Resource definition

What this resource looks like

This is the CUE shape a Praxis template uses to declare a DBParameterGroup. The resource key is local to the template; metadata.name supplies its stable Praxis identity.

CUE example
resources: {
  dbParamGroup: {
  	apiVersion: "praxis.io/alpha"
  	kind:       "DBParameterGroup"
  	metadata: name: "\(_naming.prefix)-db-params"
  	spec: {
  		region:      _naming.region
  		family:      variables.dbFamily
  		description: "Custom PostgreSQL parameters for \(_naming.prefix)"
  		parameters: {
  			"shared_buffers":  "256MB"
  			"max_connections":  "200"
  			"log_statement":    "all"
  			"log_min_duration_statement": "500"
  		}
  		tags: #DataTags
  	}
  }
}

Read without ownership

Data-source lookup

A data block reads an existing DBParameterGroup and exposes its outputs without storing lifecycle state. The generic filter surface accepts id, name, and tag; supported combinations depend on the AWS identity used by this resource.

CUE data source
data: existing: {
  kind: "DBParameterGroup"
  region: "us-west-2"
  filter: {
    name: "replace-with-provider-name"
  }
}

Adopt existing infrastructure

Import

Import persists Praxis state for an existing AWS resource. For this kind, supply: Provider identifier for the existing DBParameterGroup. The example starts in observed mode so Praxis reports drift without correcting it.

CLI
praxis import DBParameterGroup \
  --id <provider-identifier> \
  --region us-west-2 \
  --account production \
  --observe
