Options¶

--engine (string)

The name of the engine to retrieve DB instance options for.

Valid Values:

aurora (for MySQL 5.6-compatible Aurora)

aurora-mysql (for MySQL 5.7-compatible Aurora)

aurora-postgresql

mariadb

mysql

oracle-ee

oracle-ee-cdb

oracle-se2

oracle-se2-cdb

postgres

sqlserver-ee

sqlserver-se

sqlserver-ex

sqlserver-web

--engine-version (string)

The engine version filter value. Specify this parameter to show only the available offerings matching the specified engine version.

--db-instance-class (string)

The DB instance class filter value. Specify this parameter to show only the available offerings matching the specified DB instance class.

--license-model (string)

The license model filter value. Specify this parameter to show only the available offerings matching the specified license model.

RDS Custom supports only the BYOL licensing model.

--availability-zone-group (string)

The Availability Zone group associated with a Local Zone. Specify this parameter to retrieve available offerings for the Local Zones in the group.

Omit this parameter to show the available offerings in the specified Amazon Web Services Region.

This setting doesn’t apply to RDS Custom.

--vpc | --no-vpc (boolean)

A value that indicates whether to show only VPC or non-VPC offerings. RDS Custom supports only VPC offerings.

RDS Custom supports only VPC offerings. If you describe non-VPC offerings for RDS Custom, the output shows VPC offerings.

--filters (list)

This parameter isn’t currently supported.

(structure)

A filter name and value pair that is used to return a more specific list of results from a describe operation. Filters can be used to match a set of resources by specific criteria, such as IDs. The filters supported by a describe operation are documented with the describe operation.

Note

Currently, wildcards are not supported in filters.

The following actions can be filtered:

DescribeDBClusterBacktracks

DescribeDBClusterEndpoints

DescribeDBClusters

DescribeDBInstances

DescribePendingMaintenanceActions

Name -> (string)

The name of the filter. Filter names are case-sensitive.

Values -> (list)

One or more filter values. Filter values are case-sensitive.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

Name=string,Values=string,string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Name": "string",
    "Values": ["string", ...]
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command’s output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command’s output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command’s output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

To describe orderable DB instance options

The following describe-orderable-db-instance-options example retrieves details about the orderable options for a DB instances running the MySQL DB engine.

aws rds describe-orderable-db-instance-options \
    --engine mysql

Output:
