remote mysql database

[simonphughes]

Just trying to do a quick POC using space cloud and think it looks great. Have quickly run up a docker-compose instance of space cloud and now would like to connect to a remote mysql database which is hosted on aws rds. Is this possible?

I'm currently using the connection string in this format,
mysql://username:password@myinstance-instance-1.xxxxxxxxxx.eu-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com:3306/myDBName

but getting the following error.
default addr for network 'myinstance-instance-1.xxxxxxxxxx.eu-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com:3306' unknown

Any help greatly appreciated, and Yes that instance of RDS has a public endpoint and the appropriate rules in place to be accessed by my PC which is running the docker image.

That's surprising. Technically it should just work. Can we confirm if our containers have internet connectivity?

Maybe try using netcat from within a container to connect to your remote database?
