How do you access an Amazon RDS instance from a chromebook?

I have accepted the "Chromebook challenge." So far, I have successfully ssh'ed into my new Google Compute Engine from ChromeOS's built in ssh terminal. But now I am faced with the task of connecting to an Amazon RDS (relational database service) instance that a consulting client has set up for me. I have found no tutorials how to do this. I don't know if I should be ssh'ing into the RDS, or what.

Has anyone else done this successfully?

Aha, so there is no way of ssh-ing to an RDS instance directly (Chromebook or otherwise), as Fredrick mentioned.

That said, I have accomplished all I needed by ssh-ing from my Chromebook into my Google Compute Engine, and then hopping from there to my RDS instance, using the standard:

me@myserver$mysql -h myrdsinstanceaddress -P 3306 -u root -p

So, the crux is that you have to ssh into some other server, and then work from there.
