Latest ReleaseLast UpdatedSlack Community

Terraform module to provision an RDS Aurora instance group for MySQL or Postgres along with a dedicated endpoint.

Use this module together with our terraform-aws-rds-cluster to provision pools of RDS instances. This is useful for creating reporting clusters that don't impact the production databases.

Supports Amazon Aurora Serverless.

Tip

πŸ‘½ Use Atmos with Terraform

Cloud Posse uses atmos to easily orchestrate multiple environments using Terraform.
Works with Github Actions, Atlantis, or Spacelift.

Watch demo of using Atmos with Terraform
Example of running atmos to manage infrastructure from our Quick Start tutorial.

Usage

Basic example

module "rds_cluster_replicas" {
  source             = "git::https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-rds-cluster-instance-group.git?ref=master"
  name               = "postgres"
  namespace          = "eg"
  stage              = "dev"
  attributes         = ["replicas"]
  cluster_identifier = "eg-dev-db"
  cluster_size       = "2"
  db_port            = "5432"
  instance_type      = "db.r4.large"
  vpc_id             = "vpc-xxxxxxxx"
  security_groups    = ["sg-xxxxxxxx"]
  subnets            = ["subnet-xxxxxxxx", "subnet-xxxxxxxx"]
  zone_id            = "Zxxxxxxxx"
}

With cluster parameters

module "rds_cluster_reporting" {
  source             = "git::https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-rds-cluster-instance-group.git?ref=master"
  cluster_size       = "2"
  namespace          = "eg"
  stage              = "dev"
  name               = "db"
  attributes         = ["reporting"]
  cluster_identifier = "eg-dev-db"
  instance_type      = "db.t2.small"
  vpc_id             = "vpc-xxxxxxx"
  security_groups    = ["sg-xxxxxxxx"]
  subnets            = ["subnet-xxxxxxxx", "subnet-xxxxxxxx"]
  zone_id            = "Zxxxxxxxx"

  cluster_parameters = [
    {
      name  = "character_set_client"
      value = "utf8"
    },
    {
      name  = "character_set_connection"
      value = "utf8"
    },
    {
      name  = "character_set_database"
      value = "utf8"
    },
    {
      name  = "character_set_results"
      value = "utf8"
    },
    {
      name  = "character_set_server"
      value = "utf8"
    },
    {
      name  = "collation_connection"
      value = "uft8_bin"
    },
    {
      name  = "collation_server"
      value = "uft8_bin"
    },
    {
      name         = "lower_case_table_names"
      value        = "1"
      apply_method = "pending-reboot"
    },
    {
      name         = "skip-character-set-client-handshake"
      value        = "1"
      apply_method = "pending-reboot"
    },
  ]
}

With enhanced monitoring

# create IAM role for monitoring
resource "aws_iam_role" "enhanced_monitoring" {
  name               = "rds-cluster-example-1"
  assume_role_policy = "${data.aws_iam_policy_document.enhanced_monitoring.json}"
}

# Attach Amazon's managed policy for RDS enhanced monitoring
resource "aws_iam_role_policy_attachment" "enhanced_monitoring" {
  role       = "${aws_iam_role.enhanced_monitoring.name}"
  policy_arn = "arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/service-role/AmazonRDSEnhancedMonitoringRole"
}

# allow rds to assume this role
data "aws_iam_policy_document" "enhanced_monitoring" {
  statement {
      actions = [
      "sts:AssumeRole",
    ]

    effect = "Allow"

    principals {
      type        = "Service"
      identifiers = ["monitoring.rds.amazonaws.com"]
    }
  }
}

module "rds_cluster_reporting" {
  source             = "git::https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-rds-cluster-instance-group.git?ref=master"
  cluster_size       = "2"
  namespace          = "eg"
  stage              = "dev"
  name               = "db"
  attributes         = ["reporting"]
  cluster_identifier = "eg-dev-db"
  db_port            = "5432"
  instance_type      = "db.r4.large"
  vpc_id             = "vpc-xxxxxxx"
  security_groups    = ["sg-xxxxxxxx"]
  subnets            = ["subnet-xxxxxxxx", "subnet-xxxxxxxx"]
  zone_id            = "Zxxxxxxxx"

  # enable monitoring every 30 seconds
  rds_monitoring_interval = "30"

  # reference iam role created above
  rds_monitoring_role_arn = "${aws_iam_role.enhanced_monitoring.arn}"
}

Important

In Cloud Posse's examples, we avoid pinning modules to specific versions to prevent discrepancies between the documentation and the latest released versions. However, for your own projects, we strongly advise pinning each module to the exact version you're using. This practice ensures the stability of your infrastructure. Additionally, we recommend implementing a systematic approach for updating versions to avoid unexpected changes.
