Modify Amazon RDS with CLI

Modify Amazon RDS with CLI

  • Use --region eu-west-1 when using rds-describe-db-instances or else the console doesn't show any output if databases are located in europe
  • Use rds-modify-db-instance DBINSTANCENAME --region eu-west-1 -s NUMBER --apply-immediately to immediately increase allocated storage

Check espresso AWS and Nader's home dir (.aws, .bashrc) for the needed configuration so the CLI tools are authenticated against the API.
