aws-rds: Reboot an instance.
$ aws rds reboot-db-instance --db-instance-identifier ${instance_identifier}
try on your machine

The command "aws rds reboot-db-instance --db-instance-identifier ${instance_identifier}" is used to reboot a specific Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service) database instance.

Here's how the command works:

  • "aws" is the command-line interface (CLI) tool for interacting with various AWS services.
  • "rds" refers to the RDS service within AWS.
  • "reboot-db-instance" is the specific command to reboot an RDS database instance.
  • "--db-instance-identifier" is an option that specifies the identifier of the RDS database instance to be rebooted. The "${instance_identifier}" is a placeholder for the actual identifier, which needs to be provided when executing the command.

So, when you run this command and replace "${instance_identifier}" with the actual identifier of your RDS database instance, it will trigger a reboot for that specific instance. Rebooting an instance can help in situations where you need to refresh the system or resolve certain issues that may arise during database operations.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
