Can't connect to MariaDB

Question

So I have two AWS servers in question, one is running MariaDB and the other is my API server (python based). I can connect just fine locally on the MariaDB server as well as my dev computer. I cannot connect from the API server nor a third AWS server.

netstat output

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State        PID/Program name
tcp        0      0 *:mysql                 *:*                     LISTEN      1363/mysqld

ngrep on API server shows

interface: eth0 (10.[api ip]/255.255.255.0)
filter: (ip or ip6) and ( port 3306 )
##########

ngrep on Maria Server

interface: eth0 ([maria ip]/255.255.255.0)
filter: (ip or ip6) and ( port 3306 )

Eventually I get this error

ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '[maria ip]' (110 "Connection timed out")

or from my python script

Exception happened during processing of request from ('127.0.0.1', 50110)

----------------------------------------

Before somebody mentions it, my IP tables are set correctly and AWS SecGrps are not the issue either.

This is not a duplicate of Trying to connect to remote MySQL host (error 2003) as (1) there are no (logical) devices between the server, (2) I can connect from my Dev station on the other side of the country, and (3) none of the "fixes" worked.

Also I can connect from API script to Redis Server running on my maria server.

I think you have to follow these steps as below:

Allow remote connect on MariaDB AWS server on 3306 port (depend on your config)
Check the Firewall (Security Group --> Inbound setting) on your Maria AWS server, this server have to allow access via 3306 port from IP address of API Server.
Check the Firewall (Security Group --> Oubound setting. By default AWS server allow all ports) on your API AWS server.
