I want to take the Master-DB instance offline
I want to take the Master-DB instance offline
If you want to take the Master-DB instance offline, it's important that the availability of the data is not affected. The safest way to take an existing master DB offline is to promote the existing slave to master, launch and initialize a new Slave-DB, and then safely terminate the old Master-DB.
Verification: How do I know my system is in this situation?
You should only be in this situation if you need to perform an action that requires disconnecting the current Master-DB from the deployment.
Common situations are:
- Reboot of the Master-DB instance
- Reconfiguration of the Master-DB instance
- Simple termination of Master-DB instance
Required actions: What recipes should I apply to solve the situation?
- Promote Slave-DB to Master-DB
-
Launch a new Slave-DB
- Safely terminate the old Master-DB since it is no longer being used.
