Advises on Amazon RDS open-source engines (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL) for instance creation, upgrade planning, commitment pricing, proxy evaluation, and Blue/Green deployments. Handles any RDS MySQL, MariaDB, or PostgreSQL question, including create a production-ready RDS MySQL instance, provision an RDS PostgreSQL database, run the RDS upgrade advisor for my RDS MySQL instance, what are my upgrade options, upgrade RDS MariaDB from 10.6 to the latest version, should I buy reserved instances or a savings plan for db.r7g.2xlarge RDS MySQL, change a VARCHAR to INT column on RDS MySQL 8.0 with Blue/Green, and does RDS Proxy help when PgBouncer already runs in transaction mode. Covers instance creation with production best practices, describe-db-instances and describe-db-engine-versions upgrade-target workflow, live prechecks via SSM or direct connection, RI versus DSP commitment pricing, RDS Proxy versus PgBouncer, and Blue/Green lifecycle with binlog replay compatibility.

Verify Dependencies

Before running workflows that require external tools, verify the following:

  • Python 3.10+ — required for rds_commitment_pricing_analyzer.py. If boto3 is missing, offer offline mode for commitment pricing.
  • AWS CLI v2 — required for upgrade, proxy, and Blue/Green workflows.
  • Credentials — confirm with aws sts get-caller-identity before live runs. Prefer IAM roles (EC2 instance profiles, ECS task roles, or AWS SSO session credentials) over long-lived IAM user access keys. If long-lived keys are used, ensure they are rotated regularly. For database connections during prechecks, prefer IAM database authentication where supported.

Constraints:

  • You MUST ONLY check tool existence and MUST NOT invoke the tools here, because that would trigger live calls before the user is ready
  • You MUST ask before switching to offline mode
