# AWS CloudFormation RDS Database
## Overview
Create production-ready Amazon RDS infrastructure using AWS CloudFormation templates. Covers RDS instances (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Aurora), DB clusters, multi-AZ deployments, parameter groups, subnet groups, security groups, and cross-stack references.
## When to Use
- Creating RDS instances (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Aurora) or DB clusters with read replicas
- Setting up multi-AZ deployments or configuring parameter/subnet groups
- Integrating with Secrets Manager or implementing cross-stack references
## Quick Reference
| Component | CloudFormation Type | Use Case |
|-----------|-------------------|----------|
| DB Instance | `AWS::RDS::DBInstance` | Single database instance |
| DB Cluster | `AWS::RDS::DBCluster` | Aurora cluster |
| DB Subnet Group | `AWS::RDS::DBSubnetGroup` | VPC deployment |
| Parameter Group | `AWS::RDS::DBParameterGroup` | Database configuration |
| Security Group | `AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup` | Network access control |
| Secrets Manager | `AWS::SecretsManager::Secret` | Credential storage |
## Instructions
### Step 1 — Define Database Parameters
Use AWS-specific parameter types for validation.
```yaml
Parameters:
DBInstanceClass:
Type: AWS::RDS::DBInstance::InstanceType
Default: db.t3.micro
AllowedValues: [db.t3.micro, db.t3.small, db.t3.medium]
Engine:
Type: String
Default: mysql
AllowedValues: [mysql, postgres, aurora-mysql, aurora-postgresql]
MasterUsername:
Type: String
Default: admin
AllowedPattern: "^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*$"
MinLength: 1
MaxLength: 16
MasterUserPassword:
Type: String
NoEcho: true
MinLength: 8
MaxLength: 41
```
See [template-structure.md](references/template-structure.md) for advanced parameter patterns, mappings, conditions, and cross-stack references.
### Step 2 — Create DB Subnet Group
Required for VPC deployment with subnets in different AZs.
```yaml
DBSubnetGroup:
Type: AWS::RDS::DBSubnetGroup
Properties:
DBSubnetGroupDescription: Subnet group for RDS
SubnetIds:
- !Ref PrivateSubnet1
- !Ref PrivateSubnet2
```
See [database-components.md](references/database-components.md) for parameter groups, option groups, and engine-specific configurations.
### Step 3 — Configure Security Group
Restrict access to application tier only.
```yaml
DBSecurityGroup:
Type: AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup
Properties:
GroupDescription: Security group for RDS
VpcId: !Ref VpcId
SecurityGroupIngress:
- IpProtocol: tcp
FromPort: 3306
ToPort: 3306
SourceSecurityGroupId: !Ref AppSecurityGroup
```
See [security-secrets.md](references/security-secrets.md) for VPC security groups, encryption, Secrets Manager integration, and IAM authentication.
### Step 4 — Launch RDS Instance
Configure instance with subnet group, security group, and settings.
```yaml
DBInstance:
Type: AWS::RDS::DBInstance
Properties:
DBInstanceIdentifier: !Sub "${AWS::StackName}-mysql"
DBInstanceClass: !Ref DBInstanceClass
Engine: !Ref Engine
MasterUsername: !Ref MasterUsername
MasterUserPassword: !Ref MasterUserPassword
AllocatedStorage: 20
StorageType: gp3
DBSubnetGroupName: !Ref DBSubnetGroup
VPCSecurityGroups: [!Ref DBSecurityGroup]
StorageEncrypted: true
MultiAZ: true
BackupRetentionPeriod: 7
DeletionProtection: false
```
See [database-components.md](references/database-components.md) for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Aurora cluster configurations, and parameter groups.
### Step 5 — Enable High Availability
Configure multi-AZ deployment for production.
```yaml
Conditions:
IsProduction: !Equals [!Ref Environment, production]
Resources:
DBInstance:
Type: AWS::RDS::DBInstance
Properties:
MultiAZ: !If [IsProduction, true, false]
BackupRetentionPeriod: !If [IsProduction, 35, 7]
DeletionProtection: !If [IsProduction, true, false]
EnablePerformanceInsights: !If [IsProduction, true, false]
```
See [high-availability.md](references/high-availability.md) for multi-AZ deployments, read replicas, Aurora auto-scaling, enhanced monitoring, and disaster recovery.
### Step 6 — Define Outputs
Export connection details for application stacks.
```yaml
Outputs:
DBInstanceEndpoint:
Description: Database endpoint address
Value: !GetAtt DBInstance.Endpoint.Address
Export:
Name: !Sub ${AWS::StackName}-DBEndpoint
DBInstancePort:
Description: Database port
Value: !GetAtt DBInstance.Endpoint.Port
Export:
Name: !Sub ${AWS::StackName}-DBPort
DBConnectionString:
Description: Connection string
Value: !Sub jdbc:mysql://${DBInstance.Endpoint.Address}:${DBInstance.Endpoint.Port}/${DBName}
```
See [template-structure.md](references/template-structure.md) for cross-stack reference patterns and import/export strategies.
### Validation Steps
Always validate before deploying, especially to production.
```bash
# Validate the template syntax
aws cloudformation validate-template --template-body file://template.yaml
# Review the change set before applying updates
aws cloudformation create-change-set \
--stack-name my-rds-stack \
--template-body file://template.yaml \
--change-set-type UPDATE
aws cloudformation describe-change-set --change-set-name <arn>
# Execute the change set if the preview looks correct
aws cloudformation execute-change-set --change-set-name <arn>
```
## Best Practices
| Category | Practice | Implementation |
|----------|----------|----------------|
| Security | Encryption at rest | `StorageEncrypted: true` with KMS key |
| Security | Credential management | Use Secrets Manager integration |
| Security | Network isolation | Private subnets, restrictive SG rules |
| Security | IAM authentication | Enable `IAMDatabaseAuthentication` |
| HA | Multi-AZ deployment | `MultiAZ: true` for production |
| HA | Deletion protection | `DeletionProtection: true` for production |
| HA | Backup retention | 35 days for production, 7 for dev |
| HA | Read replicas | Use for read-heavy workloads |
| Cost | Storage type | Use `gp3` for cost efficiency |
| Cost | Instance sizing | Right-size based on workload |
| Cost | Serverless | Consider Aurora Serverless for variable loads |
| Operations | Change sets | Always review before applying updates |
| Operations | Drift detection | Enable for template compliance |
| Operations | Monitoring | Configure CloudWatch alarms |

### Additional Resources

## Constraints and Warnings
### Resource Limits
- Maximum storage size varies by engine (up to 64 TB for MySQL/PostgreSQL)
- Maximum 500 resources per CloudFormation stack
- Parameter group limits vary by account/region
### Cost Considerations
- Multi-AZ deployments cost approximately double single-AZ
- Provisioned IOPS (io1) significantly increases costs
- Backup storage beyond free tier incurs monthly costs
- Manual snapshots incur storage costs even after instance deletion
### Security Constraints
- Master password cannot be retrieved after creation
- Encryption at rest cannot be disabled once enabled
- RDS instances must be in VPC (public access not recommended)
- Security group rules must restrict access to application tier
### Operational Constraints
- Certain modifications (engine version, storage type) require instance replacement with downtime
- Maintenance windows may cause brief service interruptions
- Read replicas may lag behind primary by seconds to minutes
- Not all database engines available in all regions
