create-global-cluster

Description

Creates an Amazon DocumentDB global cluster that can span multiple multiple Regions. The global cluster contains one primary cluster with read-write capability, and up-to give read-only secondary clusters. Global clusters uses storage-based fast replication across regions with latencies less than one second, using dedicated infrastructure with no impact to your workload’s performance.

You can create a global cluster that is initially empty, and then add a primary and a secondary to it. Or you can specify an existing cluster during the create operation, and this cluster becomes the primary of the global cluster.

Note

This action only applies to Amazon DocumentDB clusters.

Synopsis

  create-global-cluster
--global-cluster-identifier <value>
[--source-db-cluster-identifier <value>]
[--engine <value>]
[--engine-version <value>]
[--deletion-protection | --no-deletion-protection]
[--database-name <value>]
[--storage-encrypted | --no-storage-encrypted]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--global-cluster-identifier (string)

The cluster identifier of the new global cluster.

--source-db-cluster-identifier (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) to use as the primary cluster of the global cluster. This parameter is optional.

--engine (string)

The name of the database engine to be used for this cluster.

--engine-version (string)

The engine version of the global cluster.

--deletion-protection | --no-deletion-protection (boolean)

The deletion protection setting for the new global cluster. The global cluster can’t be deleted when deletion protection is enabled.

--database-name (string)

The name for your database of up to 64 alpha-numeric characters. If you do not provide a name, Amazon DocumentDB will not create a database in the global cluster you are creating.

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

The storage encryption setting for the new global 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.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Output

GlobalCluster -> (structure)

A data type representing an Amazon DocumentDB global cluster.

GlobalClusterIdentifier -> (string)

Contains a user-supplied global cluster identifier. This identifier is the unique key that identifies a global cluster.

GlobalClusterResourceId -> (string)

The Region-unique, immutable identifier for the global database cluster. This identifier is found in AWS CloudTrail log entries whenever the AWS KMS customer master key (CMK) for the cluster is accessed.

GlobalClusterArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the global cluster.

Status -> (string)

Specifies the current state of this global cluster.

Engine -> (string)

The Amazon DocumentDB database engine used by the global cluster.

EngineVersion -> (string)

Indicates the database engine version.

DatabaseName -> (string)

The default database name within the new global cluster.

StorageEncrypted -> (boolean)

The storage encryption setting for the global cluster.

DeletionProtection -> (boolean)

The deletion protection setting for the new global cluster.

GlobalClusterMembers -> (list)

The list of cluster IDs for secondary clusters within the global cluster. Currently limited to one item.

(structure)

A data structure with information about any primary and secondary clusters associated with an Amazon DocumentDB global clusters.

DBClusterArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for each Amazon DocumentDB cluster.

Readers -> (list)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for each read-only secondary cluster associated with the Aurora global cluster.

(string)

IsWriter -> (boolean)

Specifies whether the Amazon DocumentDB cluster is the primary cluster (that is, has read-write capability) for the Amazon DocumentDB global cluster with which it is associated.
