How to get a local mysql dump of a specific AWS RDS Snapshot

Solution 1:

Is there a way to use this same command to return specific snapshot data.

Answer: No, if you want to use mysqldump on the snapshot, you should create it as an instance first.

You can also restore it as an instance from CLI/API and wait until completed, after you get the db host, you could use mysqldump to that snapshot. Here is the reference : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_RestoreFromSnapshot.html
