Workflows

upgrade-engine-version
Upgrade a DB instance engine version and wait for it to stabilize.
Resolves available engine versions, confirms the instance is available, modifies the engine version with ApplyImmediately, and polls until DescribeDBInstances reports the instance available again.
4 steps inputs: dbInstanceIdentifier, engine, engineVersion outputs: appliedVersion, status
1
lookupVersions
Describe the available engine versions for the supplied engine so the requested target version can be validated before upgrading.
2
confirmInstance
Describe the DB instance to confirm it is available before applying the engine upgrade.
3
upgradeInstance
Submit the modify request setting the new engine version with the upgrade applied immediately.
4
pollInstance
Describe the DB instance and inspect its status. While the instance is still upgrading the workflow loops back to poll again; once it is available the flow ends.

  title: Amazon RDS Upgrade DB Engine Version
  summary: Resolve a target engine version, upgrade the instance, and poll until stable.
  description: >-
    Performs a database engine version upgrade by first discovering valid target
    versions for the engine, then applying the upgrade and waiting for the
    instance to finish. The workflow looks up available engine versions,
    confirms the instance is available, submits a modify request that sets the
    new EngineVersion with ApplyImmediately, and polls DescribeDBInstances until
    the status settles back to available. Every step spells out its request
    inline so the flow can be read and executed without opening the underlying
    OpenAPI description.
