MySQL
Connect to MySQL databases from Airplane tasks and runbooks.
The MySQL resource allows tasks to connect to a MySQL database. For a high-level introduction to
resources, see the resources page.
Creating a MySQL resource
To create a new MySQL resource, visit resources
for your team, click the "New" button, and select the MySQL resource type. Enter your connection
details in the form:

Name should be a human-readable name for your resource. You'll use this name to later reference
this resource in tasks.
Host should be the IP address or DNS name of your database. Unless you're connecting to this
database behind a self-hosted agent (see Private Networking below), this should be the public IP
address and/or the public DNS name of the database.
IP whitelisting
If your database has restrictions on incoming network connections, you'll need to ensure the
Airplane IP addresses are whitelisted:
- 34.121.89.145
- 34.68.100.27
- 34.72.182.225
Private networking
To connect to a database inside a private VPC, you can self-host the agent and
run the agent within your own VPC. Since tasks and SQL queries run on agents, these tasks will run
from within your network and be able to connect.
