This the first post in a multi-part series where we discuss how you can set up Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle with Terraform. Terraform by HashiCorp allows you to define the instructions for setting up the infrastructure as a code, simplifying and automating the process instead of doing everything manually.
Overview of solution
When it comes to provisioning an RDS for Oracle instance, Terraform can make the process efficient and reproducible. We walk you through the steps to provision an RDS for Oracle instance, modify the instance, and remove the instance.
Prerequisites
This post assumes that you’re familiar with Terraform, GitHub, and Git commands.
For this walkthrough, you need the following:
Set up your resources
Complete the following steps to set up your resources:
- Install git on your workstation.
- Clone the GitHub repo rds-oracle-terraform to your workstation by running the following command in your terminal window:
git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/rds-oracle-terraform
This command creates a directory named rds-oracle-terraform under your current directory. You can modify the variables as per your use case to deploy the modules.
- Export the AWS environment:
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<access_key>
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret_key>
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=<aws_region>
Build the database instance
Your directory contains the following files:
- main.tf – Main terraform code
- variables.tf – Variables for the code
- test.tfvars – Variables for your specific file
- versions.tf – The version support for Terraform
- outputs.tf – Information about your infrastructure
- Initialize the Terraform module:
[ec2-user@ip-xx-xx-xx-xx rds-oracle-terraform]$ ls
main.tf test.tfvars variables.tf versions.tf outputs.tf
The file test.tfvars holds the values of the RDS database identifier and database admin password.
[ec2-user@ip-xx-xx-xx-xx rds-oracle-terraform] $ terraform init -var-file="test.tfvars"
Initializing the backend...
Initializing provider plugins...
- Finding latest version of hashicorp/aws...
- Installing hashicorp/aws v5.32.0...
- Installed hashicorp/aws v5.32.0 (signed by HashiCorp)
Terraform has created a lock file .terraform.lock.hcl to record the provider
selections it made above. Include this file in your version control repository
so that Terraform can guarantee to make the same selections by default when
you run "terraform init" in the future.
Terraform has been successfully initialized!
You may now begin working with Terraform. Try running "terraform plan" to see
any changes that are required for your infrastructure. All Terraform commands
should now work.
If you ever set or change modules or backend configuration for Terraform,
rerun this command to reinitialize your working directory. If you forget, other
commands will detect it and remind you to do so if necessary.
- Run a plan to confirm what is to be built:
[ec2-user@ip-xx-xx-xx-xx rds-oracle-terraform]$ terraform plan -var-file="test.tfvars"
Terraform used the selected providers to generate the following execution plan. Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols:
+ create
Terraform will perform the following actions:

While it’s building, you will see the resource on the Amazon RDS console.
After 10–20 minutes, you will see a Creation Complete message when the instance is built.
The following screenshot shows the instance with the status Available on the Amazon RDS console.
Modify database settings using Terraform
To modify the RDS for Oracle database settings using Terraform, you can update the values in the variables.tf file, as shown in the following screenshot. In this example, we increase the DB storage to 400 GiB and modify the database backup retention to 7 days. This allows you to customize the database configuration according to your requirements. Please note that the maximum allocated storage must be increased by at least 10 percent.
Then run terraform plan -var-file=test.tfvars
To apply the changes listed in the preceding screenshot, run terraform apply -var-file=test.tfvars
You can monitor the instance status on the Amazon RDS console.
Clean up
AWS resources created by the Terraform RDS for Oracle instance incur costs as long as they are in use. When you no longer need the resources, clean them up by deleting the RDS for Oracle instance.
Run the following commands in your terminal window to remove the resource with a terraform destroy command:
[ec2-user@ip-xx-xx-xx-xx rds-oracle-terraform]$ terraform destroy -var-file="test.tfvars"
