For this task, create one `publicly` accessible RDS instance using a free tier template along with the following details:

* The name of the RDS instance must be `xfusion-rds`.
* The engine type must be `MySQL v8.0.36`, and it must be a `db.t3.micro` type instance.
* The master username must be `xfusion_admin` and set some appropriate password.
* RDS storage type must be `gp2` and storage size must be `5GiB`.
* Keep the rest of the configurations as `default`. Finally, make sure the instance is in `available` state before submitting this task.
