aws_rds_group_option Resource
Use the aws_rds_group_option
InSpec audit resource to test detailed properties of an individual RDS cluster.An aws_rds_group_option
resource block uses resource parameters to search for an RDS option group, and then tests that RDS option group. If no RDS option group match, no error is raised, but the exists
matcher will return false
and all properties will be nil
.
RDS gives you access to the capabilities of a MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or Amazon Aurora database server.
