Parameters

Explanation in Terraform Registry

Provides an DocDB Cluster Resource Instance. A Cluster Instance Resource defines attributes that are specific to a single instance in a [DocDB Cluster][1]. You do not designate a primary and subsequent replicas. Instead, you simply add DocDB Instances and DocDB manages the replication. You can use the [count][3] meta-parameter to make multiple instances and join them all to the same DocDB Cluster, or you may specify different Cluster Instance resources with various instance_class sizes.
