I found the post How to associate an existing RDS instance to an Elastic Beanstalk environment? and tried to associate my existing RDS instance to Elastic Beanstalk by following it:

First, creating a manual snapshot from my existing RDS instance, called existing-rds-to-elasticbeanstalk (check), notice it's storage size of 20 GB:
Then, going into the EB App Environment Configuration > Database and choosing it (check); At this point the values of the lower section are set by default and storage size is set to 5 GB (can not be changed, mysql engine version also wrong):
So I only give it a password, then click [Save] and [Apply].
I get the following deployment error:

Creating RDS database: ... failed Reason: Invalid storage size for engine name mysql and storage type gp2: 5

The question is how to actually make this process work. Amazon's documentation doesn't help.

The reason I'm trying to do this is just to have the `RDS_` environment variables so I don't save database credentials in my code repo, however I think I'm going to go with dotenv locally and add the env vars myself on EB config instead for that environment... – Jorge Orpinel Pérez Mar 07 '18 at 22:34
