Amazon RDS Switchover Read Replica execution block sample policy - Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC)

Amazon RDS Switchover Read Replica execution block sample policy

The following is a sample policy to attach if you add execution blocks to a Region switch plan for Amazon RDS Oracle read replica switchover. 

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "rds:DescribeDBInstances",
        "rds:SwitchoverReadReplica",
        "rds:DescribePendingMaintenanceActions",
        "rds:ModifyDBInstance"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:rds:region:account-id:db:instance-name"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

If you configure an ungraceful behavior (promoteReadReplica), add the following action to the policy:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "rds:DescribeDBInstances",
        "rds:SwitchoverReadReplica",
        "rds:DescribePendingMaintenanceActions",
        "rds:PromoteReadReplica",
        "rds:ModifyDBInstance"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:rds:region:account-id:db:instance-name"
      ]
    }
  ]
}
