create-db-subnet-group¶

Description¶

Creates a new DB subnet group. DB subnet groups must contain at least one subnet in at least two AZs in the Amazon Web Services Region.

Synopsis¶

  create-db-subnet-group
--db-subnet-group-name <value>
--db-subnet-group-description <value>
--subnet-ids <value>
[--tags <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--db-subnet-group-name (string)

The name for the DB subnet group. This value is stored as a lowercase string.

Constraints:

Must contain no more than 255 letters, numbers, periods, underscores, spaces, or hyphens.

Must not be default.

First character must be a letter.

Example: mydbsubnetgroup

--db-subnet-group-description (string)

The description for the DB subnet group.

--subnet-ids (list)

The EC2 Subnet IDs for the DB subnet group.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--tags (list)

Tags to assign to the DB subnet group.

(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 subnet group

The following create-db-subnet-group example creates a DB subnet group called mysubnetgroup using existing subnets.

aws rds create-db-subnet-group \
    --db-subnet-group-name mysubnetgroup \
    --db-subnet-group-description "test DB subnet group" \
    --subnet-ids '["subnet-0a1dc4e1a6f123456","subnet-070dd7ecb3aaaaaaa","subnet-00f5b198bc0abcdef"]'

Output:

{
    "DBSubnetGroup": {
        "DBSubnetGroupName": "mysubnetgroup",
        "DBSubnetGroupDescription": "test DB subnet group",
        "VpcId": "vpc-0f08e7610a1b2c3d4",
        "SubnetGroupStatus": "Complete",
        "Subnets": [
            {
                "SubnetIdentifier": "subnet-070dd7ecb3aaaaaaa",
                "SubnetAvailabilityZone": {
                    "Name": "us-west-2b"
                },
                "SubnetStatus": "Active"
            },
            {
                "SubnetIdentifier": "subnet-00f5b198bc0abcdef",
                "SubnetAvailabilityZone": {
                    "Name": "us-west-2d"
                },
                "SubnetStatus": "Active"
            },
            {
                "SubnetIdentifier": "subnet-0a1dc4e1a6f123456",
                "SubnetAvailabilityZone": {
                    "Name": "us-west-2b"
                },
                "SubnetStatus": "Active"
            }
        ],
        "DBSubnetGroupArn": "arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:0123456789012:subgrp:mysubnetgroup"
    }
}
