AWS RDS Terraform module
Terraform module which creates RDS resources on AWS.
Root module calls these modules which can also be used separately to create independent resources:
- db_instance - creates RDS DB instance
- db_subnet_group - creates RDS DB subnet group
- db_parameter_group - creates RDS DB parameter group
- db_option_group - creates RDS DB option group

# Enhanced Monitoring - see example for details on how to create the role
# by yourself, in case you don't want to create it automatically

Conditional creation
The following values are provided to toggle on/off creation of the associated resources as desired:
module "db" {
source = "terraform-aws-modules/rds/aws"
# Disable creation of RDS instance(s)
create_db_instance = false
# Disable creation of option group - provide an option group or default AWS default
create_db_option_group = false
# Disable creation of parameter group - provide a parameter group or default to AWS default
create_db_parameter_group = false
# Enable creation of subnet group (disabled by default)
create_db_subnet_group = true
# Enable creation of monitoring IAM role
create_monitoring_role = true
# ... omitted
}
Option Groups
Users have the ability to:
- Create an option group with the name provided:
option_group_name = "prod-instance-mysql-8.0"
option_group_use_name_prefix = false
- Create an option group using a unique prefix beginning with the name provided:
option_group_name = "prod-instance-mysql-8.0"
- Pass the name of an option group to use that has been created outside of the module:
create_db_option_group = false
option_group_name = "prod-instance-mysql-8.0" # must already exist in AWS
- Skip creating an option group for PostgreSQL entirely as that is not supported
engine = "postgres"
option_group_name = "prod-instance-postgresql-11.0" # this will be ignored, no option group created
- Use a default option group provided by AWS
create_db_option_group = false
Parameter Groups
Users have the ability to:
- Create a parameter group with the name provided:
parameter_group_name = "prod-instance-mysql-8.0"
parameter_group_use_name_prefix = false
- Create a parameter group using a unique prefix beginning with the name provided:
parameter_group_name = "prod-instance-mysql-8.0"
- Pass the name of a parameter group to use that has been created outside of the module:
create_db_parameter_group = false
parameter_group_name = "prod-instance-mysql-8.0" # must already exist in AWS
- Use a default parameter group provided by AWS
create_db_parameter_group = false
