Constraints:
- Must contain from 1 to 63 letters, numbers, or hyphens.
- First character must be a letter.
- Can’t end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.
Example: my-cluster1-snapshot1
DBClusterIdentifier (string) –
[REQUIRED]

The identifier of the DB cluster to create a snapshot for. This parameter isn’t case-sensitive.

Constraints:
- Must match the identifier of an existing DBCluster.
Example: my-cluster1
Tags (list) –
The tags to be assigned to the DB cluster snapshot.
- (dict) –
