Hi everyone
I was working on:
Day 31: Configuring a Private RDS Instance for Application Development | 100 Days of Cloud (AWS)
I faced an issue where selecting:
- MySQL 8.4.x
- Free tier template
caused:
- the DB instance class dropdown to become disabled
-
db.t3.microcould not be selected - storage to be forced to 100 GB with Provisioned IOPS
After troubleshooting, I found the solution:
Use the Dev/Test template instead of Free tier
Then I was able to:
- select
db.t3.micro - configure storage correctly
- enable autoscaling with a 50 GB threshold
- create the private RDS instance successfully
Sharing this in case anyone else encounters the same issue in the lab environment
