Creating a Parameter Template

DB parameter templates act as a container for engine configuration values that are applied to one or more DB instances.

Precautions

  • DDS does not share parameter template quotas with RDS.
  • Each account can create up to 100 DDS parameter templates for the cluster, replica set, and single node instances.

Cluster

  5. On the Parameter Templates page, click Create Parameter Template.
  6. Select Cluster for DB Instance Type, specify DB Engine Version, Node Type, New Parameter Template, and Description (optional), and then click OK.

    • Node Type: specifies the node type that this parameter template will apply to. For example, to create a parameter template applying to config, select config.
    • New Parameter Template: The template name can be up to 64 characters. It must start with a letter and can contain only letters (case-sensitive), digits, hyphens (-), periods (.), and underscores (_).
