Amazon RDS now supports 1-click connectivity to EC2 instances in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

[Amazon Relational Database Services (Amazon RDS)](https://aws.amazon.com/rds/) and [Amazon Aurora](https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/) databases now support 1-click connection to an [Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)](https://aws.amazon.com/pm/ec2/) compute instance during database creation in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. When provisioning a database using the Amazon RDS console, you now have the option to select an EC2 instance and with a single click establish connectivity between the database and the EC2 instance, following [AWS recommended best practices](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER%5FVPC.Scenarios.html#USER%5FVPC.Scenario1). Amazon RDS automatically sets up your VPC and related network settings during database creation to enable a secure connection between the EC2 instance and the RDS database. This eliminates the additional networking tasks such as setting up a VPC, security groups, subnets, and ingress/egress rules manually to establish a connection between your application and database. It improves productivity for new users and application developers who can now quickly launch a database instance and seamlessly connect to an application on a compute instance within minutes. 1-click connectivity between an Amazon RDS database and an EC2 instance is now available in all commercial [AWS Regions](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/) and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. Learn more about setting up connectivity to a compute resource from your RDS or Aurora database in the [Amazon RDS User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER%5FCreateDBInstance.html#USER%5FCreateDBInstance.Prerequisites.VPC.Automatic) and the [Amazon Aurora User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/Aurora.CreateInstance.html#Aurora.CreateInstance.Prerequisites.VPC.Automatic).
