community.aws.rds – create, delete, or modify Amazon rds instances, rds snapshots, and related facts

Note

This plugin is part of the community.aws collection.

To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.aws.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.aws.rds.

New in version 1.0.0: of community.aws

Synopsis

  • Creates, deletes, or modifies rds resources.
  • 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 and will soon be deprecated.
  • The ‘promote’ command requires boto >= 2.18.0. Certain features such as tags rely on boto.rds2 (boto >= 2.26.0).
  • Please use boto3 based community.aws.rds_instance instead.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • boto
  • python >= 2.6

Notes

Note

  • If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence AWS_URL or EC2_URL, AWS_PROFILE or AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY or EC2_SECRET_KEY, AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN, AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION, AWS_CA_BUNDLE
  • Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
  • AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
