rds – create, delete, or modify an Amazon rds instance

Synopsis

  • Creates, deletes, or modifies rds instances. When creating an instance it can be either a new instance or a read-only replica of an existing instance. This module has a dependency on python-boto >= 2.5. The ‘promote’ command requires boto >= 2.18.0. Certain features such as tags rely on boto.rds2 (boto >= 2.26.0)

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • boto
  • python >= 2.6

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

apply_immediately

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Used only when command=modify. If enabled, the modifications will be applied as soon as possible rather than waiting for the next preferred maintenance window.

Use a botocore.endpoint logger to parse the unique (rather than total) "resource:action" API calls made during a task, outputing the set to the resource_actions key in the task results. Use the aws_resource_action callback to output to total list made during a playbook. The ANSIBLE_DEBUG_BOTOCORE_LOGS environment variable may also be used.

ec2_url

string

Url to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL environment variable, if any, is used.

Specifies if this is a Multi-availability-zone deployment. Can not be used in conjunction with zone parameter. Used only when command=create or command=modify.

new_instance_name

-

Name to rename an instance to. Used only when command=modify.

option_group

-

The name of the option group to use. If not specified then the default option group is used. Used only when command=create.

Notes

Note

  • If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence AWS_URL or EC2_URL, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY or EC2_SECRET_KEY, AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN, AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION
  • Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
  • AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
