Day 31: Configuring a Private RDS Instance for Application Development | 100 Days of Cloud (AWS)

,

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.micro could 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

This appears to be AWS again breaking something minor here – I did the lab using Free Tier a couple of weeks ago, and it worked. Now you can’t choose instance size, for some reason. But I’m glad that Dev/Test still works, at least :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

great the problem is solved , if you face any issue in further tasks fell free to explorer my solutions where i explained every task in detail in video tutorial and if its helps just give a star to my repo.
