Thanks for the guide, I’ve followed it sofar but got stuck on connecting to MySQL database. The cloudWatch tells me this:

I have followed the guide, except that I have my RDS on public. I have not skills in Lambda or Python so I just copied your code and inserted the required RDS credentials that is correct, I use the same to connect with MySQL workbench. What can be wrong?
