Workflows

add-aurora-replica-instance
Add a reader instance to an Aurora cluster and wait for it to become available.
Confirms the cluster is available, creates an instance that joins the cluster as a reader, then polls DescribeDBInstances until the new instance is available.
3 steps inputs: dbClusterIdentifier, dbInstanceClass, dbInstanceIdentifier, engine outputs: endpointAddress, readerId, status
1
confirmCluster
Describe the Aurora DB cluster to confirm it is available before adding a reader instance.
2
createReader
Create a new DB instance that joins the existing Aurora cluster as a reader, using the cluster engine and supplied instance class.
3
pollReader
Describe the new reader instance and inspect its status. While it is still creating the workflow loops back to poll again; once it is available the flow ends.

  title: Amazon RDS Add an Aurora Replica Instance
  summary: Confirm a cluster is available, add a reader instance, and poll until it joins.
  description: >-
    Scales read capacity on an Aurora DB cluster by adding a new reader instance
    into the existing cluster and waiting for it to come online. The workflow
    confirms the target cluster is available, creates a DB instance attached to
    the cluster, and polls DescribeDBInstances until the new reader reaches the
    available status, looping while it is still creating. Every step spells out
    its request inline so the flow can be read and executed without opening the
    underlying OpenAPI description.
