You can call DescribeValidDBInstanceModifications to learn what modifications you can make to your DB instance. You can use this information when you call ModifyDBInstance .

describe-valid-db-instance-modifications
--db-instance-identifier <value>
[--cli-input-json <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
--db-instance-identifier (string)
The customer identifier or the ARN of your DB instance.
--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.
--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

To describe valid modifications for a DB instance
This example describes the valid modifications for a DB instance (test-instance):
aws rds describe-valid-db-instance-modifications --db-instance-identifier test-instance

ValidDBInstanceModificationsMessage -> (structure)
Information about valid modifications that you can make to your DB instance. Contains the result of a successful call to the DescribeValidDBInstanceModifications action. You can use this information when you call ModifyDBInstance .
Storage -> (list)
Valid storage options for your DB instance.
(structure)
Information about valid modifications that you can make to your DB instance. Contains the result of a successful call to the DescribeValidDBInstanceModifications action.
StorageType -> (string)
The valid storage types for your DB instance. For example, gp2, io1.StorageSize -> (list)
The valid range of storage in gibibytes. For example, 100 to 16384.
(structure)
A range of integer values.
From -> (integer)
The minimum value in the range.To -> (integer)
The maximum value in the range.Step -> (integer)
The step value for the range. For example, if you have a range of 5,000 to 10,000, with a step value of 1,000, the valid values start at 5,000 and step up by 1,000. Even though 7,500 is within the range, it isn't a valid value for the range. The valid values are 5,000, 6,000, 7,000, 8,000...ProvisionedIops -> (list)
The valid range of provisioned IOPS. For example, 1000-20000.
(structure)
A range of integer values.
From -> (integer)
The minimum value in the range.To -> (integer)
The maximum value in the range.Step -> (integer)
The step value for the range. For example, if you have a range of 5,000 to 10,000, with a step value of 1,000, the valid values start at 5,000 and step up by 1,000. Even though 7,500 is within the range, it isn't a valid value for the range. The valid values are 5,000, 6,000, 7,000, 8,000...IopsToStorageRatio -> (list)
The valid range of Provisioned IOPS to gibibytes of storage multiplier. For example, 3-10, which means that provisioned IOPS can be between 3 and 10 times storage.
(structure)
A range of double values.
From -> (double)
The minimum value in the range.To -> (double)
The maximum value in the range.ValidProcessorFeatures -> (list)
Valid processor features for your DB instance.
(structure)
Contains the available processor feature information for the DB instance class of a DB instance.
For more information, see Configuring the Processor of the DB Instance Class in the Amazon RDS User Guide.
Name -> (string)
The name of the processor feature. Valid names are coreCount and threadsPerCore .DefaultValue -> (string)
The default value for the processor feature of the DB instance class.AllowedValues -> (string)
The allowed values for the processor feature of the DB instance class.
