connecting-to-data-source

Create and troubleshoot AWS Glue connections to JDBC databases (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, RDS), Redshift, Snowflake, and BigQuery. Gathers connection hints from user, discovers existing connections and RDS/Redshift candidates, registers credentials in Secrets Manager or IAM DB auth, configures VPC, and tests. Triggers on: connect to database, set up Glue connection, register data source, connect to Snowflake/BigQuery/RDS, connection timeout, test connection, troubleshoot connection. Do NOT use for moving data (use ingesting-into-data-lake), creating tables (use creating-data-lake-table), queries (use querying-data-lake), catalog exploration (use exploring-data-catalog), or SaaS (Salesforce, ServiceNow, SAP, MongoDB, Kafka).
