Redshift reserved node payment pending remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration of a Redshift Reserved Node having the status “Payment Pending” in AWS using AWS CLI, you can follow these steps:

List the Redshift Reserved Nodes to identify the one with the status “Payment Pending”:

aws redshift describe-reserved-nodes --query "ReservedNodes[?State=='payment-pending']"

Identify the Reserved Node ID of the node with the status “Payment Pending”.
Modify the Reserved Node to change the payment status to “active” using the following command:

aws redshift modify-reserved-node --reserved-node-id <ReservedNodeID> --reserved-node-offering-id <ReservedNodeOfferingID> --target-reserved-node-offering-id <NewReservedNodeOfferingID>

Replace <ReservedNodeID>, <ReservedNodeOfferingID>, and <NewReservedNodeOfferingID> with the actual values of the Reserved Node ID, the current Reserved Node Offering ID, and the new Reserved Node Offering ID respectively.

Check the status of the Reserved Node to ensure it has been updated successfully:

aws redshift describe-reserved-nodes --reserved-node-id <ReservedNodeID> --query "ReservedNodes[*].[ReservedNodeOfferingType,State]"

After following these steps, the Redshift Reserved Node should no longer have the status “Payment Pending” and should be active.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration of a Redshift Reserved Node having a status of “Payment Pending” in AWS using Python, you can follow these steps:

Install the Boto3 library:

pip install boto3

Use the following Python script to check the status of the Redshift Reserved Nodes and modify the status if it is “Payment Pending”:

import boto3

def remediate_redshift_reserved_node():
    redshift = boto3.client('redshift')

    # Describe reserved nodes
    response = redshift.describe_reserved_nodes()

    for node in response['ReservedNodes']:
        if node['State'] == 'payment-pending':
            # Modify the status to active
            redshift.modify_reserved_node(
                ReservedNodeId=node['ReservedNodeId'],
                ReservedNodeOfferingType=node['ReservedNodeOfferingType'],
                TargetReservedNodeOfferingId=node['TargetReservedNodeOfferingId']
            )
            print(f"Reserved Node {node['ReservedNodeId']} status has been remediated.")
        else:
            print(f"Reserved Node {node['ReservedNodeId']} does not have a status of 'Payment Pending'.")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    remediate_redshift_reserved_node()

Run the Python script, and it will check the status of all the Redshift Reserved Nodes. If it finds any node with a status of “Payment Pending”, it will modify the status to “Active”.

This script will help you automate the process of remediating Redshift Reserved Nodes with a status of “Payment Pending” in AWS using Python and the Boto3 library.
