MySQL Databases with Amazon

So I’ve recently started working with a client that has a WordPress site run totally off Amazon Cloud Services. As part of some new work I’m doing for them, I need to directly access the database.

I looked at the most recent bill, and the charges I see from amazon are for:

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

Amazon CloudFront

AWS Data Transfer

Amazon Simple Storage Service

Amazon SimpleDB (however the charge is $0.00)

I see no charges for RDS or for another database service they provide, however, the wp-config lists localhost as the connection info.

So my question is, is there a way to setup a MySQL database on one of these services? I’m thinking no, and it’s possible the database is on another account?

Any help is appreciated!

  1. Yes, Elastic Compute Cloud (ec2). AWS does over an RDS service for a managed MySQL option, but you don’t have to host it that way. Currently it appears MySQL is hosted on the same instance as WordPress is installed on.
