Snapshot a DB Instance

with Amazon RDS · IT Infrastructure Management

Take a manual DB snapshot and wait for it to become available.

  1. Describe the source DB instance to confirm it exists and is in the available state before requesting a snapshot.
  2. Request a manual snapshot of the source DB instance using the supplied snapshot identifier.
  3. Describe the snapshot and inspect its status. While the snapshot is still creating the workflow loops back to poll again; once it is available the flow ends.
What you'll need to have ready
  • dbInstanceIdentifier: The identifier of the source DB instance to snapshot.
  • dbSnapshotIdentifier: The identifier to assign to the new manual DB snapshot.
For your developer
