How Long Does It Take to Create an RDS for PostgreSQL Instance?

  • It takes 5 to 7 minutes to create a single-node or primary/standby instance.
  • The time required for creating a read replica depends on the data amount of the primary instance. More data will take longer to replicate. If the primary instance is empty, creating a read replica takes 7 to 8 minutes.

If creating an instance takes much more time than described above, there may be problems during the creation. In this case, contact customer service by choosing Service Tickets > Create Service Ticket in the upper right corner of the management console.
