DESCRIPTION
Creates a new database database instance from a snapshot of an
existing database instance, effectively replicating the existing
instance at the time the snapshot was taken. Some
characteristics of the new database instance can be modified via
optional parameters; if these are omitted, the new restored
database instance will default to the characteristics of the
instance from which the snapshot was taken.
ARGUMENTS
DBInstanceIdentifier
User-supplied database instance identifier, this is
the unique key that identifies the database instance
to be freshly created from a snapshot. Cannot be
empty, or blank, visible characters only. The
identifier must be 1 to 63 alphanumeric characters or
hyphens, is case insensitive, and is not case
preserving. You can also set this value using "--db-instance-identifier".
Required.
SPECIFIC OPTIONS
-au, --auto-minor-version-upgrade VALUE
Whether minor version upgrades will automatically be applied to the
database instance during its maintenance window.
-c, --db-instance-class VALUE
The compute and memory capacity of the database Instance.
-e, --engine VALUE
Engine to be used for the instance.
--iops VALUE
Provisioned storage I/O operations per second for the instance. If this
parameter is not specified, the value will be copied from the backup. If
this parameter is set to 0 (zero), the new instance will not have
Provisioned IOPS.
-lm, --license-model VALUE
License model to be used for the instance.
-m, --multi-az VALUE
Whether the instance will run as a Multi-AZ deployment. Boolean value,
default is 'false'.
-n, --db-name VALUE
DB name to be used for the instance.
-og, --option-group VALUE
The name of the option group that should be associated with this
instance.
-p, --port VALUE
Port number on which the database accepts
connections. Default will be the port of the database instance from which
the snapshot was taken.
-s, --db-snapshot-identifier VALUE
User-supplied snapshot identifier, this is the unique
key that identifies a specific snapshot of an
database database. This is the snapshot that will be
used to populate the new database instance. Must be
1 to 255 alphanumeric characters or underscores. Required.
-sn, --db-subnet-group-name VALUE
The DB Subnet Group name will be associated with the restored DB
instance.
-z, --availability-zone VALUE
The EC2 Availability Zone name the database will be
created in. Default: System chosen (random)
availability zone. Example: us-east-1c.
GENERAL OPTIONS
--aws-credential-file VALUE
Location of the file with your AWS credentials. Must not be specified in
conjunction with --ec2-cert-file-path or --ec2-private-key-file-path.
This value can be set by using the environment variable
'AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE'.
-C, --ec2-cert-file-path VALUE
Path to AWS X.509 certificate file. Must be specified in conjunction with
--ec2-private-key-file-path and must not be specified in conjunction with
--aws-credential-file. This value can be set by using the environment
variable 'EC2_CERT'.
--connection-timeout VALUE
Specify a connection timeout VALUE (in seconds) for API calls. The
default value is '30'.
--debug
If an error occurs while --debug is used, it will display information
useful for debugging the problem. The default value is 'false'.
--delimiter VALUE
What delimiter to use when displaying delimited (long) results.
--headers
If you are displaying tabular or delimited results, it includes the
column headers. If you are showing xml results, it returns the HTTP
headers from the service request, if applicable. This is off by default.
-I, --access-key-id VALUE
Specify the AWS Access ID to use.
-K, --ec2-private-key-file-path VALUE
Path to AWS X.509 private key file. Must be specified in conjunction with
--ec2-cert-file-path and must not be specified in conjunction with
--aws-credential-file. This value can be set by using the environment
variable 'EC2_PRIVATE_KEY'.
--region VALUE
Specify region VALUE as the web service region to use. This value can be
set by using the environment variable 'EC2_REGION'.
-S, --secret-key VALUE
Specify the AWS Secret Key to use.
--service-sig-name VALUE

'SERVICE_SIG_NAME'.
--show-empty-fields
Show empty fields and rows, using a "(nil)" value. The default is to not
show empty fields or columns.
--show-request
Displays the URL used by the tools to call the AWS Service. The default
value is 'false'.
--show-table, --show-long, --show-xml, --quiet
Specify how the results are displayed: tabular, delimited (long), xml, or
no output (quiet). Tabular shows a subset of the data in fixed
column-width form, while long shows all of the returned values delimited
by a character. The xml is the raw return from the service, while quiet
suppresses all standard output. The default is tabular, or 'show-table'.
-U, --url VALUE
This option will override the URL for the service call with VALUE. This
value can be set by using the environment variable 'RDS_URL'.
INPUT EXAMPLES
Create a new DB from a snapshot using the minimum set of
arguments (new database id, existing snapshot id, new database class, new
database port)
$PROMPT>rds-restore-db-instance-from-db-snapshot mynewrestoreddatabase -s
myexistingsnapshot -c db.m1.small -p 4100
Create a database instance from a snapshot, and optionally specify a new
availability zone.
$PROMPT>rds-restore-db-instance-from-db-snapshot mynewrestoreddatabase -s
myexistingsnapshot -c db.m1.small -p 3501 -z us-east-1a
Create a database instance from a snapshot, and optionally specify a new
availability zone. This example achieves the same result as the above
example, and simply uses the full-length argument flags.
$PROMPT>rds-restore-db-instance-from-db-snapshot --db-instance-identifier
mynewrestoreddatabase --db-snapshot-identifier myexistingsnapshot --db-instance-class
db.m1.small --port 3501 --availability-zone us-east-1a
