name : restore-db-instance-from-db-snapshot.rst **To restore a DB instance from a DB snapshot** The following ``restore-db-instance-from-db-snapshot`` example creates a new DB instance named ``db7-new-instance`` with the ``db.t3.small`` DB instance class from the specified DB snapshot. The source DB instance from which the snapshot was taken uses a deprecated DB instance class, so you can't upgrade it. :: aws rds restore-db-instance-from-db-snapshot \ --db-instance-identifier db7-new-instance \ --db-snapshot-identifier db7-test-snapshot \ --db-instance-class db.t3.small Output:: { "DBInstance": { "DBInstanceIdentifier": "db7-new-instance", "DBInstanceClass": "db.t3.small", "Engine": "mysql", "DBInstanceStatus": "creating", ...output omitted...
