/#Action=StopDBInstance

http://rds.{region}.amazonaws.com/#Action=StopDBInstance

Stops an Amazon RDS DB instance. When you stop a DB instance, Amazon RDS retains the DB instance's metadata, including its endpoint, DB parameter group, and option group membership. Amazon RDS also retains the transaction logs so you can do a point-in-time restore if necessary. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_StopInstance.html"> Stopping an Amazon RDS DB Instance Temporarily</a> in the Amazon RDS User Guide. <note> This command doesn't apply to RDS Custom, Aurora MySQL, and Aurora PostgreSQL. For Aurora clusters, use <code>StopDBCluster</code> instead. </note>
