You need to set your `DB_HOST`, `DB_USERNAME`, and `DB_PASSWORD` as usual of course to match your RDS credentials.

Also set `db_create` to `false`. The main difference with a remote db is you need to make sure the database is already create outside of Trellis.

Note that some changes are coming to this workflow. See [https://github.com/roots/trellis/pull/239](https://github.com/roots/trellis/pull/239)
