Add an Aurora Replica Instance

with Amazon RDS · IT Infrastructure Management

Add a reader instance to an Aurora cluster and wait for it to become available.

  1. Describe the Aurora DB cluster to confirm it is available before adding a reader instance.
  2. Create a new DB instance that joins the existing Aurora cluster as a reader, using the cluster engine and supplied instance class.
  3. Describe the new reader instance and inspect its status. While it is still creating the workflow loops back to poll again; once it is available the flow ends.
What you'll need to have ready
  • dbClusterIdentifier: The identifier of the existing Aurora DB cluster to add a reader to.
  • dbInstanceIdentifier: The unique identifier for the new reader DB instance.
  • dbInstanceClass: The compute and memory capacity class for the reader (e.g. db.r5.large).
  • engine: The Aurora engine matching the cluster (aurora-mysql, aurora-postgresql).
