DBShardGroup

Learn how to create, update, and manage AWS RDS DBShardGroups using Alchemy Cloud Control.

The DBShardGroup resource allows you to manage AWS RDS DBShardGroups for scalable database architectures that can distribute workloads across multiple shards.

Create a basic DBShardGroup with required properties and a couple of optional settings.

import AWS from "alchemy/aws/control";
const myDBShardGroup = await AWS.RDS.DBShardGroup("myDBShardGroup", {
DBClusterIdentifier: "myDBCluster",
MaxACU: 16,
PubliclyAccessible: true
});

Configure a DBShardGroup with additional settings such as compute redundancy and minimum ACU.

const advancedDBShardGroup = await AWS.RDS.DBShardGroup("advancedDBShardGroup", {
DBClusterIdentifier: "myAdvancedDBCluster",
MaxACU: 32,
MinACU: 8,
ComputeRedundancy: 2,
DBShardGroupIdentifier: "advanced-shard-group",
Tags: [
{
Key: "Environment",
Value: "Production"
},
{
Key: "Project",
Value: "MyProject"
}
]
});

If you want to adopt an existing DBShardGroup without failing if it already exists, you can set the adopt property to true.

const adoptedDBShardGroup = await AWS.RDS.DBShardGroup("adoptedDBShardGroup", {
DBClusterIdentifier: "existingDBCluster",
MaxACU: 20,
adopt: true
});

Create a DBShardGroup that is publicly accessible for development purposes.

const publicDBShardGroup = await AWS.RDS.DBShardGroup("publicDBShardGroup", {
DBClusterIdentifier: "devDBCluster",
MaxACU: 12,
PubliclyAccessible: true,
Tags: [
{
Key: "Environment",
Value: "Development"
}
]
});

When creating a DBShardGroup, you can specify various properties that define its behavior and configuration.

const resourceProperties = {
DBClusterIdentifier: "resourceDBCluster",
MaxACU: 24,
MinACU: 10,
ComputeRedundancy: 3,
DBShardGroupIdentifier: "resource-shard-group",
PubliclyAccessible: false,
Tags: [
{
Key: "Owner",
Value: "TeamA"
}
]
};
const resourceDBShardGroup = await AWS.RDS.DBShardGroup("resourceDBShardGroup", resourceProperties);
