technical question

Post Body

Dear all, I have the following set up:

I am developing a simple python script that has the objective of updating an RDS database from time to time. The objective will be to deploy the script on an EC2 instance so it runs based on a cronjob.

What is the best way to develop it? Should I try to connect the code to the RDS instance directly ? But then the code will be different than the one running in the EC2 because the way to connect the EC2 to the RDS in the same VPN will be different.

What is the best way to organise my set up, so that I can develop my code and know that it will run in the same way as in the EC2 ?

Thanks
