To access a database with FME Cloud the database needs to be publicly accessible with a public IP or DNS name.

A publicly accessible database can be configured to only accept connections from FME Cloud if a static IP address is assigned to the FME Cloud instance. Here’s some documentation regarding static IP addresses: https://docs.safe.com/fme_cloud/FME_Cloud/Content/About_Instances/Assign-Static-IP-to-Instance.htm?

For RDS instances, Network ACLs for your VPC that only allow traffic between the RDS instance and FME Cloud could be an option for another layer of security.
