create-db-cluster-snapshot¶

Description¶

Creates a snapshot of a cluster.

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 cluster snapshot. This parameter is stored as a lowercase string.

Constraints:

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

The first character must be a letter.

Cannot end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.

Example: my-cluster-snapshot1

--db-cluster-identifier (string)

The identifier of the cluster to create a snapshot for. This parameter is not case sensitive.

Constraints:

Must match the identifier of an existing DBCluster .

Example: my-cluster

--tags (list)

The tags to be assigned to the cluster snapshot.

(structure)

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

Key -> (string)

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 contain only the set of Unicode letters, digits, white space, ‘_’, ‘.’, ‘/’, ‘=’, ‘+’, ‘-‘ (Java regex: “^([\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}_.:/=+-]*)$”).

Value -> (string)

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 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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To create a manual Amazon DocumentDB cluster snapshot

The following create-db-cluster-snapshot example creates an Amazon DB cluster snapshot named sample-cluster-snapshot.

aws docdb create-db-cluster-snapshot \
   --db-cluster-identifier sample-cluster \
   --db-cluster-snapshot-identifier sample-cluster-snapshot

Output:

{
    "DBClusterSnapshot": {
        "MasterUsername": "master-user",
        "SnapshotCreateTime": "2019-03-18T18:27:14.794Z",
        "AvailabilityZones": [
            "us-west-2a",
            "us-west-2b",
            "us-west-2c",
            "us-west-2d",
            "us-west-2e",
            "us-west-2f"
        ],
        "SnapshotType": "manual",
        "DBClusterSnapshotArn": "arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:cluster-snapshot:sample-cluster-snapshot",
        "EngineVersion": "3.6.0",
        "PercentProgress": 0,
        "DBClusterSnapshotIdentifier": "sample-cluster-snapshot",
        "Engine": "docdb",
        "DBClusterIdentifier": "sample-cluster",
        "Status": "creating",
        "ClusterCreateTime": "2019-03-15T20:29:58.836Z",
        "Port": 0,
        "StorageEncrypted": false,

    }
}
