Step 3: Configure Amazon Aurora RDS in your VPC

You must set up an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL database in the VPC that is accessible by XL JetPack to store its data. Furthermore, the Amazon Aurora instance must be configured with a number of databases.

There are two options to set up an Aurora database.

Step 3a: Existing Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL instance

If you already have an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL database instance running in your VPC, click the button below to run a CloudFormation template that will provision the necessary databases in your Aurora instance.

Step 3b: Empty VPC

If you have an empty VPC, click the button below to run a CloudFormation template that will set up Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL and provision the necessary databases.

If you’ve used the CloudFormation stack from step 1, use the DataSubnetA and DataSubnetB provisione

d by the template for the DataSubnetIDs. Also use PrivateSubnet1A for the PrivateSubnetID.

Note	Ensure that the subnet specified in the PrivateSubnetID parameter has a NAT Gateway attached and has outgoing internet access. The template will deploy a custom Lambda to the subnet which requires internet access.

An example configuration of the CloudFormation parameters looks like this:
