create-db-cluster

Description

Creates a new Amazon Aurora DB cluster or Multi-AZ DB cluster.

If you create an Aurora DB cluster, the request creates an empty cluster. You must explicitly create the writer instance for your DB cluster using the CreateDBInstance operation. If you create a Multi-AZ DB cluster, the request creates a writer and two reader DB instances for you, each in a different Availability Zone.

You can use the ReplicationSourceIdentifier parameter to create an Amazon Aurora DB cluster as a read replica of another DB cluster or Amazon RDS for MySQL or PostgreSQL DB instance. For more information about Amazon Aurora, see What is Amazon Aurora? in the Amazon Aurora User Guide .

You can also use the ReplicationSourceIdentifier parameter to create a Multi-AZ DB cluster read replica with an RDS for MySQL or PostgreSQL DB instance as the source. For more information about Multi-AZ DB clusters, see Multi-AZ DB cluster deployments in the Amazon RDS User Guide .

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

Specifies whether the DB cluster is encrypted.

Valid for Cluster Type: Aurora DB clusters and Multi-AZ DB clusters

--kms-key-id (string)

The Amazon Web Services KMS key identifier for an encrypted DB cluster.

The Amazon Web Services KMS key identifier is the key ARN, key ID, alias ARN, or alias name for the KMS key. To use a KMS key in a different Amazon Web Services account, specify the key ARN or alias ARN.

When a KMS key isn’t specified in KmsKeyId :

If ReplicationSourceIdentifier identifies an encrypted source, then Amazon RDS uses the KMS key used to encrypt the source. Otherwise, Amazon RDS uses your default KMS key.
If the StorageEncrypted parameter is enabled and ReplicationSourceIdentifier isn’t specified, then Amazon RDS uses your default KMS key.

There is a default KMS key for your Amazon Web Services account. Your Amazon Web Services account has a different default KMS key for each Amazon Web Services Region.

If you create a read replica of an encrypted DB cluster in another Amazon Web Services Region, make sure to set KmsKeyId to a KMS key identifier that is valid in the destination Amazon Web Services Region. This KMS key is used to encrypt the read replica in that Amazon Web Services Region.

Valid for Cluster Type: Aurora DB clusters and Multi-AZ DB clusters

--pre-signed-url (string)

When you are replicating a DB cluster from one Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) Region to another, an URL that contains a Signature Version 4 signed request for the CreateDBCluster operation to be called in the source Amazon Web Services Region where the DB cluster is replicated from. Specify PreSignedUrl only when you are performing cross-Region replication from an encrypted DB cluster.

The presigned URL must be a valid request for the CreateDBCluster API operation that can run in the source Amazon Web Services Region that contains the encrypted DB cluster to copy.

The presigned URL request must contain the following parameter values:

KmsKeyId - The KMS key identifier for the KMS key to use to encrypt the copy of the DB cluster in the destination Amazon Web Services Region. This should refer to the same KMS key for both the CreateDBCluster operation that is called in the destination Amazon Web Services Region, and the operation contained in the presigned URL.
DestinationRegion - The name of the Amazon Web Services Region that Aurora read replica will be created in.
ReplicationSourceIdentifier - The DB cluster identifier for the encrypted DB cluster to be copied. This identifier must be in the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) format for the source Amazon Web Services Region. For example, if you are copying an encrypted DB cluster from the us-west-2 Amazon Web Services Region, then your ReplicationSourceIdentifier would look like Example: arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:cluster:aurora-cluster1 .

To learn how to generate a Signature Version 4 signed request, see Authenticating Requests: Using Query Parameters (Amazon Web Services Signature Version 4) and Signature Version 4 Signing Process .

Note

If you are using an Amazon Web Services SDK tool or the CLI, you can specify SourceRegion (or --source-region for the CLI) instead of specifying PreSignedUrl manually. Specifying SourceRegion autogenerates a presigned URL that is a valid request for the operation that can run in the source Amazon Web Services Region.

Valid for Cluster Type: Aurora DB clusters only

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

Specifies whether to enable mapping of Amazon Web Services Identity and Access Management (IAM) accounts to database accounts. By default, mapping isn’t enabled.

}

--network-type (string)

The network type of the DB cluster.

The network type is determined by the DBSubnetGroup specified for the DB cluster. A DBSubnetGroup can support only the IPv4 protocol or the IPv4 and the IPv6 protocols (DUAL ).

For more information, see Working with a DB instance in a VPC in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

Valid for Cluster Type: Aurora DB clusters only

Valid Values: IPV4 | DUAL

--cluster-scalability-type (string)

Specifies the scalability mode of the Aurora DB cluster. When set to limitless , the cluster operates as an Aurora Limitless Database. When set to standard (the default), the cluster uses normal DB instance creation.

Valid for: Aurora DB clusters only

Note

You can’t modify this setting after you create the DB cluster.

Possible values:

standard
limitless

--db-system-id (string)

Reserved for future use.

--manage-master-user-password | --no-manage-master-user-password (boolean)

Specifies whether to manage the master user password with Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager.

For more information, see Password management with Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager in the Amazon RDS User Guide and Password management with Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

Valid for Cluster Type: Aurora DB clusters and Multi-AZ DB clusters

Constraints:

Can’t manage the master user password with Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager if MasterUserPassword is specified.

--master-user-secret-kms-key-id (string)

The Amazon Web Services KMS key identifier to encrypt a secret that is automatically generated and managed in Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager.

This setting is valid only if the master user password is managed by RDS in Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager for the DB cluster.

If you don’t specify MasterUserSecretKmsKeyId , then the aws/secretsmanager KMS key is used to encrypt the secret. If the secret is in a different Amazon Web Services account, then you can’t use the aws/secretsmanager KMS key to encrypt the secret, and you must use a customer managed KMS key.

There is a default KMS key for your Amazon Web Services account. Your Amazon Web Services account has a different default KMS key for each Amazon Web Services Region.

Valid for Cluster Type: Aurora DB clusters and Multi-AZ DB clusters

--enable-local-write-forwarding | --no-enable-local-write-forwarding (boolean)

Specifies whether read replicas can forward write operations to the writer DB instance in the DB cluster. By default, write operations aren’t allowed on reader DB instances.

Valid for: Aurora DB clusters only

--ca-certificate-identifier (string)

The CA certificate identifier to use for the DB cluster’s server certificate.

For more information, see Using SSL/TLS to encrypt a connection to a DB instance in the Amazon RDS User Guide .

Valid for Cluster Type: Multi-AZ DB clusters

--engine-lifecycle-support (string)

The life cycle type for this DB cluster.

Note

By default, this value is set to open-source-rds-extended-support , which enrolls your DB cluster into Amazon RDS Extended Support. At the end of standard support, you can avoid charges for Extended Support by setting the value to open-source-rds-extended-support-disabled . In this case, creating the DB cluster will fail if the DB major version is past its end of standard support date.

You can use this setting to enroll your DB cluster into Amazon RDS Extended Support. With RDS Extended Support, you can run the selected major engine version on your DB cluster past the end of standard support for that engine version. For more information, see the following sections:

Amazon Aurora - Amazon RDS Extended Support with Amazon Aurora in the Amazon Aurora User Guide
Amazon RDS - Amazon RDS Extended Support with Amazon RDS in the Amazon RDS User Guide

Valid for Cluster Type: Aurora DB clusters and Multi-AZ DB clusters

Valid Values: open-source-rds-extended-support | open-source-rds-extended-support-disabled

Default: open-source-rds-extended-support

--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. 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.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table
yaml
yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

base64
raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

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 .

Example 1: To create a MySQL 5.7–compatible DB cluster

The following create-db-cluster example creates a MySQL 5.7-compatible DB cluster using the default engine version. Replace the sample password secret99 with a secure password. When you use the console to create a DB cluster, Amazon RDS automatically creates the writer DB instance for your DB cluster. However, when you use the AWS CLI to create a DB cluster, you must explicitly create the writer DB instance for your DB cluster using the create-db-instance AWS CLI command.

aws rds create-db-cluster \

CloneGroupId -> (string)

The ID of the clone group with which the DB cluster is associated. For newly created clusters, the ID is typically null.

If you clone a DB cluster when the ID is null, the operation populates the ID value for the source cluster and the clone because both clusters become part of the same clone group. Even if you delete the clone cluster, the clone group ID remains for the lifetime of the source cluster to show that it was used in a cloning operation.

For PITR, the clone group ID is inherited from the source cluster. For snapshot restore operations, the clone group ID isn’t inherited from the source cluster.

Indicates whether the DB cluster is publicly accessible.

When the DB cluster isn’t publicly accessible, it is an internal DB cluster with a DNS name that resolves to a private IP address.

For more information, see CreateDBCluster .

This setting is only for non-Aurora Multi-AZ DB clusters.

AutoMinorVersionUpgrade -> (boolean)

Indicates whether minor version patches are applied automatically.

This setting is for Aurora DB clusters and Multi-AZ DB clusters.

For more information about automatic minor version upgrades, see Automatically upgrading the minor engine version .

The ARN for the IAM role that permits RDS to send Enhanced Monitoring metrics to Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

This setting is only for Aurora DB clusters and Multi-AZ DB clusters.

DatabaseInsightsMode -> (string)

The mode of Database Insights that is enabled for the DB cluster.

PerformanceInsightsEnabled -> (boolean)

Indicates whether Performance Insights is enabled for the DB cluster.

This setting is only for Aurora DB clusters and Multi-AZ DB clusters.

PerformanceInsightsKMSKeyId -> (string)

The Amazon Web Services KMS key identifier for encryption of Performance Insights data.

The Amazon Web Services KMS key identifier is the key ARN, key ID, alias ARN, or alias name for the KMS key.

This setting is only for Aurora DB clusters and Multi-AZ DB clusters.

PerformanceInsightsRetentionPeriod -> (integer)

The number of days to retain Performance Insights data.

This setting is only for Aurora DB clusters and Multi-AZ DB clusters.

Valid Values:

7
month * 31, where month is a number of months from 1-23. Examples: 93 (3 months * 31), 341 (11 months * 31), 589 (19 months * 31)
731

Default: 7 days

ServerlessV2ScalingConfiguration -> (structure)

The scaling configuration for an Aurora Serverless v2 DB cluster.

For more information, see Using Amazon Aurora Serverless v2 in the Amazon Aurora User Guide .

MinCapacity -> (double)

MaxCapacity -> (double)

SecondsUntilAutoPause -> (integer)

The number of seconds an Aurora Serverless v2 DB instance must be idle before Aurora attempts to automatically pause it. This property is only shown when the minimum capacity for the cluster is set to 0 ACUs. Changing the minimum capacity to a nonzero value removes this property. If you later change the minimum capacity back to 0 ACUs, this property is reset to its default value unless you specify it again.

This value ranges between 300 seconds (five minutes) and 86,400 seconds (one day). The default is 300 seconds.

NetworkType -> (string)

The network type of the DB instance.

The network type is determined by the DBSubnetGroup specified for the DB cluster. A DBSubnetGroup can support only the IPv4 protocol or the IPv4 and the IPv6 protocols (DUAL ).

For more information, see Working with a DB instance in a VPC in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

This setting is only for Aurora DB clusters.

Valid Values: IPV4 | DUAL

DBSystemId -> (string)

Reserved for future use.

MasterUserSecret -> (structure)

The secret managed by RDS in Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager for the master user password.

SecretArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the secret.

SecretStatus -> (string)

The status of the secret.

The possible status values include the following:

creating - The secret is being created.
active - The secret is available for normal use and rotation.
rotating - The secret is being rotated.
impaired - The secret can be used to access database credentials, but it can’t be rotated. A secret might have this status if, for example, permissions are changed so that RDS can no longer access either the secret or the KMS key for the secret. When a secret has this status, you can correct the condition that caused the status. Alternatively, modify the DB instance to turn off automatic management of database credentials, and then modify the DB instance again to turn on automatic management of database credentials.

KmsKeyId -> (string)

The Amazon Web Services KMS key identifier that is used to encrypt the secret.

IOOptimizedNextAllowedModificationTime -> (timestamp)

The next time you can modify the DB cluster to use the aurora-iopt1 storage type.

This setting is only for Aurora DB clusters.

LocalWriteForwardingStatus -> (string)

Indicates whether an Aurora DB cluster has in-cluster write forwarding enabled, not enabled, requested, or is in the process of enabling it.

AwsBackupRecoveryPointArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the recovery point in Amazon Web Services Backup.
