Summary
This is the write half of RDS, including the calls that delete things.
Beyond reading what exists, it creates and deletes clusters, instances and snapshots, forces a failover, and restores from a snapshot or to a point in time. Parameter groups get their own full set, which is where most day-to-day tuning actually lives.
What it is
The official AWS Labs server for managing RDS resources. Alongside the tools it publishes resource templates that list the clusters and instances in your account and describe any one of them.
What you get
- Clusters: CreateDBCluster, ModifyDBCluster, DeleteDBCluster, DescribeDBClusters, and ChangeDBClusterStatus to start, stop or reboot one
- Availability: FailoverDBCluster forces a failover
- Snapshots and recovery: CreateDBClusterSnapshot, DeleteDBClusterSnapshot, RestoreDBClusterFromSnapshot and RestoreDBClusterToPointInTime
- Instances: CreateDBInstance, ModifyDBInstance, DeleteDBInstance, DescribeDBInstances and ManageDBInstanceStatus
- Cluster parameter groups: CreateDBClusterParameterGroup, ModifyDBClusterParameterGroup, ResetDBClusterParameterGroup and DescribeDBClusterParamGroups
- Instance parameter groups: CreateDBInstanceParamGroup, ModifyDBInstanceParamGroup, ResetDBInstanceParameterGroup and DescribeDBInstanceParamGroups
Requirements
AWS credentials for the account whose RDS resources it should manage, with permission over the clusters, instances and parameter groups you want it to touch.
