RDS Setup Notes

NOTE: When creating an RDS instance, if you choose "auto-generate a password", it will only appear in the blue AWS notification after you create it - don't skip that or you'll have to reset the password.

Import database information via phpMyAdmin, see phpMyAdmin Setup.txt in Lightsail area for info.

Make sure to use a custom parameter group, which has log_bin_trust_function_creators set to 1, or functions/stored procedures will not be able to be added.

Use gp3 storage - much more effective for the same price than gp2.
