rds_delete_db_instance: The DeleteDBInstance action deletes a previously provisioned DB instance

Description

The DeleteDBInstance action deletes a previously provisioned DB instance. When you delete a DB instance, all automated backups for that instance are deleted and can't be recovered. Manual DB snapshots of the DB instance to be deleted by DeleteDBInstance are not deleted.

Usage

rds_delete_db_instance(DBInstanceIdentifier, SkipFinalSnapshot,
  FinalDBSnapshotIdentifier, DeleteAutomatedBackups)

Arguments

DBInstanceIdentifier

[required] The DB instance identifier for the DB instance to be deleted. This parameter isn't case-sensitive.

Constraints:

  • Must match the name of an existing DB instance.

SkipFinalSnapshot

A value that indicates whether to skip the creation of a final DB snapshot before the DB instance is deleted. If skip is specified, no DB snapshot is created. If skip is not specified, a DB snapshot is created before the DB instance is deleted. By default, skip is not specified, and the DB snapshot is created.

Note that when a DB instance is in a failure state and has a status of 'failed', 'incompatible-restore', or 'incompatible-network', it can only be deleted when skip is specified.

Specify skip when deleting a Read Replica.

The FinalDBSnapshotIdentifier parameter must be specified if skip is not specified.

FinalDBSnapshotIdentifier

The DBSnapshotIdentifier of the new DBSnapshot created when the SkipFinalSnapshot parameter is disabled.

Specifying this parameter and also specifying to skip final DB snapshot creation in SkipFinalShapshot results in an error.

Constraints:

  • Must be 1 to 255 letters or numbers.

  • First character must be a letter.

  • Can't end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.

  • Can't be specified when deleting a Read Replica.

DeleteAutomatedBackups

A value that indicates whether to remove automated backups immediately after the DB instance is deleted. This parameter isn't case-sensitive. The default is to remove automated backups immediately after the DB instance is deleted.

Request syntax

svc$delete_db_instance(
  DBInstanceIdentifier = "string",
  SkipFinalSnapshot = TRUE|FALSE,
  FinalDBSnapshotIdentifier = "string",
  DeleteAutomatedBackups = TRUE|FALSE
)

Details

If you request a final DB snapshot the status of the Amazon RDS DB instance is deleting until the DB snapshot is created. The API action DescribeDBInstance is used to monitor the status of this operation. The action can't be canceled or reverted once submitted.

Note that when a DB instance is in a failure state and has a status of failed, incompatible-restore, or incompatible-network, you can only delete it when you skip creation of the final snapshot with the SkipFinalSnapshot parameter.

If the specified DB instance is part of an Amazon Aurora DB cluster, you can't delete the DB instance if both of the following conditions are true:

  • The DB cluster is a Read Replica of another Amazon Aurora DB cluster.

  • The DB instance is the only instance in the DB cluster.

To delete a DB instance in this case, first call the PromoteReadReplicaDBCluster API action to promote the DB cluster so it's no longer a Read Replica. After the promotion completes, then call the DeleteDBInstance API action to delete the final instance in the DB cluster.
