Configuring an Autoscaling Policy¶
Function¶
This API is used to configure autoscaling for a DB instance. You will be billed for the added storage.
If available storage drops to a specified threshold or 10 GB, your storage will autoscale by 15% (in increments of 10 GB) of your allocated storage.
Autoscaling up the storage of a read replica does not affect that of the primary instance. The new storage space of the read replica after autoscaling must be no less than that of the primary instance.
Before calling an API, you need to understand the API in Authentication.
Before calling this API, obtain the required region and endpoint.
Constraints¶
This API is only available to RDS for MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server and RDS for PostgreSQL instances whose storage type is cloud SSDs or extreme SSDs and storage space is at least 40 GB.
Storage autoscaling is unavailable when the instance is in any of the following statuses: changing instance class, upgrading a minor version, migrating the standby instance, and rebooting.
The storage space can be autoscaled up only when your instance status is Available or Storage full. The maximum allowed storage is 4,000 GB.
