I understand the article up until the part where it says apply the application template to a node. What is the node supposed to be? Do I just create a dummy external node to apply the template to?

Dummy nodes work well for cloud-stuff. Trying a external or ping-only node with something obvious in the caption "$service} API/SAM Monitoring host" etc

You will want to create an external node and name it the same as the instance name in RDS. Then you will assign to policy template that you create.
