Hey team, I've got a quick question regarding connecting Airbyte to my RDS Postgres DB. Everything works fine when I am not using storage encryption. However, Airbyte cannot establish a connection when encrypting the RDS DB instance. Does Airbyte support this and does anyone know how to connect Airbyte to an encrypted RDS Postgres DB? Thanks a lot in advance for your support 🙂

Are you using SSL encryption or it’s a specific encryption from AWS RDS?

Hi @Marcos Marx (Airbyte), thanks for your reply. It is an AWS RDS specific encryption (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Overview.Encryption.html) that uses the AES-256 encryption algorithm.

@Timo Hartmann we're using airbyte with encrypted RDS postgres source databases. I'm not aware of anything special we had to do for these connections. The connectivity between the RDS database and airbyte should be over standard postgres SSL connections - might be worth checking that you have SSL enabled in your source configuration
