Amazon RDS: Should I Stop or Terminate? -
i have rds instance don't use lot, don't want delete them might need them in future. now, if stop instances, aws automatically starts them after 7 days.
so using aws cli , setting cron job automatically stop them after 7 days.
aws rds stop-db-instance --db-instance-identifier my-db-instance1
the same way other instances.
0 0 * * 7 /etc/cron.daily/script.sh
i don't believe best practice. can me understand how create config file has instance id's script reads , populates instance id's?
thanking in advance.
if use database , don't want starting again after 7 days, should create snapshot of instance , terminate it.
the instance not auto-start. need restore snapshot new database instance when wish use it, can done command-line.
