RDS / Client / create_db_cluster

create_db_cluster#

RDS.Client.create_db_cluster(**kwargs)#

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.

StorageEncrypted (boolean) –
Specifies whether the DB cluster is encrypted.

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

Please note that this parameter is automatically populated if it is not provided. Including this parameter is not required
EnableIAMDatabaseAuthentication (boolean) –

Valid for Cluster Type: Multi-AZ DB clusters only

Constraints:
- Must be a multiple between .5 and 50 of the storage amount for the DB cluster.
PubliclyAccessible (boolean) –
Specifies whether the DB cluster is publicly accessible.

When the DB cluster is publicly accessible, its Domain Name System (DNS) endpoint resolves to the private IP address from within the DB cluster’s virtual private cloud (VPC). It resolves to the public IP address from outside of the DB cluster’s VPC. Access to the DB cluster is ultimately controlled by the security group it uses. That public access isn’t permitted if the security group assigned to the DB cluster doesn’t permit it.

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.

  Contains the details of an Amazon Aurora DB cluster or Multi-AZ DB cluster.
  
  For an Amazon Aurora DB cluster, this data type is used as a response element in the operations CreateDBCluster, DeleteDBCluster, DescribeDBClusters, FailoverDBCluster, ModifyDBCluster, PromoteReadReplicaDBCluster, RestoreDBClusterFromS3, RestoreDBClusterFromSnapshot, RestoreDBClusterToPointInTime, StartDBCluster, and StopDBCluster.
  
  For a Multi-AZ DB cluster, this data type is used as a response element in the operations CreateDBCluster, DeleteDBCluster, DescribeDBClusters, FailoverDBCluster, ModifyDBCluster, RebootDBCluster, RestoreDBClusterFromSnapshot, and RestoreDBClusterToPointInTime.
  
  For more information on Amazon Aurora DB clusters, see What is Amazon Aurora? in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.
  
  For more information on Multi-AZ DB clusters, see Multi-AZ deployments with two readable standby DB instances in the Amazon RDS User Guide.
  - AllocatedStorage (integer) –
    
    For all database engines except Amazon Aurora, AllocatedStorage specifies the allocated storage size in gibibytes (GiB). For Aurora, AllocatedStorage always returns 1, because Aurora DB cluster storage size isn’t fixed, but instead automatically adjusts as needed.

        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}_.:/=+\-@]*)$”).

    The status of write forwarding for a secondary cluster in an Aurora global database.
  - GlobalWriteForwardingRequested (boolean) –
    
    Indicates whether write forwarding is enabled for a secondary cluster in an Aurora global database. Because write forwarding takes time to enable, check the value of GlobalWriteForwardingStatus to confirm that the request has completed before using the write forwarding feature for this cluster.
  - PendingModifiedValues (dict) –
    
    Information about pending changes to the DB cluster. This information is returned only when there are pending changes. Specific changes are identified by subelements.
    - PendingCloudwatchLogsExports (dict) –
      
      A list of the log types whose configuration is still pending. In other words, these log types are in the process of being activated or deactivated.
      - LogTypesToEnable (list) –
        
        Log types that are in the process of being deactivated. After they are deactivated, these log types aren’t exported to CloudWatch Logs.
        
        (string) –
      - LogTypesToDisable (list) –
        
        Log types that are in the process of being enabled. After they are enabled, these log types are exported to CloudWatch Logs.
        
        (string) –
    - DBClusterIdentifier (string) –
      
      The DBClusterIdentifier value for the DB cluster.
    - MasterUserPassword (string) –
      
      The master credentials for the DB cluster.

    - AllocatedStorage (integer) –
      
      The allocated storage size in gibibytes (GiB) for all database engines except Amazon Aurora. For Aurora, AllocatedStorage always returns 1, because Aurora DB cluster storage size isn’t fixed, but instead automatically adjusts as needed.
    - RdsCustomClusterConfiguration (dict) –
      
      Reserved for future use.
      - InterconnectSubnetId (string) –
        
        Reserved for future use.

        Reserved for future use.
    - Iops (integer) –
      
      The Provisioned IOPS (I/O operations per second) value. This setting is only for non-Aurora Multi-AZ DB clusters.
    - StorageType (string) –
      
      The storage type for the DB cluster.
  - DBClusterInstanceClass (string) –
    
    The name of the compute and memory capacity class of the DB instance.
    
    This setting is only for non-Aurora Multi-AZ DB clusters.
  - StorageType (string) –
    
    The storage type associated with the DB cluster.
  - Iops (integer) –
    
    The Provisioned IOPS (I/O operations per second) value.
    
    This setting is only for non-Aurora Multi-AZ DB clusters.
  - PubliclyAccessible (boolean) –
    
    Indicates whether the DB cluster is publicly accessible.
    
    When the DB cluster is publicly accessible, its Domain Name System (DNS) endpoint resolves to the private IP address from within the DB cluster’s virtual private cloud (VPC). It resolves to the public IP address from outside of the DB cluster’s VPC. Access to the DB cluster is ultimately controlled by the security group it uses. That public access isn’t permitted if the security group assigned to the DB cluster doesn’t permit it.
    
    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) –

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