Viewing a blue/green deployment in Amazon RDS

You can view the details about a blue/green deployment using the Amazon Web Services Management Console, the Amazon CLI, or the RDS API.

You can also view and subscribe to events for information about a blue/green deployment. For more information, see Blue/green deployment events.

To view the details about a blue/green deployment

  1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/rds/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Databases, and then find the blue/green deployment in the list.

    Blue/green deployment in the database list

    The Role value for the blue/green deployment is Blue/Green Deployment.

  3. Choose the name of blue/green deployment that you want to view to display its details.

    Each tab has a section for the blue deployment and a section for the green deployment. For example, on the Configuration tab, the DB engine version might be different in the blue environment and in the green environment if you're upgrading the DB engine version in the green environment.

    The following image shows an example of the Connectivity & security tab:

    Blue/green deployment details

    The Connectivity & security tab also includes a section called Replication, which shows the current state of replication and replica lag between the blue and green environments. If the replication state is Replicating, the blue/green deployment is replicating successfully.

    For RDS for PostgreSQL blue/green deployments that use logical replication, the replication state can change to Replication degraded if you make unsupported DDL or large object changes in the blue environment. For more information, see Logical replication-specific limitations for blue/green deployments.

    The following image shows an example of the Configuration tab:
