Changing the Read/Write Splitting Address

Scenarios

After database proxy is enabled, applications access the database through the read/write splitting address. This section describes how to change the read/write splitting address, if needed.

Precautions

Changing the read/write splitting address will interrupt database connections and services. Therefore, change it during off-peak hours or when workloads are stopped.

Constraints

The new IP address is not in use and must be in the same subnet as the RDS for MySQL instance.

Procedure

You can change read/write splitting addresses for DB instances with read/write splitting enabled.

  1. Click in the upper left corner and select a region.
  2. Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Databases > Relational Database Service.
  3. On the Instances page, click the instance name to go to the Summary page.
  4. Click Database Proxy in the navigation pane on the left. On the displayed page, click Modify next to the Read/Write Splitting Address field.
