Connecting Robo 3T with DocumentDB outside AWS VPC.
Connecting to AWS Version on MongoDB with a Client.
Prerequisites
Overview
We will be using the EC2 instance to create a tunnel between our local machine and DocumentDB. The EC2 and DocumentDB must be in the same VPC and we must make sure that the security group for DocumentDB must have EC2 instance security group or IP in the inbound rule. This will give access to DocumentDB to the EC2 instance.
Add the inbound rule to EC2 as per your setup so that the local machine can access the EC2. If you are new, you can open the EC2 access to all protocols with the source as 0.0.0.0/0(this allows any user to access the EC2) in the inbound rules of the EC2’s security group.
