Policy: AWS > RDS > DB Instance > Allowed > Database Engine

Determine the action to take when an AWS RDS db instance is created with a database engine that is not allowed.

The Allowed > Database Engine control checks if the db instance is created with an allowed database engine based on the Allowed > Database Engine > * policies. If the db instance is created with a database engine that is not in the allowed list, the control raises an alarm and takes the defined enforcement action.

For any enforcement actions that specify if new, e.g., Enforce: Delete if database engine not allowed and resource is new, the control will only take the enforcement actions for resources created within the last 60 minutes.
