AWS Aurora MySQL serverless: how to connect from MySQL Workbench

Question

I was trying to use AWS Aurora Serverless for MySQL in my project, but I am impossible to connect to it, though I have the endpoint, username, password.

What I have

Answer 1

One way to connect to an Aurora Serverless DB cluster is by using an Amazon EC2 instance. You cannot create publicly accessible Aurora Serverless DB clusters in the Preview. This task walks you through creating a publicly accessible Amazon EC2 instance in your VPC. You can use this Amazon EC2 instance to connect to an Aurora Serverless DB cluster.

This is directly from the docs provided upon preview signup. Please try creating an EC2 instance and using SSH Tunnel method in your MYSQL Workbench or SQL UI of choice. During the preview the Aurora Serverless is not allowed to be set to publicly accessible.
