Security
Authentication
IAM roles can be used to connect to your database, however username and password can be used to connect to database, though discouraged.
At-rest encryption
Database master and replicas can be encrypted using KMS, configured before launch.
Read Replicas can only be encrypted if master is encrypted.
To enable encryption on a unencrypted database, one has to take a snapshot, restore as encrypted.
In-flight encryption
TLS-ready by default, use AWS TLS root certificate at client side.
