Course description

In this hands-on lab, you will deploy a fully functional MySQL database server on an Amazon EC2 instance running Red Hat Enterprise Linux. You'll start by launching an EC2 instance with appropriate security groups allowing SSH and MySQL traffic. Then, you'll install MySQL, retrieve the temporary root password, secure the installation, and create a dedicated database user with remote access privileges. Finally, you'll test remote connectivity using the MySQL command-line client. By the end of this lab, you'll have the skills to set up a secure, remotely accessible MySQL database server in the cloud.
