Question

I am working on Amazon RDS, but I don't need instances to run all the day 24/7, as I'm only developing right now. Is there any way to stop an RDS instance when I don't need it? I don't want to pay what I don't use!

Was it helpful?

Solution

There is no "stop/start" actions for RDS databases, currently you'd have to terminate the database taking a final snapshot and restore from that snapshot.

UPDATE: Now supported (thanks @venkata-mutyala): https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2017/06/amazon-rds-supports-stopping-and-starting-of-database-instances/
