Troubleshooting the Neptune Blue/Green solution

Troubleshooting the Neptune Blue/Green solution - Amazon Neptune

The following information highlights issues that can arise during the Blue/Green solution deployment process, such as conflicts with existing clusters, the need to enable Neptune streams, ongoing bulk load operations, and version compatibility requirements. By addressing these potential problems, you can ensure a smooth and successful deployment of the Neptune Blue/Green solution.

Errors raised by the Neptune Blue/Green solution
  • Cluster with id = (blue_green_deployment_id) already exists   –   There is an existing cluster with identifier (blue_green_deployment_id).

    Provide a new deployment ID or set the deployment mode to resume if the cluster was created in a previous Neptune Blue/Green run.

  • Streams should be enabled on the source Cluster for Blue Green Deployment   –   Enable Neptune streams on the blue (source) cluster.

  • No Bulkload should be in progress on source cluster: (cluster_id)   –   The Neptune Blue/Green solution terminates if it identifies an ongoing bulk load.

    This is to ensure that the sync process is able to catch up with writes being made. Avoid or cancel any ongoing bulk load job before starting the Neptune Blue/Green solution.

  • Blue Green deployment requires instances to be in sync with db cluster parameter group   –   Any changes to cluster parameter group should be in sync throughout the DB cluster. See Amazon Neptune parameter groups.

  • Invalid target engine version for Blue Green Deployment   –   The target engine version must be listed as active in Engine releases for Amazon Neptune, and must be higher than the current engine release of the source (blue) cluster.
