aws	AWS: aws_db_instance	docs-aws-resource-db-instance	Provides an RDS instance resource.

aws_db_instance

Provides an RDS instance resource. A DB instance is an isolated database environment in the cloud. A DB instance can contain multiple user-created databases.

Changes to a DB instance can occur when you manually change a parameter, such as allocated_storage, and are reflected in the next maintenance window. Because of this, Terraform may report a difference in its planning phase because a modification has not yet taken place. You can use the apply_immediately flag to instruct the service to apply the change immediately (see documentation below).

~> Note: using apply_immediately can result in a brief downtime as the server reboots. See the AWS Docs on RDS Maintenance for more information.

Example Usage

resource "aws_db_instance" "default" {
  allocated_storage    = 10
  engine               = "mysql"
  engine_version       = "5.6.17"
  instance_class       = "db.t1.micro"
  name                 = "mydb"
  username             = "foo"
  password             = "bar"
  db_subnet_group_name = "my_database_subnet_group"
  parameter_group_name = "default.mysql5.6"
}

Argument Reference

For more detailed documentation about each argument, refer to the AWS official documentation.

The following arguments are supported:

• allocated_storage - (Required unless a snapshot_identifier or replicate_source_db is provided) The allocated storage in gigabytes.
• engine - (Required unless a snapshot_identifier or replicate_source_db is provided) The database engine to use.
• engine_version - (Optional) The engine version to use.
• identifier - (Optional) The name of the RDS instance, if omitted, Terraform will assign a random, unique name
• instance_class - (Required) The instance type of the RDS instance.
• storage_type - (Optional) One of "standard" (magnetic), "gp2" (general purpose SSD), or "io1" (provisioned IOPS SSD). The default is "io1" if iops is specified, "standard" if not.
• final_snapshot_identifier - (Optional) The name of your final DB snapshot when this DB instance is deleted. If omitted, no final snapshot will be made.
• skip_final_snapshot - (Optional) Determines whether a final DB snapshot is created before the DB instance is deleted. If true is specified, no DBSnapshot is created. If false is specified, a DB snapshot is created before the DB instance is deleted, using the value from final_snapshot_identifier. Default is true.
• copy_tags_to_snapshot – (Optional, boolean) On delete, copy all Instance tags to the final snapshot (if final_snapshot_identifier is specified). Default false
• name - (Optional) The DB name to create. If omitted, no database is created initially.
• password - (Required unless a snapshot_identifier or replicate_source_db is provided) Password for the master DB user. Note that this may show up in logs, and it will be stored in the state file.
• username - (Required unless a snapshot_identifier or replicate_source_db is provided) Username for the master DB user.
• availability_zone - (Optional) The AZ for the RDS instance.
• backup_retention_period - (Optional) The days to retain backups for. Must be 1 or greater to be a source for a Read Replica.
• backup_window - (Optional) The backup window.
• iops - (Optional) The amount of provisioned IOPS. Setting this implies a storage_type of "io1".
• maintenance_window - (Optional) The window to perform maintenance in. Syntax: "ddd:hh24:mi-ddd:hh24:mi". Eg: "Mon:00:00-Mon:03:00". See RDS Maintenance Window docs for more.
• multi_az - (Optional) Specifies if the RDS instance is multi-AZ
• port - (Optional) The port on which the DB accepts connections.
• publicly_accessible - (Optional) Bool to control if instance is publicly accessible. Defaults to false.
• vpc_security_group_ids - (Optional) List of VPC security groups to associate.
• security_group_names - (Optional/Deprecated) List of DB Security Groups to associate. Only used for DB Instances on the EC2-Classic Platform.
• db_subnet_group_name - (Optional) Name of DB subnet group. DB instance will be created in the VPC associated with the DB subnet group. If unspecified, will be created in the default VPC, or in EC2 Classic, if available.
• parameter_group_name - (Optional) Name of the DB parameter group to associate.
• option_group_name - (Optional) Name of the DB option group to associate.
• storage_encrypted - (Optional) Specifies whether the DB instance is encrypted. The default is false if not specified.
• apply_immediately - (Optional) Specifies whether any database modifications are applied immediately, or during the next maintenance window. Default is false. See Amazon RDS Documentation for more information.
• replicate_source_db - (Optional) Specifies that this resource is a Replicate database, and to use this value as the source database. This correlates to the identifier of another Amazon RDS Database to replicate. See DB Instance Replication and Working with PostgreSQL and MySQL Read Replicas for more information on using Replication.
• snapshot_identifier - (Optional) Specifies whether or not to create this database from a snapshot. This correlates to the snapshot ID you'd find in the RDS console, e.g: rds:production-2015-06-26-06-05.
• license_model - (Optional, but required for some DB engines, i.e. Oracle SE1) License model information for this DB instance.
• auto_minor_version_upgrade - (Optional) Indicates that minor engine upgrades will be applied automatically to the DB instance during the maintenance window. Defaults to true.
• allow_major_version_upgrade - (Optional) Indicates that major version upgrades are allowed. Changing this parameter does not result in an outage and the change is asynchronously applied as soon as possible.
• monitoring_role_arn - (Optional) The ARN for the IAM role that permits RDS to send enhanced monitoring metrics to CloudWatch Logs. You can find more information on the AWS Documentation what IAM permissions are needed to allow Enhanced Monitoring for RDS Instances.
• monitoring_interval - (Optional) The interval, in seconds, between points when Enhanced Monitoring metrics are collected for the DB instance. To disable collecting Enhanced Monitoring metrics, specify 0. The default is 0. Valid Values: 0, 1, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60.
• kms_key_id - (Optional) The ARN for the KMS encryption key.
• character_set_name - (Optional) The character set name to use for DB encoding in Oracle instances. This can't be changed. Oracle Character Sets Supported in Amazon RDS
• tags - (Optional) A mapping of tags to assign to the resource.

~> NOTE: Removing the replicate_source_db attribute from an existing RDS Replicate database managed by Terraform will promote the database to a fully standalone database.
