The error message here is the RDS API, and it suggests to me that the
instance_name contains invalid characters. The API response says that RDS
instance identifiers must have "only ASCII letters, digits, and hyphens;
and must not end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens".
The underscore character that you have in the instance_name is not in that
list of valid characters.
