title: Amazon AWS RDS: how to make the database Publicly Accessible to the internet
body: <p>I have a database running inside AWS, region South America (Sao Paulo) that I could access with no problems from anywhere in the internet.</p>
  
  <p>Then I wanted to create the same database on US East (North Virginia), but I wasn't able to access it from the internet. I compared creating a database on both regions to see the diferences and noticed the US East region doesn't list me any VPC to make it available to the internet.</p>

  <p>I've been trying to create this VPC with subnet DB, etc, but no success! Anybody know what steps I need to do in order to make the database available to the internet?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
