Configuring Storage Autoscaling

Updated on 2025-01-02 GMT+08:00

Scenarios

With storage autoscaling enabled, when RDS detects that you are running out of database space, it automatically scales up your storage.

Autoscaling up the storage of a read replica does not affect that of the primary DB instance. Therefore, you can separately autoscale read replicas to meet service requirements. New storage space of read replicas after autoscaling up must be greater than or equal to that of the primary DB instance.

You can enable storage autoscaling in either of the following ways:

  • Enable this function when you create a DB instance. For details, see Buying an RDS for MySQL DB Instance.
  • Enable this function after you create a DB instance. See the operations provided in this section.

Constraints

  • You can enable storage autoscaling only when your account balance is greater than or equal to $0 USD.
  • The storage space can be scaled up automatically only when your instance status is Available or Storage full.
  • To apply for the storage autoscaling permission, submit a service ticket by choosing Service Tickets > Create Service Ticket in the upper right corner of the management console.
  • Storage autoscaling for RDS for MySQL DB instances is supported only for cloud SSD and extreme SSD storage types. For details about storage types, see DB Instance Storage Types.
  • The maximum allowed storage is 4,000 GB.
  • For a primary/standby DB instance, autoscaling the storage for the primary node will also autoscale the storage for the standby node.
  • Storage autoscaling is unavailable when the DB instance is in any of the following statuses: changing instance class, upgrading a minor version, migrating the standby DB instance, and rebooting.
  • If a yearly/monthly DB instance has pending orders, it will not be autoscaled.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region.
  3. Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Databases > Relational Database Service.
  4. On the Instances page, click the target DB instance or read replica name (click in front of a DB instance to locate its read replica).
  5. In the Storage & Backup area, toggle on the Storage Autoscaling switch.

  6. In the displayed dialog box, set the following parameters:

    Figure 2 Configuring autoscaling
    Table 1 Parameter description

    Parameter

    Description

    Enable autoscaling

    If you select this option, autoscaling is enabled.

    Trigger If Available Storage Drops To

    If the available storage drops to a specified threshold or 10 GB, autoscaling is triggered.

    Autoscaling Limit

    The default value range is from 40 GB to 4,000 GB. The limit must be no less than the storage of the DB instance.

  7. Click OK.
