RDS instances script automation

Question

I am trying to create a bash script that will find my rds instance with a particular tag and stop the instance. For example, if my rds instance is running with the tag Name=application_name and value=abc, it should provide me the list of the instance and then stop those.

Answer 1

You should be able to use something like:

ID=$(aws resourcegroupstaggingapi get-resources --resource-type-filters rds:instance --tag-filters Key=application_name,Values=abc --output text)

aws rds stop-db-instance --db-instance-identifier $ID

I didn't test it, but that should get you going!
