RDS
RDS does not have any default values. When the RDS resource has a schedule with no active periods, the system will try to turn off the resource.
Supported RDS Types
SkySaver supports scheduling for multiple RDS resource types:
| Type | Start/Stop | Instance Type Changes | Serverless Scaling |
|---|---|---|---|
| RDS Instances | ✅ | ✅ | N/A |
| Aurora Clusters | ✅ | ✅ | N/A |
| Aurora Serverless v2 | N/A (always on) | N/A | ✅ Min/Max ACU |
For period-specific configuration options like instance type changes and serverless scaling, see RDS Period Settings.
Multi-AZ RDS clusters that are not Aurora and not serverless cannot be stopped by SkySaver. This is an AWS limitation - standard Multi-AZ deployments do not support stopping. Consider using Aurora or Aurora Serverless for schedulable Multi-AZ databases.
Ignore Maintenance Window
If set, operations performed by this cluster will ignore the maintenance window. If this value is not set (or set to true, the default), operations will proceed immediately without waiting for the maintenance window.
