Aurora last backup recovery point created remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration of Aurora DB clusters not having a recovery point in AWS RDS using AWS CLI, you can follow these steps:

Create a DB Cluster Snapshot:
- Use the following AWS CLI command to create a manual snapshot of your Aurora DB cluster:
  aws rds create-db-cluster-snapshot --db-cluster-identifier <your-db-cluster-identifier> --db-cluster-snapshot-identifier <your-snapshot-name>
- Replace <your-db-cluster-identifier> with the identifier of your Aurora DB cluster and <your-snapshot-name> with the name you want to give to the snapshot.
Enable Automated Backups:
- To ensure that automated backups are enabled for your Aurora DB cluster, use the following AWS CLI command:
  aws rds modify-db-cluster --db-cluster-identifier <your-db-cluster-identifier> --backup-retention-period <retention-period-in-days>
- Replace <your-db-cluster-identifier> with the identifier of your Aurora DB cluster and <retention-period-in-days> with the number of days you want to retain automated backups.

Verify Backup Configuration:

Confirm that automated backups are enabled and the backup retention period is set correctly by running the following AWS CLI command:

aws rds describe-db-clusters --db-cluster-identifier <your-db-cluster-identifier> --query "DBClusters[*].{DBClusterIdentifier:DBClusterIdentifier, BackupRetentionPeriod:BackupRetentionPeriod, BackupWindow:PreferredBackupWindow, BackupRetentionPeriod:BackupRetentionPeriod}"

This command will display the backup configuration details of your Aurora DB cluster.

By following these steps and ensuring that you have created a manual snapshot, enabled automated backups, and verified the backup configuration, you can remediate the misconfiguration of Aurora DB clusters not having a recovery point in AWS RDS using AWS CLI.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration of Aurora DB clusters not having a recovery point in AWS RDS using Python, you can follow these steps:

Install Boto3: Ensure that you have the Boto3 library installed in your Python environment. Boto3 is the AWS SDK for Python, which allows you to interact with AWS services.

pip install boto3

Create a Python script: Create a Python script with the following code to enable point-in-time recovery for your Aurora DB clusters.

import boto3

# Specify the AWS region where your Aurora DB cluster is located
region = 'your_aws_region'

# Specify the name of your Aurora DB cluster
db_cluster_identifier = 'your_db_cluster_identifier'

# Create a Boto3 RDS client
client = boto3.client('rds', region_name=region)

# Enable point-in-time recovery for the Aurora DB cluster
response = client.modify_db_cluster(
    DBClusterIdentifier=db_cluster_identifier,
    BackupRetentionPeriod=7,  # Specify the number of days to retain automated backups
    PreferredBackupWindow='04:00-04:30'  # Specify the preferred backup window
)

print("Point-in-time recovery enabled for Aurora DB cluster")

Replace placeholders: Replace your_aws_region with the AWS region where your Aurora DB cluster is located and your_db_cluster_identifier with the name of your Aurora DB cluster.
Run the script: Execute the Python script in your environment. This will enable point-in-time recovery for your Aurora DB cluster, ensuring that recovery points are available for data restoration.

By following these steps and running the Python script, you can remediate the misconfiguration of Aurora DB clusters not having a recovery point in AWS RDS.
