Core concepts

Repo organization

  • modules: the main implementation code for this repo, broken down into multiple standalone, orthogonal submodules.

    • modules/rds: use this module to deploy all non-Amazon databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Oracle, and SQL Server.

    • modules/aurora: use this module to deploy all Amazon’s Aurora and Aurora Serverless databases.

    • modules/lambda-create-snapshot: use this module and the other lambda-xxx-snapshot modules to create custom snapshots of your databases and copy those snapshots to other AWS accounts.

  • examples: This folder contains working examples of how to use the submodules.

  • test: Automated tests for the modules and examples.
