The AWS KMS key identifier for an encrypted read replica.

The AWS KMS key identifier is the key ARN, key ID, alias ARN, or alias name for the KMS key.

If you create an encrypted read replica in the same AWS Region as the source DB instance or Multi-AZ DB cluster, don't specify a value for this parameter. A read replica in the same AWS Region is always encrypted with the same KMS key as the source DB instance or cluster.

If you create an encrypted read replica in a different AWS Region, then you must specify a KMS key identifier for the destination AWS Region. KMS keys are specific to the AWS Region that they are created in, and you can't use KMS keys from one AWS Region in another AWS Region.

You can't create an encrypted read replica from an unencrypted DB instance or Multi-AZ DB cluster.

This setting doesn't apply to RDS Custom, which uses the same KMS key as the primary replica.

Default: 0

Type: Integer

Required: No

The ARN for the IAM role that permits RDS to send enhanced monitoring metrics to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. For example, arn:aws:iam:123456789012:role/emaccess. For information on creating a monitoring role, go to To create an IAM role for Amazon RDS Enhanced Monitoring in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

If MonitoringInterval is set to a value other than 0, then you must supply a MonitoringRoleArn value.

This setting doesn't apply to RDS Custom DB instances.

Type: String

Required: No

Specifies whether the read replica is in a Multi-AZ deployment.

You can create a read replica as a Multi-AZ DB instance. RDS creates a standby of your replica in another Availability Zone for failover support for the replica. Creating your read replica as a Multi-AZ DB instance is independent of whether the source is a Multi-AZ DB instance or a Multi-AZ DB cluster.

This setting doesn't apply to RDS Custom DB instances.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

The network type of the DB instance.

Valid Values:

The network type is determined by the DBSubnetGroup specified for read replica. A DBSubnetGroup can support only the IPv4 protocol or the IPv4 and the IPv6 protocols (DUAL).

For more information, see Working with a DB instance in a VPC in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

Type: String

Required: No

The option group to associate the DB instance with. If not specified, RDS uses the option group associated with the source DB instance or cluster.

This setting doesn't apply to RDS Custom DB instances.

Required: No

The AWS KMS key identifier for encryption of Performance Insights data.

The AWS KMS key identifier is the key ARN, key ID, alias ARN, or alias name for the KMS key.

If you do not specify a value for PerformanceInsightsKMSKeyId, then Amazon RDS uses your default KMS key. There is a default KMS key for your AWS account. Your AWS account has a different default KMS key for each AWS Region.

This setting doesn't apply to RDS Custom DB instances.

Type: String

Required: No

The number of days to retain Performance Insights data.

This setting doesn't apply to RDS Custom DB instances.

Valid Values:

Default: 7 days

If you specify a retention period that isn't valid, such as 94, Amazon RDS returns an error.

Type: Integer

Required: No

The port number that the DB instance uses for connections.

Valid Values: 1150-65535

Default: Inherits the value from the source DB instance.

Type: Integer

Required: No

When you are creating a read replica from one AWS GovCloud (US) Region to another or from one China AWS Region to another, the URL that contains a Signature Version 4 signed request for the CreateDBInstanceReadReplica API operation in the source AWS Region that contains the source DB instance.

This setting applies only to AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and China AWS Regions. It's ignored in other AWS Regions.

This setting applies only when replicating from a source DB instance. Source DB clusters aren't supported in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and China AWS Regions.

You must specify this parameter when you create an encrypted read replica from another AWS Region by using the Amazon RDS API. Don't specify PreSignedUrl when you are creating an encrypted read replica in the same AWS Region.

The presigned URL must be a valid request for the CreateDBInstanceReadReplica API operation that can run in the source AWS Region that contains the encrypted source DB instance. The presigned URL request must contain the following parameter values:

To learn how to generate a Signature Version 4 signed request, see Authenticating Requests: Using Query Parameters (AWS Signature Version 4) and Signature Version 4 Signing Process.

This setting doesn't apply to RDS Custom DB instances.

Required: No

The number of CPU cores and the number of threads per core for the DB instance class of the DB instance.

This setting doesn't apply to RDS Custom DB instances.

Type: Array of ProcessorFeature objects

Required: No

Specifies whether the DB instance is publicly accessible.

When the DB cluster is publicly accessible, its Domain Name System (DNS) endpoint resolves to the private IP address from within the DB cluster's virtual private cloud (VPC). It resolves to the public IP address from outside of the DB cluster's VPC. Access to the DB cluster is ultimately controlled by the security group it uses. That public access isn't permitted if the security group assigned to the DB cluster doesn't permit it.

When the DB instance isn't publicly accessible, it is an internal DB instance with a DNS name that resolves to a private IP address.

For more information, see CreateDBInstance.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

The open mode of the replica database: mounted or read-only.

Mounted DB replicas are included in Oracle Database Enterprise Edition. The main use case for mounted replicas is cross-Region disaster recovery. The primary database doesn't use Active Data Guard to transmit information to the mounted replica. Because it doesn't accept user connections, a mounted replica can't serve a read-only workload.

You can create a combination of mounted and read-only DB replicas for the same primary DB instance. For more information, see Working with Oracle Read Replicas for Amazon RDS in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

For RDS Custom, you must specify this parameter and set it to mounted. The value won't be set by default. After replica creation, you can manage the open mode manually.

Type: String

Valid Values: open-read-only | mounted

Required: No

The identifier of the Multi-AZ DB cluster that will act as the source for the read replica. Each DB cluster can have up to 15 read replicas.
