Service

Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB

API Action / Feature

Emulate enough of the Timestream InfluxDB control plane for Terraform to create/describe a DB instance and obtain an endpoint (even if the data plane is a containerized InfluxDB 2.x, similar to how RDS remaps Aurora engines).

There is currently no Timestream / Timestream Influx service module under Floci services/ and no docs/services/timestream*.md. Only IAM managed-policy name strings exist.

AWS Documentation

Why is this needed?

Stacks that provision Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB via Terraform or CloudFormation cannot create or describe a DB instance against Floci today — the control plane APIs are absent — so the same IaC that targets AWS either fails locally or must diverge onto a different Influx deployment model. Emulating Create/Describe (even with a containerized InfluxDB 2.x data plane behind the returned endpoint, analogous to how Floci remaps some RDS engines) would let one definition run against both AWS and Floci.
