Find Your Public RDS Endpoint

Once SleakOps has configured a public read replica for your RDS instance, you can find its connection endpoint directly in the AWS Console.

Finding the Endpoint​

  1. Open the AWS Console and navigate to RDS.
  2. In the left sidebar, click Databases.
  3. Find and click on your DB instance or read replica. Public replicas are typically named with a -replica or similar suffix.
  4. Open the Connectivity & security tab.
  5. Copy the Endpoint value — this is the hostname your application or client will connect to.

The endpoint follows the standard AWS RDS format:

<identifier>.<region>.rds.amazonaws.com

Use it along with the port for your engine (default 5432 for PostgreSQL, 3306 for MySQL and MariaDB, 1521 for Oracle, 1433 for SQL Server; Aurora uses 5432 or 3306 depending on the compatible engine) to configure your database client or connection string.

warning

Public RDS instances are reachable from the internet. Always verify that the associated Security Group restricts inbound access to only the IP ranges that need it.
