Docs update: RDS Restore from snapshot guidance

Open sj-williams opened this issue 11 months ago • 0 comments

Background

Following a recent support session with a CP user looking to test the process of restoring an Aurora RDS cluster from a snapshot, it looks like we could do with updating the user guide on the steps necessary to complete this work.

Namely step 5 of this section

  • pausing apply-pipeline is a little more complex now that we have split them into multiple jobs that run in parallel, we should have putting a SKIP file in as a pre-req step to ensure that the manual steps of restore process are not interrupted instead.

  • we don't have any supporting documentation for the CP team in our runbooks. We should run through a test scenario of restoring both RDS instances and Aurora clusters using snapshot_identifier, taking note of any differences between these two, and adding a runbook doc for the process (and also update module READMEs if necessary).
