This module implements an instance of the IBM Cloud Databases for PostgreSQL service.
:exclamation: The module does not support major version upgrades or updates to encryption and backup encryption keys. To upgrade the version, create another instance of Databases for PostgreSQL with the updated version and follow the steps in Upgrading PostgreSQL docs in the IBM Cloud Docs.
:exclamation: The module only supports setting the disk encryption and backup encryption key CRNs on creation and no update support is available. The KMS manual or automatic key rotation may be used to change the key value and initiate the re-encryption of the deployment.
IBM Cloud Databases supports:
us-south
, us-east
, and eu-de
for backup encryption. For more information, see Bring Your Own Key for Backups in the IBM Cloud Docs.If you enable key management encryption and no value is passed for 'backup_encryption_key_crn', the value of 'kms_key_crn' is used

null |
no |
auto_scaling | Optional rules to allow the database to increase resources in response to usage. Only a single autoscaling block is allowed. Make sure you understand the effects of autoscaling, especially for production environments. See https://ibm.biz/autoscaling-considerations in the IBM Cloud Docs. | object({ |
null |
no |
backup_crn | The CRN of a backup resource to restore from. The backup is created by a database deployment with the same service ID. The backup is loaded after provisioning and the new deployment starts up that uses that data. A backup CRN is in the format crn:v1:<…>:backup:. If omitted, the database is provisioned empty. | string |
null |
no |
backup_encryption_key_crn | The Hyper Protect Crypto Services (HPCS) or Key Protect root key CRN to use for encrypting the disk that holds deployment backups. Only used if var.kms_encryption_enabled is set to true. There are region limitations for backup encryption. See https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-databases?topic=cloud-databases-hpcs#use-hpcs-backups (HPCS) and https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-databases?topic=cloud-databases-key-protect&interface=ui#key-byok (Key Protect). | string |

null |
no |
existing_kms_instance_guid | The GUID of the Hyper Protect Crypto Services or Key Protect instance in which the key specified in var.kms_key_crn and var.backup_encryption_key_crn is coming from. Required only if var.kms_encryption_enabled is set to true, var.skip_iam_authorization_policy is set to false, and you pass a value for var.kms_key_crn, var.backup_encryption_key_crn, or both. | string |
null |
no |
kms_encryption_enabled | Set this to true to control the encryption keys used to encrypt the data that you store in IBM Cloud Databases. If set to false, the data is encrypted by using randomly generated keys. For more info on Key Protect integration, see https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-databases?topic=cloud-databases-key-protect. For more info on HPCS integration, see https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-databases?topic=cloud-databases-hpcs | bool |
false |
no |
kms_key_crn | The root key CRN of a Key Management Services like Key Protect or Hyper Protect Crypto Services (HPCS) that you want to use for disk encryption. Only used if var.kms_encryption_enabled is set to true. | string |

Be warned that in most case using IAM service credentials (via the var.service_credential_names) is sufficient to control access to the Postgres instance. This blocks creates native postgres database users, more info on that can be found here https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/databases-for-postgresql?topic=databases-for-postgresql-user-management&interface=ui | list(object({ |
