RDS
RDS has multiple variations, this dataset can support both instances based and serverless based RDS.
Multi-AZ RDS clusters that are not Aurora and not serverless cannot be stopped. This is an AWS limitation. These instances can still have instance type changes applied during periods.
Instance Type
If set, while the period is active the system will try to change the instance types being used by the RDS cluster or instances to this value.
Please note, this operation could potentially fail if you specify an instance type that is not available for a cluster with this period’s schedule name set.
Aurora Serverless v2 Scaling
For Aurora Serverless v2 clusters, you can configure capacity scaling during periods:
Min ACU
The minimum Aurora Capacity Units (ACU) for the serverless cluster during this period. Aurora Serverless v2 supports values from 0.5 to 128 ACU in 0.5 increments.
Max ACU
The maximum Aurora Capacity Units (ACU) for the serverless cluster during this period. Must be greater than or equal to Min ACU.
Example: Set Min ACU to 0.5 and Max ACU to 4 during off-hours to reduce costs, then increase to Min ACU 2 and Max ACU 16 during business hours for better performance.
