AWS RDS engine mode currently unavailable


I'm trying to create an RDS Cluster Aurora-MySQL with one instance in it.

I get this error: "InvalidParameterValue: The engine mode provisioned you requested is currently unavailable"

I tried using "serverless" and get the same error.

Region: Ireland (eu-west-1)

Any suggestions?


Solution

  • engine and engine_version are mandatory parameters for Create API calls, be it instance or cluster. When you provision via AWS Console, these details are taken care of automatically by the console, but if you're using the SDK or CLI, you'd need to pass in all the parameters explicitly. The MAN pages and/or AWS Docs would come of help in such cases.

    P.S. I did expect a different error message though for this case.
