Request Syntax

response = client.create_db_cluster_snapshot(
    DBClusterSnapshotIdentifier='string',
    DBClusterIdentifier='string',
    Tags=[

            'Value': 'string'
        },
    ]
)
Parameters:
  • DBClusterSnapshotIdentifier (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The identifier of the DB cluster snapshot. This parameter is stored as a lowercase string.

    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) –
