Provides cluster-level details including status, hardware and software configuration, VPC settings, bootstrap actions, instance groups and so on. Permissions needed for describe-cluster include elasticmapreduce:ListBootstrapActions, elasticmapreduce:ListInstanceFleets, elasticmapreduce:DescribeCluster, and elasticmapreduce:ListInstanceGroups.
See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
describe-cluster
--cluster-id <value>
--cluster-id
(string)
A unique string that identifies a cluster. The
create-cluster
command returns this identifier. You can use thelist-clusters
command to get cluster IDs.
See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
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 .
Command:
aws emr describe-cluster --cluster-id j-XXXXXXXX
