<Note>
For Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, Amazon recommends that you set the instance's **Public access** setting to **No** by default, as this
approach is more secure. This means that no
resources can connect to the instance outside of the instance's associated Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) without extra configuration.
[Learn more](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_VPC.WorkingWithRDSInstanceinaVPC.html#USER_VPC.Hiding).
[Access an Amazon RDS instance in a VPC](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_VPC.Scenarios.html).

If you must enable public access, set the instance's **Public access** setting to **Yes**, and then adjust the instance's related
security group to allow this access.

</Note>

- A database in the instance.

- For Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL and Azure Database for PostgreSQL, the default database name is `postgres` unless a custom database name was specified during the instance creation process.
