create-db-cluster

Description

Creates a new Amazon Aurora DB cluster.

You can use the ReplicationSourceIdentifier parameter to create the DB cluster as a read replica of another DB cluster or Amazon RDS MySQL DB instance. For cross-region replication where the DB cluster identified by ReplicationSourceIdentifier is encrypted, you must also specify the PreSignedUrl parameter.

For more information on Amazon Aurora, see What Is Amazon Aurora? in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

Note

This action only applies to Aurora DB clusters.

--storage-encrypted | --no-storage-encrypted (boolean)

A value that indicates whether the DB cluster is encrypted.

--kms-key-id (string)

The AWS KMS key identifier for an encrypted DB cluster.

The KMS key identifier is the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the KMS encryption key. If you are creating a DB cluster with the same AWS account that owns the KMS encryption key used to encrypt the new DB cluster, then you can use the KMS key alias instead of the ARN for the KMS encryption key.

If an encryption key isn’t specified in KmsKeyId :

• If ReplicationSourceIdentifier identifies an encrypted source, then Amazon RDS will use the encryption key used to encrypt the source. Otherwise, Amazon RDS will use your default encryption key.

• If the StorageEncrypted parameter is enabled and ReplicationSourceIdentifier isn’t specified, then Amazon RDS will use your default encryption key.

AWS KMS creates the default encryption key for your AWS account. Your AWS account has a different default encryption key for each AWS Region.

If you create a read replica of an encrypted DB cluster in another AWS Region, you must set KmsKeyId to a KMS key ID that is valid in the destination AWS Region. This key is used to encrypt the read replica in that AWS Region.

--pre-signed-url (string)

A URL that contains a Signature Version 4 signed request for the CreateDBCluster action to be called in the source AWS Region where the DB cluster is replicated from. You only need to specify PreSignedUrl when you are performing cross-region replication from an encrypted DB cluster.

The pre-signed URL must be a valid request for the CreateDBCluster API action that can be executed in the source AWS Region that contains the encrypted DB cluster to be copied.

The pre-signed URL request must contain the following parameter values:

• KmsKeyId - The AWS KMS key identifier for the key to use to encrypt the copy of the DB cluster in the destination AWS Region. This should refer to the same KMS key for both the CreateDBCluster action that is called in the destination AWS Region, and the action contained in the pre-signed URL.

• DestinationRegion - The name of the AWS Region that Aurora read replica will be created in.

• ReplicationSourceIdentifier - The DB cluster identifier for the encrypted DB cluster to be copied. This identifier must be in the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) format for the source AWS Region. For example, if you are copying an encrypted DB cluster from the us-west-2 AWS Region, then your ReplicationSourceIdentifier would look like Example: arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:cluster:aurora-cluster1 .

To learn how to generate a Signature Version 4 signed request, see Authenticating Requests: Using Query Parameters (AWS Signature Version 4) and Signature Version 4 Signing Process .

Note

If you are using an AWS SDK tool or the AWS CLI, you can specify SourceRegion (or --source-region for the AWS CLI) instead of specifying PreSignedUrl manually. Specifying SourceRegion autogenerates a pre-signed URL that is a valid request for the operation that can be executed in the source AWS Region.

--enable-iam-database-authentication | --no-enable-iam-database-authentication (boolean)

A value that indicates whether to enable mapping of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) accounts to database accounts. By default, mapping is disabled.

For more information, see IAM Database Authentication in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

--backtrack-window (long)

The target backtrack window, in seconds. To disable backtracking, set this value to 0.

Note

Currently, Backtrack is only supported for Aurora MySQL DB clusters.

Default: 0

Constraints:

• If specified, this value must be set to a number from 0 to 259,200 (72 hours).

--enable-cloudwatch-logs-exports (list)

The list of log types that need to be enabled for exporting to CloudWatch Logs. The values in the list depend on the DB engine being used. For more information, see Publishing Database Logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs in the Amazon Aurora User Guide .

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--engine-mode (string)

The DB engine mode of the DB cluster, either provisioned , serverless , parallelquery , global , or multimaster .

Note

global engine mode only applies for global database clusters created with Aurora MySQL version 5.6.10a. For higher Aurora MySQL versions, the clusters in a global database use provisioned engine mode.

Limitations and requirements apply to some DB engine modes. For more information, see the following sections in the Amazon Aurora User Guide :

• Limitations of Aurora Serverless

• Limitations of Parallel Query

• Requirements for Aurora Global Databases

• Limitations of Multi-Master Clusters

--scaling-configuration (structure)

For DB clusters in serverless DB engine mode, the scaling properties of the DB cluster.

MinCapacity -> (integer)

The minimum capacity for an Aurora DB cluster in serverless DB engine mode.

For Aurora MySQL, valid capacity values are 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , 32 , 64 , 128 , and 256 .

For Aurora PostgreSQL, valid capacity values are 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , 32 , 64 , 192 , and 384 .

The minimum capacity must be less than or equal to the maximum capacity.

MaxCapacity -> (integer)

The maximum capacity for an Aurora DB cluster in serverless DB engine mode.

For Aurora MySQL, valid capacity values are 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , 32 , 64 , 128 , and 256 .

For Aurora PostgreSQL, valid capacity values are 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , 32 , 64 , 192 , and 384 .

The maximum capacity must be greater than or equal to the minimum capacity.

AutoPause -> (boolean)

A value that indicates whether to allow or disallow automatic pause for an Aurora DB cluster in serverless DB engine mode. A DB cluster can be paused only when it’s idle (it has no connections).

Note

If a DB cluster is paused for more than seven days, the DB cluster might be backed up with a snapshot. In this case, the DB cluster is restored when there is a request to connect to it.

SecondsUntilAutoPause -> (integer)

The time, in seconds, before an Aurora DB cluster in serverless mode is paused.

TimeoutAction -> (string)

The action to take when the timeout is reached, either ForceApplyCapacityChange or RollbackCapacityChange .

ForceApplyCapacityChange sets the capacity to the specified value as soon as possible.

RollbackCapacityChange , the default, ignores the capacity change if a scaling point isn’t found in the timeout period.

Warning

If you specify ForceApplyCapacityChange , connections that prevent Aurora Serverless from finding a scaling point might be dropped.

For more information, see Autoscaling for Aurora Serverless in the Amazon Aurora User Guide .

Shorthand Syntax:

MinCapacity=integer,MaxCapacity=integer,AutoPause=boolean,SecondsUntilAutoPause=integer,TimeoutAction=string

JSON Syntax:

{

--global-cluster-identifier (string)

The global cluster ID of an Aurora cluster that becomes the primary cluster in the new global database cluster.

--enable-http-endpoint | --no-enable-http-endpoint (boolean)

A value that indicates whether to enable the HTTP endpoint for an Aurora Serverless DB cluster. By default, the HTTP endpoint is disabled.

When enabled, the HTTP endpoint provides a connectionless web service API for running SQL queries on the Aurora Serverless DB cluster. You can also query your database from inside the RDS console with the query editor.

For more information, see Using the Data API for Aurora Serverless in the Amazon Aurora User Guide .

--copy-tags-to-snapshot | --no-copy-tags-to-snapshot (boolean)

A value that indicates whether to copy all tags from the DB cluster to snapshots of the DB cluster. The default is not to copy them.

--domain (string)

The Active Directory directory ID to create the DB cluster in.

For Amazon Aurora DB clusters, Amazon RDS can use Kerberos Authentication to authenticate users that connect to the DB cluster. For more information, see Kerberos Authentication in the Amazon Aurora User Guide .

--domain-iam-role-name (string)

Specify the name of the IAM role to be used when making API calls to the Directory Service.

--enable-global-write-forwarding | --no-enable-global-write-forwarding (boolean)

A value that indicates whether to enable write operations to be forwarded from this cluster to the primary cluster in an Aurora global database. The resulting changes are replicated back to this cluster. This parameter only applies to DB clusters that are secondary clusters in an Aurora global database. By default, Aurora disallows write operations for secondary clusters.

--source-region (string)

The ID of the region that contains the source for the db cluster.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean) Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

Example 1: To create a MySQL 5.7–compatible DB cluster

The following create-db-cluster example create a MySQL 5.7-compatible DB cluster. Replace the sample password secret99 with a secure password. The writer DB instance is the first instance that is created in a DB cluster. When you use the console to create a DB cluster, Amazon RDS automatically creates the writer DB instance for your DB cluster. However, when you use the AWS CLI to create a DB cluster, you must explicitly create the writer DB instance for your DB cluster using the create-db-instance AWS CLI command.

aws rds create-db-cluster \
    --db-cluster-identifier sample-cluster \
    --engine aurora-mysql \

BackupRetentionPeriod -> (integer)

Specifies the number of days for which automatic DB snapshots are retained.

CharacterSetName -> (string)

If present, specifies the name of the character set that this cluster is associated with.

DatabaseName -> (string)

Contains the name of the initial database of this DB cluster that was provided at create time, if one was specified when the DB cluster was created. This same name is returned for the life of the DB cluster.

Describes an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that is associated with a DB cluster.

RoleArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role that is associated with the DB cluster.

Status -> (string)

Describes the state of association between the IAM role and the DB cluster. The Status property returns one of the following values:

• ACTIVE - the IAM role ARN is associated with the DB cluster and can be used to access other AWS services on your behalf.

• PENDING - the IAM role ARN is being associated with the DB cluster.

• INVALID - the IAM role ARN is associated with the DB cluster, but the DB cluster is unable to assume the IAM role in order to access other AWS services on your behalf.

FeatureName -> (string)

The name of the feature associated with the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role. For the list of supported feature names, see DBEngineVersion .

IAMDatabaseAuthenticationEnabled -> (boolean)

A value that indicates whether the mapping of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) accounts to database accounts is enabled.

CloneGroupId -> (string)

Identifies the clone group to which the DB cluster is associated.

ClusterCreateTime -> (timestamp)

Specifies the time when the DB cluster was created, in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).

EarliestBacktrackTime -> (timestamp)

The earliest time to which a DB cluster can be backtracked.

BacktrackWindow -> (long)

The target backtrack window, in seconds. If this value is set to 0, backtracking is disabled for the DB cluster. Otherwise, backtracking is enabled.

BacktrackConsumedChangeRecords -> (long)

The number of change records stored for Backtrack.

EnabledCloudwatchLogsExports -> (list)

A list of log types that this DB cluster is configured to export to CloudWatch Logs.

Log types vary by DB engine. For information about the log types for each DB engine, see Amazon RDS Database Log Files in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

(string)

Capacity -> (integer)

The current capacity of an Aurora Serverless DB cluster. The capacity is 0 (zero) when the cluster is paused.

For more information about Aurora Serverless, see Using Amazon Aurora Serverless in the Amazon Aurora User Guide .

EngineMode -> (string)

The DB engine mode of the DB cluster, either provisioned , serverless , parallelquery , global , or multimaster .

Note

global engine mode only applies for global database clusters created with Aurora MySQL version 5.6.10a. For higher Aurora MySQL versions, the clusters in a global database use provisioned engine mode. To check if a DB cluster is part of a global database, use DescribeGlobalClusters instead of checking the EngineMode return value from DescribeDBClusters .

ScalingConfigurationInfo -> (structure)

Shows the scaling configuration for an Aurora DB cluster in serverless DB engine mode.

For more information, see Using Amazon Aurora Serverless in the Amazon Aurora User Guide .

MinCapacity -> (integer)

The maximum capacity for the Aurora DB cluster in serverless DB engine mode.

MaxCapacity -> (integer)

The maximum capacity for an Aurora DB cluster in serverless DB engine mode.

AutoPause -> (boolean)

A value that indicates whether automatic pause is allowed for the Aurora DB cluster in serverless DB engine mode.

When the value is set to false for an Aurora Serverless DB cluster, the DB cluster automatically resumes.

SecondsUntilAutoPause -> (integer)

The remaining amount of time, in seconds, before the Aurora DB cluster in serverless mode is paused. A DB cluster can be paused only when it’s idle (it has no connections).

TimeoutAction -> (string)

The timeout action of a call to ModifyCurrentDBClusterCapacity , either ForceApplyCapacityChange or RollbackCapacityChange .

DeletionProtection -> (boolean)

Indicates if the DB cluster has deletion protection enabled. The database can’t be deleted when deletion protection is enabled.

HttpEndpointEnabled -> (boolean)

A value that indicates whether the HTTP endpoint for an Aurora Serverless DB cluster is enabled.

When enabled, the HTTP endpoint provides a connectionless web service API for running SQL queries on the Aurora Serverless DB cluster. You can also query your database from inside the RDS console with the query editor.

For more information, see Using the Data API for Aurora Serverless in the Amazon Aurora User Guide .

ActivityStreamMode -> (string)

The mode of the database activity stream. Database events such as a change or access generate an activity stream event. The database session can handle these events either synchronously or asynchronously.

ActivityStreamStatus -> (string)

The status of the database activity stream.

ActivityStreamKmsKeyId -> (string)

The AWS KMS key identifier used for encrypting messages in the database activity stream.

ActivityStreamKinesisStreamName -> (string)

The name of the Amazon Kinesis data stream used for the database activity stream.

CopyTagsToSnapshot -> (boolean)

Specifies whether tags are copied from the DB cluster to snapshots of the DB cluster.

CrossAccountClone -> (boolean)

Specifies whether the DB cluster is a clone of a DB cluster owned by a different AWS account.

DomainMemberships -> (list)

The Active Directory Domain membership records associated with the DB cluster.

(structure)

An Active Directory Domain membership record associated with the DB instance or cluster.
