dbParameterGroupFamily

The DB cluster parameter group family name. A DB cluster parameter group can be associated with one and only one DB cluster parameter group family, and can be applied only to a DB cluster running a database engine and engine version compatible with that DB cluster parameter group family.

Aurora MySQL

Aurora PostgreSQL

RDS for PostgreSQL

To list all of the available parameter group families for a DB engine, use the following command:

aws rds describe-db-engine-versions --query "DBEngineVersions[].DBParameterGroupFamily" --engine <engine>

For example, to list all of the available parameter group families for the Aurora PostgreSQL DB engine, use the following command:

aws rds describe-db-engine-versions --query "DBEngineVersions[].DBParameterGroupFamily" --engine aurora-postgresql

The output contains duplicates.

The following are the valid DB engine values:

  • aurora-mysql

  • aurora-postgresql

  • mysql

  • postgres
