ReplicationSourceIdentifier

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the source DB instance or DB cluster if this DB cluster is created as a read replica.

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

Tags

Tags to assign to the DB cluster.

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

StorageEncrypted

Specifies whether the DB cluster is encrypted.

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

KmsKeyId

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

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 create_db_cluster 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 create_db_cluster 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 create_db_cluster 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.

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

If you supply a value for this operation's SourceRegion parameter, a pre-signed URL will be calculated on your behalf.

EnableIAMDatabaseAuthentication

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

For more information, see IAM Database Authentication in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

Valid for Cluster Type: Aurora DB clusters only

BacktrackWindow

The target backtrack window, in seconds. To disable backtracking, set this value to 0.

Valid for Cluster Type: Aurora MySQL DB clusters only

Default: 0

Constraints:

  • If specified, this value must be set to a number from 0 to 259,200 (72 hours).

EnableCloudwatchLogsExports

The list of log types that need to be enabled for exporting to CloudWatch Logs.

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

The following values are valid for each DB engine:

  • Aurora MySQL - audit | error | general | slowquery

  • Aurora PostgreSQL - postgresql

  • RDS for MySQL - error | general | slowquery

  • RDS for PostgreSQL - postgresql | upgrade

For more information about exporting CloudWatch Logs for Amazon RDS, see Publishing Database Logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

For more information about exporting CloudWatch Logs for Amazon Aurora, see Publishing Database Logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

EngineMode

The DB engine mode of the DB cluster, either provisioned or serverless.

The serverless engine mode only applies for Aurora Serverless v1 DB clusters. Aurora Serverless v2 DB clusters use the provisioned engine mode.

GlobalClusterIdentifier

The global cluster ID of an Aurora cluster that becomes the primary cluster in the new global database cluster.

Valid for Cluster Type: Aurora DB clusters only

EnableHttpEndpoint

Specifies whether to enable the HTTP endpoint for the DB cluster. By default, the HTTP endpoint isn't enabled.

When enabled, the HTTP endpoint provides a connectionless web service API (RDS Data API) for running SQL queries on the DB cluster. You can also query your database from inside the RDS console with the RDS query editor.

RDS Data API is supported with the following DB clusters:

  • Aurora PostgreSQL Serverless v2 and provisioned

  • Aurora PostgreSQL and Aurora MySQL Serverless v1

For more information, see Using RDS Data API in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

Valid for Cluster Type: Aurora DB clusters only

CopyTagsToSnapshot

Specifies whether to copy all tags from the DB cluster to snapshots of the DB cluster. The default is not to copy them.

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

DomainIAMRoleName

The name of the IAM role to use when making API calls to the Directory Service.

Valid for Cluster Type: Aurora DB clusters only

EnableGlobalWriteForwarding

Specifies whether to enable this DB cluster to forward write operations to the primary cluster of a global cluster (Aurora global database). By default, write operations are not allowed on Aurora DB clusters that are secondary clusters in an Aurora global database.

You can set this value only on Aurora DB clusters that are members of an Aurora global database. With this parameter enabled, a secondary cluster can forward writes to the current primary cluster, and the resulting changes are replicated back to this cluster. For the primary DB cluster of an Aurora global database, this value is used immediately if the primary is demoted by a global cluster API operation, but it does nothing until then.

Valid for Cluster Type: Aurora DB clusters only

DBClusterInstanceClass

The compute and memory capacity of each DB instance in the Multi-AZ DB cluster, for example db.m6gd.xlarge. Not all DB instance classes are available in all Amazon Web Services Regions, or for all database engines.

This setting is required to create a Multi-AZ DB cluster.

Valid for Cluster Type: Multi-AZ DB clusters only

AllocatedStorage

The amount of storage in gibibytes (GiB) to allocate to each DB instance in the Multi-AZ DB cluster.

Valid for Cluster Type: Multi-AZ DB clusters only

This setting is required to create a Multi-AZ DB cluster.

StorageType

The storage type to associate with the DB cluster.

For information on storage types for Aurora DB clusters, see Storage configurations for Amazon Aurora DB clusters. For information on storage types for Multi-AZ DB clusters, see Settings for creating Multi-AZ DB clusters.

This setting is required to create a Multi-AZ DB cluster.

When specified for a Multi-AZ DB cluster, a value for the Iops parameter is required.

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

Valid Values:

  • Aurora DB clusters - aurora | aurora-iopt1

  • Multi-AZ DB clusters - io1 | io2 | gp3

Default:

  • Aurora DB clusters - aurora

  • Multi-AZ DB clusters - io1

When you create an Aurora DB cluster with the storage type set to aurora-iopt1, the storage type is returned in the response. The storage type isn't returned when you set it to aurora.

Iops

The amount of Provisioned IOPS (input/output operations per second) to be initially allocated for each DB instance in the Multi-AZ DB cluster.

For information about valid IOPS values, see Provisioned IOPS storage in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

This setting is required to create a Multi-AZ DB cluster.

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

Specifies whether the DB cluster is publicly accessible.

When the DB cluster is publicly accessible and you connect from outside of the DB cluster's virtual private cloud (VPC), its Domain Name System (DNS) endpoint resolves to the public IP address. When you connect from within the same VPC as the DB cluster, the endpoint resolves to the private IP address. 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.

Valid for Cluster Type: Multi-AZ DB clusters only

Default: The default behavior varies depending on whether DBSubnetGroupName is specified.

If DBSubnetGroupName isn't specified, and PubliclyAccessible isn't specified, the following applies:

  • If the default VPC in the target Region doesn’t have an internet gateway attached to it, the DB cluster is private.

  • If the default VPC in the target Region has an internet gateway attached to it, the DB cluster is public.

If DBSubnetGroupName is specified, and PubliclyAccessible isn't specified, the following applies:

  • If the subnets are part of a VPC that doesn’t have an internet gateway attached to it, the DB cluster is private.

  • If the subnets are part of a VPC that has an internet gateway attached to it, the DB cluster is public.

AutoMinorVersionUpgrade

Specifies whether minor engine upgrades are applied automatically to the DB cluster during the maintenance window. By default, minor engine upgrades are applied automatically.

Valid for Cluster Type: Multi-AZ DB clusters only

MonitoringInterval

The interval, in seconds, between points when Enhanced Monitoring metrics are collected for the DB cluster. To turn off collecting Enhanced Monitoring metrics, specify 0.

If MonitoringRoleArn is specified, also set MonitoringInterval to a value other than 0.

Valid for Cluster Type: Multi-AZ DB clusters only

Valid Values: 0 | 1 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 30 | 60

Default: 0

MonitoringRoleArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the IAM role that permits RDS to send Enhanced Monitoring metrics to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. An example is arn:aws:iam:123456789012:role/emaccess. For information on creating a monitoring role, see Setting up and enabling Enhanced Monitoring in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

If MonitoringInterval is set to a value other than 0, supply a MonitoringRoleArn value.

EnablePerformanceInsights

Specifies whether to turn on Performance Insights for the DB cluster.

For more information, see Using Amazon Performance Insights in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

Valid for Cluster Type: Multi-AZ DB clusters only

PerformanceInsightsKMSKeyId

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.

If you don't specify a value for PerformanceInsightsKMSKeyId, 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.

Valid for Cluster Type: Multi-AZ DB clusters only

PerformanceInsightsRetentionPeriod

The number of days to retain Performance Insights data.

Valid for Cluster Type: Multi-AZ DB clusters only

Valid Values:

  • 731

Default: 7 days

If you specify a retention period that isn't valid, such as 94, Amazon RDS issues an error.

EnableLimitlessDatabase

Specifies whether to enable Aurora Limitless Database. You must enable Aurora Limitless Database to create a DB shard group.

Valid for: Aurora DB clusters only

ServerlessV2ScalingConfiguration

NetworkType

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

DBSystemId

Reserved for future use.

ManageMasterUserPassword

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.

MasterUserSecretKmsKeyId

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.

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.

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

EnableLocalWriteForwarding

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

CACertificateIdentifier

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

EngineLifecycleSupport

The life cycle type for this DB cluster.

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:

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

SourceRegion
