I want to use the community.aws.rds\_instance module to create an Aurora DB.

However I am a bit stuck on the cluster element when using the below example:

- name: create minimal aurora instance in default VPC and default subnet group community.aws.rds\_instance: engine: aurora db\_instance\_identifier: ansible-test-aurora-db-instance instance\_type: db.t2.small password: “{{ password }}” username: “{{ username }}” cluster\_id: ansible-test-cluster # This cluster must exist - see rds\_cluster to manage it

How do I handle the cluster element? I am not sure what the “see rds\_cluster” descriptor means, I cant find any other modules to handle the cluster.

Any help anyone?

Cheers

Talked to Tony in IRC, but for anyone else who finds this in hope of an answer: the rds\_cluster module was not merged, so the comment in rds\_instance is misleading. There is an active pull request to include the rds\_cluster module in community.aws: [https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/687](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.aws/pull/687). Please try it out and leave feedback.
