**To create a DB instance**

The following ``create-db-instance`` example launches a new DB instance. ::

    aws rds create-db-instance \
        --allocated-storage 20 --db-instance-class db.m1.small \
        --db-instance-identifier test-instance \
        --engine mysql \
        --enable-cloudwatch-logs-exports '["audit","error","general","slowquery"]' \
        --master-username master \
        --master-user-password secret99

Output::
