Introduction

This action leverages AWS EC2 API to trigger a RDS Cluster failover. This is done by promoting a replica to the primary instance.

Use Cases

• Understand how a service behaves when the database is performing a failover
• Understand the performance impact when the database performs a failover, e.g., cold caches.

Rollback

Note that this attack does not support any rollback. The attack triggers the reboot via API. The failover can't be canceled.

Parameters

No parameters.
