Warning

If you have already created a database before setting these options, you'll have to issue 'ALTER TABLE (table name) CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET UTF8' for every table in the database before continuing.

Recommended Settings

Make sure to select the DB cluster parameter group we created above when creating a new instance.


We recommended the following setup for Amazon RDS:

  • Size: db.t2.medium

  • Performance: 500 to 1000 IOPS (SSD)

  • Storage: 100 to 300 GB

  • Version: Aurora (Mysql 5.7 compability mode)

  • Multi AZ: Enabled

  • Backups: Enabled

Backup and Restore

Using an external database like Amazon RDS automatically disables database backups; the packagecloud-ctl backup-database command will automatically skip preparing a backup. We recommend that users using Amazon RDS prepare their own backup and restore procedure based on the documentation provided by their service provider.

For help with Amazon RDS, please consult the documentation Amazon AWS provides here:http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/CHAP_CommonTasks.BackupRestore.html

Any questions or issues with Amazon RDS backup and restore procedures should be directed to your AWS support person for assistance; we do not offer support for Amazon AWS products or services.
