There was an interesting ask that crossed my feeds, about using cloud-native infrastructure to manage users & databases on a legacy/non-cloud postgres.
That seems like a pretty wild use case, but I do think it's important to surface the question of how, if at all, legacy RDS users can migrate to ACK-managed RDS. I proposed that perhaps RDS service controller might be able to seed a new database from an existing database's backup. That way there's some migration into ACK-managed RDS available.

Hi @rektide! :) Here is a related GH issue around this: #41
I'm interested if there has been any discussions around managing multiple DBs and users on a RDS instance? We currently manage this via Terraform but supporting this workflow in a controller would be really useful.
@stevehipwell you could argue that that shouldn't really be a use case for an RDS controller. Mostly because it would mean managing multiple, completely different APIs by the controller. I use a custom PostgesDB operator to do that - users declare what database/user they want created on what Postgres host and the operator manages that. I'd generally recommend a split like that, I've been very happy to use it.
@stevehipwell I wrote one myself using the Ansible Operator Framework https://sdk.operatorframework.io/docs/building-operators/ansible/tutorial/ (not affiliated with them :) ). It wasn't really hard to throw something usable together in a day or two.
@PatTheSilent I suspected you might say that. I've been looking for a good community PSQL DB operator for a while now and as Terraform works well enough I haven't been able to prioritise writing my own. Crossplane and the provider-sql look like promising leads.
@stevehipwell oh, I didn't know about that. I use crossplane to manage my AWS stuff so that would be a perfect fit (and less maintenance on the long run). Thanks!

The RDS resources are looking pretty great. Are there any milestones to achieve before it becomes GA?
@gazal-k Thanks for the feedback! You can track the roadmap for the RDS controller here: https://github.com/orgs/aws-controllers-k8s/projects/4/views/5
We are in the process for prepping for GA, but please feel to test out the RDS controller and give us feedback! To help you get started, there are a few tutorials for managing RDS resources in the ACK documentation:
https://aws-controllers-k8s.github.io/community/docs/tutorials/rds-example/ https://aws-controllers-k8s.github.io/community/docs/tutorials/aurora-serverless-v2/
There is also a blog that walks through an end-to-end example of deploying an application with the RDS controller:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/deploy-amazon-rds-databases-for-applications-in-kubernetes/
Looks like it's pretty close 🙂. If I'm reading that right. Just 1 in progress item and 1 to-do.
We are just waiting on this to be GA to use it in our applications. Right now, cloud infra like RDS and S3 are provisioned separately for our k8s applications.
Closing as this service controller has graduated to GA. Separate issues can be opened to discuss specific follow on topics on the controller.
