Synopsis

  create-db-cluster-snapshot
--db-cluster-snapshot-identifier <value>
--db-cluster-identifier <value>
[--tags <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--db-cluster-snapshot-identifier (string)

The identifier of the DB cluster snapshot. This parameter is stored as a lowercase string.

Constraints:

  • Must contain from 1 to 63 letters, numbers, or hyphens.

  • First character must be a letter.

  • Can’t end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.

Example: my-cluster1-snapshot1

--db-cluster-identifier (string)

The identifier of the DB cluster to create a snapshot for. This parameter isn’t case-sensitive.

Constraints:

  • Must match the identifier of an existing DBCluster.

Example: my-cluster1

--tags (list)

The tags to be assigned to the DB cluster snapshot.

(structure)

Metadata assigned to an Amazon RDS resource consisting of a key-value pair.

Key -> (string)

A key is the required name of the tag. The string value can be from 1 to 128 Unicode characters in length and can’t be prefixed with “aws:” or “rds:”. The string can only contain only the set of Unicode letters, digits, white-space, ‘_’, ‘.’, ‘:’, ‘/’, ‘=’, ‘+’, ‘-‘, ‘@’ (Java regex: “^([\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}_.:/=+-@]*)$”).

Value -> (string)

A value is the optional value of the tag. The string value can be from 1 to 256 Unicode characters in length and can’t be prefixed with “aws:” or “rds:”. The string can only contain only the set of Unicode letters, digits, white-space, ‘_’, ‘.’, ‘:’, ‘/’, ‘=’, ‘+’, ‘-‘, ‘@’ (Java regex: “^([\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}_.:/=+-@]*)$”).

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--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.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

To create a DB cluster snapshot

The following create-db-cluster-snapshot example creates a DB cluster snapshot.

aws rds create-db-cluster-snapshot \
    --db-cluster-identifier mydbcluster \
    --db-cluster-snapshot-identifier mydbclustersnapshot
