Note
The current Drupal version requires Drush version 11 or later. Newer versions of Drush, that is, version 11 and later, must be installed via Composer. Acquia does not manage the update to the newer versions. For more information, see About Drush on Cloud Platform.
When referencing an environment-specific database in an Cloud Platform Drush
command
you must not add your sitename’s
environment (for example, stg) to the database name, as shown in the
following example:
drush @mysitegroup.test ac-database-instance-backup mysitegroupstg
Using the previous command will give you the following error, because no
database named mysitegroupstg exists:
message : Resource not found
API status code 404
The error occurs because Cloud Platform uses the same database name regardless of the environment. Appending the environment to the database name changes the database named in the command to a database that does not exist in your subscription, resulting in a 404 error.
The following command is an example of a correctly-formatted command:
drush @mysitegroup.test ac-database-instance-backup mysitegroup
