Properties

Auth

The authorization mechanism that the proxy uses.

Required: Yes

Type: Array of AuthFormat

Minimum: 1

Update requires: No interruption

DBProxyName

The identifier for the proxy. This name must be unique for all proxies owned by your AWS account in the specified AWS Region. An identifier must begin with a letter and must contain only ASCII letters, digits, and hyphens; it can't end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Pattern: [0-z]*

Maximum: 64

Update requires: Replacement

DebugLogging

Specifies whether the proxy includes detailed information about SQL statements in its logs. This information helps you to debug issues involving SQL behavior or the performance and scalability of the proxy connections. The debug information includes the text of SQL statements that you submit through the proxy. Thus, only enable this setting when needed for debugging, and only when you have security measures in place to safeguard any sensitive information that appears in the logs.

Required: No

Type: Boolean

Update requires: No interruption

EngineFamily

The kinds of databases that the proxy can connect to. This value determines which database network protocol the proxy recognizes when it interprets network traffic to and from the database. For Aurora MySQL, RDS for MariaDB, and RDS for MySQL databases, specify MYSQL. For Aurora PostgreSQL and RDS for PostgreSQL databases, specify POSTGRESQL. For RDS for Microsoft SQL Server, specify SQLSERVER.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Allowed values: MYSQL | POSTGRESQL | SQLSERVER

Update requires: Replacement

IdleClientTimeout

The number of seconds that a connection to the proxy can be inactive before the proxy disconnects it. You can set this value higher or lower than the connection timeout limit for the associated database.

Required: No

Type: Integer

Update requires: No interruption

RequireTLS

Specifies whether Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption is required for connections to the proxy. By enabling this setting, you can enforce encrypted TLS connections to the proxy.

Required: No

Type: Boolean

Update requires: No interruption

RoleArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role that the proxy uses to access secrets in AWS Secrets Manager.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

Tags

An optional set of key-value pairs to associate arbitrary data of your choosing with the proxy.

Required: No

Type: Array of TagFormat

Update requires: No interruption

VpcSecurityGroupIds

One or more VPC security group IDs to associate with the new proxy.

If you plan to update the resource, don't specify VPC security groups in a shared VPC.

Required: No

Type: Array of String

Minimum: 1

Update requires: No interruption

VpcSubnetIds

One or more VPC subnet IDs to associate with the new proxy.

Required: Yes

Type: Array of String

Minimum: 2

Update requires: Replacement

Return values

Ref

When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic Ref function, Ref returns the name of the DB proxy.

For more information about using the Ref function, see Ref.

Fn::GetAtt

The Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function returns a value for a specified attribute of this type. The following are the available attributes and sample return values.

For more information about using the Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function, see Fn::GetAtt.

DBProxyArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the proxy.

Endpoint

The endpoint that you can use to connect to the DB proxy. You include the endpoint value in the connection string for a database client application.

VpcId

The VPC ID to associate with the DB proxy.

Examples

Creating a DB proxy and registering a DB instance

The following example creates a DB proxy and registers a DB instance.
