A new playbook we can use to create RDSes

playbooks/create_rds.yml

+# This play will create an RDS for an application.
+# It can be run like so:
+#
+# ansible-playbook -c local -i 'localhost,' create_rds.yml -e@./db.yml
+#
+# where the content of db.yml contains the following settings 
+#
+# It can read from the same config as create_dbs_and_users.yml and needs this
+# part of that config
+# database_connection:
+#   login_user: "root"
+#   login_password: "super-secure-password"
+#
+# database_name: your-database-name
+# database_size: number of gigabytes (integer)
+# instance_type: Choose an AWS RDS instance type such as "db.t2.medium"
+# aws_region: a full region (such as us-east-1 or us-west-2) not an AZ
+# database_engine_version: You should use either or standard or the newest possible, such as "5.6.39"
+# maintenance_window: UTC time and day of week to allow maintenance "Mon:16:00-Mon:16:30"
+# vpc_security_groups: What security group in the VPC your RDS should belong to (this is separate from your app or elb SG)
+# subnet_group: a name of a group in the RDS console that contains subnets, it will pick the appropriate one
+# parameter_group: name of the parameter group with overriddent defaults for this RDS
+# backup_window: UTC time of the day to take a backup "08:00-08:30"
+# backup_retention: Days to keep backups (integer)
+# multi_zone: yes or no (whether this RDS is multi-az)
+# tags:
+#   environment: "environment"
+#   deployment:  "deployment"
+#   cluster:     "cluster"
+ 
+
