RFE: Support creating instance from XtraBackup (API_RestoreDBInstanceFromS3)

[jasonmcintosh]

We'd like the ability to restore from an XtraBackup stored in an S3 bucket. This is VERY fast creation of RDS databases vs. doing a load from a CSV file or similar. I'm working on updating the code to support this myself, but wanted to present the issue here for reference later.

Terraform Version

0.10.2

Affected Resource(s)

aws_db_instance

Terraform Configuration Files

Here's a conceptual of what this could look like...

resource "aws_db_instance" "myinstance" {
restore_s3_bucket "mybucket"
restore_s3_bucket_path "backups"
restore_s3_role "rolearn"
}

Option (I like this one better)

resource "aws_db_instance" "myinstance" {
  restore_s3 {
    bucket  "mybucket"
    path "backups"
    role "restricted_s3_role_arn"
  }
}
