Restoring from a DB Cluster Snapshot does not mention DB instances #11

Closed vkatsikaros closed 4 years ago

vkatsikaros commented 5 years ago

The currently latest "Restoring from a DB Cluster Snapshot" explains a lot about restoring from an aurora DB cluster snapshot, but omits one important detail (at least for the CLI): aws rds restore-db-cluster-from-snapshot restores only the cluster, but no instances.

This is obscurely documented in some places but I can't find it documented in the official documentation.

I experience the confusion myself, and indeed after running aws rds restore-db-cluster-from-snapshot, one needs to run aws rds create-db-instance.

This has been fixed in the documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/USER_RestoreFromSnapshot.html#USER_RestoreFromSnapshot.Restoring
