How Long Does It Take to Create an RDS DB Instance?
- RDS for MySQL and RDS for MariaDB:
- It takes 5 to 7 minutes to create a single-node or primary/standby instance.
- Creating a read replica that is in the same AZ as the primary or standby instance takes about 15 minutes. In other cases, the time required for creating a read replica depends on how much data there is in the primary instance. More data means longer creation.
- RDS for PostgreSQL:
- 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.
- RDS for SQL Server:
- Creating a single-node instance takes about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Creating a primary/standby instance takes about 15 to 18 minutes.
If it takes an extended time, an error may occur during the creation.
