Defining AutoScaling for Aurora DB Cluster in CloudFormation template

I need to add AutoScaling for my AWS Aurora DB Cluster, and I found this nice article about how to do it with the web console. But I couldn't find how to define it using CloudFormation template of the AWS::RDS::DBCluster resource.



Can someone direct me on how to define Auto Scaling Policies to my DB cluster using CloudFormation?

          You'll need to use the Application Autoscaling service. Below is an example CFN script but note that I haven't created any instances - only the cluster and the scaling policy.



          AWSTemplateFormatVersion: 2010-09-09
          Resources:
          MyDatabase:
          Type: AWS::RDS::DBCluster
          Properties:
          Engine: aurora
          EngineVersion: 5.6.10a
          MasterUsername: example
          MasterUserPassword: examplepassword

          AutoScalerTarget:
          Type: AWS::ApplicationAutoScaling::ScalableTarget
          Properties:
          MinCapacity: 1
          MaxCapacity: 8
          ResourceId: !Sub "cluster:${MyDatabase}"
          ScalableDimension: rds:cluster:ReadReplicaCount
          ServiceNamespace: rds
          RoleARN: !Sub "arn:aws:iam::${AWS::AccountId}:role/aws-service-role/rds.application-autoscaling.amazonaws.com/AWSServiceRoleForApplicationAutoScaling_RDSCluster"

          AutoScaler:
          Type: AWS::ApplicationAutoScaling::ScalingPolicy
          Properties:
          ScalingTargetId: !Ref AutoScalerTarget
          ServiceNamespace: rds
          PolicyName: Example
          PolicyType: TargetTrackingScaling
          ScalableDimension: rds:cluster:ReadReplicaCount
          TargetTrackingScalingPolicyConfiguration:
          PredefinedMetricSpecification:
          PredefinedMetricType: RDSReaderAverageCPUUtilization
          TargetValue: 50.0
          ScaleOutCooldown: 300
          ScaleInCooldown: 300
          DisableScaleIn: False


          Also, take a look at aurora serverless.
