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

New in version 1.3.

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 (on host that executes module)

  • python >= 2.6
  • boto
