create-db-cluster¶

Description¶

Creates a new Amazon Neptune DB cluster.

You can use the ReplicationSourceIdentifier parameter to create the DB cluster as a Read Replica of another DB cluster or Amazon Neptune DB instance.

Note that when you create a new cluster using CreateDBCluster directly, deletion protection is disabled by default (when you create a new production cluster in the console, deletion protection is enabled by default). You can only delete a DB cluster if its DeletionProtection field is set to false .

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

Specifies whether the DB cluster is encrypted.

--kms-key-id (string)

The Amazon 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 Amazon 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 is not specified in KmsKeyId :

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

If the StorageEncrypted parameter is true and ReplicationSourceIdentifier is not specified, then Amazon Neptune will use your default encryption key.

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

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

--pre-signed-url (string)

This parameter is not currently supported.

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

If set to true , enables Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) authentication for the entire DB cluster (this cannot be set at an instance level).

Default: false .

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

The list of log types that need to be enabled for exporting to CloudWatch Logs.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

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

A value that indicates whether the DB cluster has deletion protection enabled. The database can’t be deleted when deletion protection is enabled. By default, deletion protection is enabled.

--global-cluster-identifier (string)

The ID of the Neptune global database to which this new DB cluster should be added.

--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.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Output¶

DBCluster -> (structure)

Contains the details of an Amazon Neptune DB cluster.

This data type is used as a response element in the DescribeDBClusters action.

AllocatedStorage -> (integer)

AllocatedStorage always returns 1, because Neptune DB cluster storage size is not fixed, but instead automatically adjusts as needed.

AvailabilityZones -> (list)

Provides the list of EC2 Availability Zones that instances in the DB cluster can be created in.

(string)

BackupRetentionPeriod -> (integer)

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

CharacterSetName -> (string)

Not supported by Neptune.

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.

DBClusterIdentifier -> (string)

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

DBClusterParameterGroup -> (string)

Specifies the name of the DB cluster parameter group for the DB cluster.

As clients request new connections to the reader endpoint, Neptune distributes the connection requests among the Read Replicas in the DB cluster. This functionality can help balance your read workload across multiple Read Replicas in your DB cluster.

If a failover occurs, and the Read Replica that you are connected to is promoted to be the primary instance, your connection is dropped. To continue sending your read workload to other Read Replicas in the cluster, you can then reconnect to the reader endpoint.
