ModifyCurrentDBClusterCapacity

Set the capacity of an Aurora Serverless DB cluster to a specific value.

Aurora Serverless scales seamlessly based on the workload on the DB cluster. In some cases, the capacity might not scale fast enough to meet a sudden change in workload, such as a large number of new transactions. Call ModifyCurrentDBClusterCapacity to set the capacity explicitly.

After this call sets the DB cluster capacity, Aurora Serverless can automatically scale the DB cluster based on the cooldown period for scaling up and the cooldown period for scaling down.

For more information about Aurora Serverless, see Using Amazon Aurora Serverless in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

Important

If you call ModifyCurrentDBClusterCapacity with the default TimeoutAction, connections that prevent Aurora Serverless from finding a scaling point might be dropped. For more information about scaling points, see Autoscaling for Aurora Serverless in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

Note

This action only applies to Aurora DB clusters.

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

Capacity

The DB cluster capacity.

When you change the capacity of a paused Aurora Serverless DB cluster, it automatically resumes.

Constraints:

For Aurora MySQL, valid capacity values are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256.
For Aurora PostgreSQL, valid capacity values are 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 192, and 384.

Type: Integer

Required: No

DBClusterIdentifier

The DB cluster identifier for the cluster being modified. This parameter isn't case-sensitive.

Constraints:

Must match the identifier of an existing DB cluster.

Type: String

Required: Yes

SecondsBeforeTimeout

The amount of time, in seconds, that Aurora Serverless tries to find a scaling point to perform seamless scaling before enforcing the timeout action. The default is 300.

Value must be from 10 through 600.

Type: Integer

Required: No

TimeoutAction

The action to take when the timeout is reached, either ForceApplyCapacityChange or RollbackCapacityChange.

ForceApplyCapacityChange, the default, sets the capacity to the specified value as soon as possible.

RollbackCapacityChange ignores the capacity change if a scaling point isn't found in the timeout period.

Type: String

Required: No

Response Elements

The following elements are returned by the service.

CurrentCapacity

The current capacity of the DB cluster.

Type: Integer

DBClusterIdentifier

A user-supplied DB cluster identifier. This identifier is the unique key that identifies a DB cluster.

Type: String

PendingCapacity

A value that specifies the capacity that the DB cluster scales to next.

Type: Integer

SecondsBeforeTimeout

The number of seconds before a call to ModifyCurrentDBClusterCapacity times out.

Type: Integer

TimeoutAction

The timeout action of a call to ModifyCurrentDBClusterCapacity, either ForceApplyCapacityChange or RollbackCapacityChange.

Type: String

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

DBClusterNotFoundFault

DBClusterIdentifier doesn't refer to an existing DB cluster.

HTTP Status Code: 404

InvalidDBClusterCapacityFault

Capacity isn't a valid Aurora Serverless DB cluster capacity. Valid capacity values are 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256.

HTTP Status Code: 400

InvalidDBClusterStateFault

The requested operation can't be performed while the cluster is in this state.

HTTP Status Code: 400
