshot security risks, Database Activity Streams for monitoring SQL activity, and key AWS Security Specialty exam concepts around RDS encryption, authentication, and database isolation.
