When we create RDS need to configured the firewall to accept mySQL connections from local or other instance, as such the packet is being dropped at the firewall level, to resolve this you need to:

• Login into your AWS console Go to RDS

Note down the security group of your mySQL server (in my case awseb-e)

• click security groups
• click your group in the center menu awseb
• click inbound tab

Select mySQL from the list, add the details of your client server and save the rule

NOTE : once you choose my IP ,AWS select your IP , if you need other ip use
