aws_rds_cluster_instance

Provides an RDS Cluster Resource Instance. A Cluster Instance Resource defines attributes that are specific to a single instance in a RDS Cluster, specifically running Amazon Aurora.

Unlike other RDS resources that support replication, with Amazon Aurora you do not designate a primary and subsequent replicas. Instead, you simply add RDS Instances and Aurora manages the replication. You can use the count meta-parameter to make multiple instances and join them all to the same RDS Cluster, or you may specify different Cluster Instance resources with various instance_class sizes.

For more information on Amazon Aurora, see Aurora on Amazon RDS in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

Example Usage 

resource "aws_rds_cluster_instance" "cluster_instances" {
  count              = 2
  identifier         = "aurora-cluster-demo-${count.index}"
  cluster_identifier = "${aws_rds_cluster.default.id}"
  instance_class     = "db.r3.large"
}

resource "aws_rds_cluster" "default" {
  cluster_identifier = "aurora-cluster-demo"
  availability_zones = ["us-west-2a", "us-west-2b", "us-west-2c"]
  database_name      = "mydb"
  master_username    = "foo"
  master_password    = "barbut8chars"
}

Argument Reference

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

The following arguments are supported:

  • identifier - (Optional, Forces new resource) The indentifier for the RDS instance, if omitted, Terraform will assign a random, unique identifier.
  • identifier_prefix - (Optional, Forces new resource) Creates a unique identifier beginning with the specified prefix. Conflicts with identifer.
  • cluster_identifier - (Required) The identifier of the aws_rds_cluster in which to launch this instance.
  • engine - (Optional) The name of the database engine to be used for the RDS instance. Defaults to aurora. Valid Values: aurora, aurora-mysql, aurora-postgresql. For information on the difference between the available Aurora MySQL engines see Comparison between Aurora MySQL 1 and Aurora MySQL 2 in the Amazon RDS User Guide.
  • engine_version - (Optional) The database engine version.
  • instance_class - (Required) The instance class to use. For details on CPU and memory, see Scaling Aurora DB Instances. Aurora currently supports the below instance classes.
    • db.t2.small
    • db.t2.medium
    • db.r3.large
    • db.r3.xlarge
    • db.r3.2xlarge
    • db.r3.4xlarge
    • db.r3.8xlarge
    • db.r4.large
    • db.r4.xlarge
    • db.r4.2xlarge
    • db.r4.4xlarge
    • db.r4.8xlarge
    • db.r4.16xlarge
  • publicly_accessible - (Optional) Bool to control if instance is publicly accessible. Default false. See the documentation on Creating DB Instances for more details on controlling this property.
  • db_subnet_group_name - (Required if publicly_accessible = false, Optional otherwise) A DB subnet group to associate with this DB instance. NOTE: This must match the db_subnet_group_name of the attached aws_rds_cluster.
  • db_parameter_group_name - (Optional) The name of the DB parameter group to associate with this instance.
  • apply_immediately - (Optional) Specifies whether any database modifications are applied immediately, or during the next maintenance window. Default isfalse.
  • 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.
  • promotion_tier - (Optional) Default 0. Failover Priority setting on instance level. The reader who has lower tier has higher priority to get promoter to writer.
  • availability_zone - (Optional, Computed) The EC2 Availability Zone that the DB instance is created in. See docs about the details.
  • preferred_backup_window - (Optional) The daily time range during which automated backups are created if automated backups are enabled. Eg: "04:00-09:00"
  • preferred_maintenance_window - (Optional) The window to perform maintenance in. Syntax: "ddd:hh24:mi-ddd:hh24:mi". Eg: "Mon:00:00-Mon:03:00".
  • auto_minor_version_upgrade - (Optional) Indicates that minor engine upgrades will be applied automatically to the DB instance during the maintenance window. Default true.
  • performance_insights_enabled - (Optional) Specifies whether Performance Insights is enabled or not.
  • performance_insights_kms_key_id - (Optional) The ARN for the KMS key to encrypt Performance Insights data. When specifying performance_insights_kms_key_id, performance_insights_enabled needs to be set to true.
  • tags - (Optional) A mapping of tags to assign to the instance.

Attributes Reference

In addition to all arguments above, the following attributes are exported:

Timeouts

aws_rds_cluster_instance provides the following Timeouts configuration options:

  • create - (Default 90 minutes) Used for Creating Instances, Replicas, and restoring from Snapshots
  • update - (Default 90 minutes) Used for Database modifications
  • delete - (Default 90 minutes) Used for destroying databases. This includes the time required to take snapshots

Import

RDS Cluster Instances can be imported using the identifier, e.g.

$ terraform import aws_rds_cluster_instance.prod_instance_1 aurora-cluster-instance-1
