Permanent options, such as the TDE option for Oracle Advanced Security TDE, can't be removed from an option group. Also, that option group can't be removed from a DB instance after it is associated with a DB instance.

This setting doesn't apply to Amazon Aurora or RDS Custom DB instances.

CharacterSetName

For supported engines, the character set (CharacterSet) to associate the DB instance with.

This setting doesn't apply to the following DB instances:

  • Amazon Aurora - The character set is managed by the DB cluster. For more information, see create_db_cluster.

  • RDS Custom - However, if you need to change the character set, you can change it on the database itself.

NcharCharacterSetName

The name of the NCHAR character set for the Oracle DB instance.

This setting doesn't apply to RDS Custom DB instances.

PubliclyAccessible

Specifies whether the DB instance is publicly accessible.

When the DB instance is publicly accessible and you connect from outside of the DB instance's virtual private cloud (VPC), its Domain Name System (DNS) endpoint resolves to the public IP address. When you connect from within the same VPC as the DB instance, the endpoint resolves to the private IP address. Access to the DB instance is ultimately controlled by the security group it uses. That public access is not permitted if the security group assigned to the DB instance doesn't permit it.

When the DB instance isn't publicly accessible, it is an internal DB instance with a DNS name that resolves to a private IP address.

Default: The default behavior varies depending on whether DBSubnetGroupName is specified.

If DBSubnetGroupName isn't specified, and PubliclyAccessible isn't specified, the following applies:

  • If the default VPC in the target Region doesn’t have an internet gateway attached to it, the DB instance is private.

  • If the default VPC in the target Region has an internet gateway attached to it, the DB instance is public.

If DBSubnetGroupName is specified, and PubliclyAccessible isn't specified, the following applies:

  • If the subnets are part of a VPC that doesn’t have an internet gateway attached to it, the DB instance is private.

  • If the subnets are part of a VPC that has an internet gateway attached to it, the DB instance is public.

Tags

Tags to assign to the DB instance.

DBClusterIdentifier

The identifier of the DB cluster that this DB instance will belong to.

This setting doesn't apply to RDS Custom DB instances.

StorageType

The storage type to associate with the DB instance.

If you specify io1, io2, or gp3, you must also include a value for the Iops parameter.

This setting doesn't apply to Amazon Aurora DB instances. Storage is managed by the DB cluster.

Valid Values: gp2 | gp3 | io1 | io2 | standard

Default: io1, if the Iops parameter is specified. Otherwise, gp2.

TdeCredentialArn

The ARN from the key store with which to associate the instance for TDE encryption.

This setting doesn't apply to Amazon Aurora or RDS Custom DB instances.

TdeCredentialPassword

The password for the given ARN from the key store in order to access the device.

This setting doesn't apply to RDS Custom DB instances.

StorageEncrypted

Specifes whether the DB instance is encrypted. By default, it isn't encrypted.

For RDS Custom DB instances, either enable this setting or leave it unset. Otherwise, Amazon RDS reports an error.

This setting doesn't apply to Amazon Aurora DB instances. The encryption for DB instances is managed by the DB cluster.

KmsKeyId

The Amazon Web Services KMS key identifier for an encrypted DB instance.

The Amazon Web Services KMS key identifier is the key ARN, key ID, alias ARN, or alias name for the KMS key. To use a KMS key in a different Amazon Web Services account, specify the key ARN or alias ARN.

This setting doesn't apply to Amazon Aurora DB instances. The Amazon Web Services KMS key identifier is managed by the DB cluster. For more information, see create_db_cluster.

If StorageEncrypted is enabled, and you do not specify a value for the KmsKeyId parameter, then Amazon RDS uses your default KMS key. There is a default KMS key for your Amazon Web Services account. Your Amazon Web Services account has a different default KMS key for each Amazon Web Services Region.

For Amazon RDS Custom, a KMS key is required for DB instances. For most RDS engines, if you leave this parameter empty while enabling StorageEncrypted, the engine uses the default KMS key. However, RDS Custom doesn't use the default key when this parameter is empty. You must explicitly specify a key.

Domain

The Active Directory directory ID to create the DB instance in. Currently, you can create only Db2, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and PostgreSQL DB instances in an Active Directory Domain.

For more information, see Kerberos Authentication in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

This setting doesn't apply to the following DB instances:

  • Amazon Aurora (The domain is managed by the DB cluster.)

  • RDS Custom

The IPv4 DNS IP addresses of your primary and secondary Active Directory domain controllers.

Constraints:

  • Two IP addresses must be provided. If there isn't a secondary domain controller, use the IP address of the primary domain controller for both entries in the list.

Example: 123.124.125.126,234.235.236.237

CopyTagsToSnapshot

Specifies whether to copy tags from the DB instance to snapshots of the DB instance. By default, tags are not copied.

This setting doesn't apply to Amazon Aurora DB instances. Copying tags to snapshots is managed by the DB cluster. Setting this value for an Aurora DB instance has no effect on the DB cluster setting.

MonitoringInterval

The interval, in seconds, between points when Enhanced Monitoring metrics are collected for the DB instance. To disable collection of Enhanced Monitoring metrics, specify 0.

If MonitoringRoleArn is specified, then you must set MonitoringInterval to a value other than 0.

This setting doesn't apply to RDS Custom DB instances.

Valid Values: 0 | 1 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 30 | 60

Default: 0

MonitoringRoleArn

The ARN for the IAM role that permits RDS to send enhanced monitoring metrics to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. For example, arn:aws:iam:123456789012:role/emaccess. For information on creating a monitoring role, see Setting Up and Enabling Enhanced Monitoring in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

A CoIP provides local or external connectivity to resources in your Outpost subnets through your on-premises network. For some use cases, a CoIP can provide lower latency for connections to the DB instance from outside of its virtual private cloud (VPC) on your local network.

For more information about RDS on Outposts, see Working with Amazon RDS on Amazon Web Services Outposts in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

For more information about CoIPs, see Customer-owned IP addresses in the Amazon Web Services Outposts User Guide.

CustomIamInstanceProfile

The instance profile associated with the underlying Amazon EC2 instance of an RDS Custom DB instance.

This setting is required for RDS Custom.

Constraints:

  • The profile must exist in your account.

  • The profile must have an IAM role that Amazon EC2 has permissions to assume.

  • The instance profile name and the associated IAM role name must start with the prefix AWSRDSCustom.

For the list of permissions required for the IAM role, see Configure IAM and your VPC in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

BackupTarget

The location for storing automated backups and manual snapshots.

Valid Values:

  • outposts (Amazon Web Services Outposts)

  • region (Amazon Web Services Region)

Default: region

For more information, see Working with Amazon RDS on Amazon Web Services Outposts in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

NetworkType

The network type of the DB instance.

The network type is determined by the DBSubnetGroup specified for the DB instance. A DBSubnetGroup can support only the IPv4 protocol or the IPv4 and the IPv6 protocols (DUAL).

For more information, see Working with a DB instance in a VPC in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

Valid Values: IPV4 | DUAL

StorageThroughput

The storage throughput value for the DB instance.

This setting applies only to the gp3 storage type.

This setting doesn't apply to Amazon Aurora or RDS Custom DB instances.

ManageMasterUserPassword

Specifies whether to manage the master user password with Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager.

For more information, see Password management with Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

Constraints:

  • Can't manage the master user password with Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager if MasterUserPassword is specified.

MasterUserSecretKmsKeyId

The Amazon Web Services KMS key identifier to encrypt a secret that is automatically generated and managed in Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager.

This setting is valid only if the master user password is managed by RDS in Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager for the DB instance.

The Amazon Web Services KMS key identifier is the key ARN, key ID, alias ARN, or alias name for the KMS key. To use a KMS key in a different Amazon Web Services account, specify the key ARN or alias ARN.

If you don't specify MasterUserSecretKmsKeyId, then the aws/secretsmanager KMS key is used to encrypt the secret. If the secret is in a different Amazon Web Services account, then you can't use the aws/secretsmanager KMS key to encrypt the secret, and you must use a customer managed KMS key.

There is a default KMS key for your Amazon Web Services account. Your Amazon Web Services account has a different default KMS key for each Amazon Web Services Region.

CACertificateIdentifier

The CA certificate identifier to use for the DB instance's server certificate.

This setting doesn't apply to RDS Custom DB instances.

For more information, see Using SSL/TLS to encrypt a connection to a DB instance in the Amazon RDS User Guide and Using SSL/TLS to encrypt a connection to a DB cluster in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

DBSystemId

The Oracle system identifier (SID), which is the name of the Oracle database instance that manages your database files. In this context, the term "Oracle database instance" refers exclusively to the system global area (SGA) and Oracle background processes. If you don't specify a SID, the value defaults to RDSCDB. The Oracle SID is also the name of your CDB.

DedicatedLogVolume

Indicates whether the DB instance has a dedicated log volume (DLV) enabled.

MultiTenant

Specifies whether to use the multi-tenant configuration or the single-tenant configuration (default). This parameter only applies to RDS for Oracle container database (CDB) engines.

Note the following restrictions:

  • The DB engine that you specify in the request must support the multi-tenant configuration. If you attempt to enable the multi-tenant configuration on a DB engine that doesn't support it, the request fails.

  • If you specify the multi-tenant configuration when you create your DB instance, you can't later modify this DB instance to use the single-tenant configuration.

EngineLifecycleSupport

The life cycle type for this DB instance.

By default, this value is set to open-source-rds-extended-support, which enrolls your DB instance into Amazon RDS Extended Support. At the end of standard support, you can avoid charges for Extended Support by setting the value to open-source-rds-extended-support-disabled. In this case, creating the DB instance will fail if the DB major version is past its end of standard support date.

This setting applies only to RDS for MySQL and RDS for PostgreSQL. For Amazon Aurora DB instances, the life cycle type is managed by the DB cluster.

You can use this setting to enroll your DB instance into Amazon RDS Extended Support. With RDS Extended Support, you can run the selected major engine version on your DB instance past the end of standard support for that engine version. For more information, see Using Amazon RDS Extended Support in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

Valid Values: open-source-rds-extended-support | open-source-rds-extended-support-disabled

Default: open-source-rds-extended-support
