AWS - RDS and Relational Databases

You wrote this AWS CLI command to create a manual snapshot but got an error:

aws rds create-db-snapshot --db-instance-identifier mydbinstance

What is missing that causes the error?

AThe <code>--region</code> parameter is required for all commands.

BThe <code>--db-instance-identifier</code> value is incorrect and must be the snapshot name.

CThe <code>--db-snapshot-identifier</code> parameter with a snapshot name is missing.

DThe command must be run with sudo privileges.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check required parameters for create-db-snapshot
The command requires both --db-instance-identifier and --db-snapshot-identifier to name the snapshot.
Step 2: Identify missing parameter
The command lacks --db-snapshot-identifier, so AWS cannot create the snapshot without a name.
Final Answer:
The --db-snapshot-identifier parameter with a snapshot name is missing. -> Option C
Quick Check:
Missing snapshot ID causes error [OK]

Quick Trick: Always provide snapshot name with --db-snapshot-identifier [OK]
