--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.

--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.

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 .

AwsBackupRecoveryPointArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the recovery point in Amazon Web Services Backup.

ActivityStreamStatus -> (string)

The status of the database activity stream.

ActivityStreamKmsKeyId -> (string)

The Amazon Web Services KMS key identifier used for encrypting messages in the database activity stream. The Amazon Web Services KMS key identifier is the key ARN, key ID, alias ARN, or alias name for the KMS key.

ActivityStreamKinesisStreamName -> (string)

The name of the Amazon Kinesis data stream used for the database activity stream.

ActivityStreamMode -> (string)

The mode of the database activity stream. Database events such as a change or access generate an activity stream event. RDS for Oracle always handles these events asynchronously.

ActivityStreamEngineNativeAuditFieldsIncluded -> (boolean)

Indicates whether engine-native audit fields are included in the database activity stream.

AutomationMode -> (string)

The automation mode of the RDS Custom DB instance: full or all paused . If full , the DB instance automates monitoring and instance recovery. If all paused , the instance pauses automation for the duration set by --resume-full-automation-mode-minutes .

ResumeFullAutomationModeTime -> (timestamp)

The number of minutes to pause the automation. When the time period ends, RDS Custom resumes full automation. The minimum value is 60 (default). The maximum value is 1,440.

CustomIamInstanceProfile -> (string)

The instance profile associated with the underlying Amazon EC2 instance of an RDS Custom DB instance. The instance profile must meet the following requirements:

  • 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 -> (string)

Specifies where automated backups and manual snapshots are stored: Amazon Web Services Outposts or the Amazon Web Services Region.

NetworkType -> (string)

The network type of the DB instance.

Valid values:

  • IPV4

  • DUAL

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 ).
