[New Resource]: aws rds modify-certificates

[jrobison-sb]

Description

As of this writing on August 27, 2023, the default RDS CA certificate is rds-ca-2019, which expires 2024-08-22. If a user creates a new RDS instance anytime prior to 2024-08-22, and they don't explicitly request a different CA certificate via the aws_rds_instance.foo.ca_cert_identifier attribute, then presumably their instance will get this rds-ca-2019 certificate.

AWS has an API for aws rds modify-certificates, which lets you override the account-level default for new RDS instances. It would be useful if Terraform had a resource which supported this API.

If such a resource existed, a person could upgrade all their existing RDS instances to a newer and longer-duration certificate (using the aws_rds_instance.foo.ca_cert_identifier attribute), and then use this resource to set the account-level default for new instances so that they no longer have to worry about the old certificate ever being used again.

Requested Resource(s) and/or Data Source(s)

• aws_rds_account_default_ca_certficate (or something along those lines)

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "aws_rds_account_default_ca_certficate" "account_default" {
  certificate-identifier = "rds-ca-rsa2048-g1"
}
