Is it possible to connect to an RDS instance using AWS Systems Manager (SSM)? I've come across conflicting information—some sources say it's not supported, while others provide detailed run-books. Should I dive into this, or is it better to avoid it?

Yeah, you can definitely do this! You'll need a bastion EC2 instance to set up the tunneling, though. It's a workaround, but it works.
Got it! If I’m already setting up a bastion EC2, I can just connect to it with SSM and then use psql to access the database from there. I was hoping to skip the bastion part entirely. Thanks for the tip!
