How to Manually Resolve

This particular AWS Config Rule will focus on RDS DB Security Groups - you may find your RDS Instances all reside in a VPC and therefore use VPC Security Groups - this Config Rule is quite focused on legacy builds and may not be use for modern builds using Amazon RDS.


If you have resources in EC2-Classic which needs migrating to VPC, we recommend that you follow this AWS Blog which details the steps to migrate or recreate resources in a VPC.


This is because it is not possible to create a new RDS DB Security Group if you have an RDS DB using the default RDS DB Security Group.
