The simplest way to verify that a connection is possible between a ROSA cluster and an Aurora DB cluster is to deploy
`psql` on the Openshift cluster and attempt to connect to the writer endpoint.

The following command creates a pod in the default namespace and establishes a `psql` connection with the Aurora cluster if possible.
Upon exiting the pod shell, the pod is deleted.

[source,bash]

USER=keycloak # <1>
PASSWORD=secret99 # <2>
DATABASE=keycloak # <3>
HOST=$(aws rds describe-db-clusters \
  --db-cluster-identifier keycloak-aurora \#<4>
  --query 'DBClusters[*].Endpoint' \
  --region eu-west-1 \
  --output text
)
kubectl run -i --tty --rm debug --image=postgres:15 --restart=Never -- psql postgresql://${USER}:${PASSWORD}@${HOST}/${DATABASE}

<1> Aurora DB user, this can be the same as `--master-username` used when creating the DB.
<2> Aurora DB user-password, this can be the same as `--master--user-password` used when creating the DB.
<3> The name of the Aurora DB, such as `--database-name`.
<4> The name of your Aurora DB cluster.
