Amazon RDS – MariaDB Creating DB


”;


As a cloud platform AWS gives you very minimal number of steps to setup a DB in RDS. Creating a MariaDB can be done in three ways. Using AWS management console, AWS CLI or AWS API. We will look at each of these approaches one by one.

Using AWS management Console

AWS management console is the most convenient way to get started with RDS. You login to the AWS console using your AWS account details, locate the RDS service and then follow the steps shown below to create a MariaDB instance.

Step-1

Select the MariaDB Engine form the console.

Using CLI

To create a MariaDB instance by using the AWS CLI, call the create-db-instance command with the parameters below.

aws rds create-db-instance 
    --db-instance-identifier mydbinstance 
    --db-instance-class db.m4.xlarge 
    --engine mariadb 
    --allocated-storage 20 
    --master-username masteruser 
    --master-user-password masteruserpassword 
    --backup-retention-period 3

Using API

To create a MariaDB instance by using the Amazon RDS API, we call the CreateDBInstance action with the parameters as shown below.

https://rds.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/
    ?Action=CreateDBInstance
    &AllocatedStorage=20
    &BackupRetentionPeriod=3
    &DBInstanceClass=db.m4.xlarge
    &DBInstanceIdentifier=mydbinstance
    &DBName=mydatabase
    &DBSecurityGroups.member.1=mysecuritygroup
    &DBSubnetGroup=mydbsubnetgroup
    &Engine=mariadb
    &MasterUserPassword=masteruserpassword
    &MasterUsername=masterawsuser
    &Version=2014-10-31
    &X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256
    &X-Amz-Credential=AKIADQKE4SARGYLE/20140213/us-west-2/rds/aws4_request
    &X-Amz-Date=20140213T162136Z
    &X-Amz-SignedHeaders=content-type;host;user-agent;x-amz-content-sha256;x-amz-date
    &X-Amz-Signature=8052a76dfb18469393c5f0182cdab0ebc224a9c7c5c949155376c1c250fc7ec3
