AWS CLI Command Reference

[ aws . rds ]

stop-db-cluster

Description

Stops an Amazon Aurora DB cluster. When you stop a DB cluster, Aurora retains the DB cluster’s metadata, including its endpoints and DB parameter groups. Aurora also retains the transaction logs so you can do a point-in-time restore if necessary.

For more information, see Stopping and Starting an Aurora Cluster in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

Note

This action only applies to Aurora DB clusters.

See also: AWS API Documentation

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  stop-db-cluster
--db-cluster-identifier <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--cli-auto-prompt <value>]

Options

--db-cluster-identifier (string)

The DB cluster identifier of the Amazon Aurora DB cluster to be stopped. This parameter is stored as a lowercase string.

--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.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean) Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Output

DBCluster -> (structure)

Contains the details of an Amazon Aurora DB cluster.

This data type is used as a response element in the DescribeDBClusters , StopDBCluster , and StartDBCluster actions.

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.

AvailabilityZones -> (list)

Provides the list of Availability Zones (AZs) where instances in the DB cluster can be created.

(string)

BackupRetentionPeriod -> (integer)

Specifies the number of days for which automatic DB snapshots are retained.

CharacterSetName -> (string)

If present, specifies the name of the character set that this cluster is associated with.

DatabaseName -> (string)

Contains the name of the initial database of this DB cluster that was provided at create time, if one was specified when the DB cluster was created. This same name is returned for the life of the DB cluster.

DBClusterIdentifier -> (string)

Contains a user-supplied DB cluster identifier. This identifier is the unique key that identifies a DB cluster.

DBClusterParameterGroup -> (string)

Specifies the name of the DB cluster parameter group for the DB cluster.

DBSubnetGroup -> (string)

Specifies information on the subnet group associated with the DB cluster, including the name, description, and subnets in the subnet group.

Status -> (string)

Specifies the current state of this DB cluster.

PercentProgress -> (string)

Specifies the progress of the operation as a percentage.

EarliestRestorableTime -> (timestamp)

The earliest time to which a database can be restored with point-in-time restore.

Endpoint -> (string)

Specifies the connection endpoint for the primary instance of the DB cluster.

ReaderEndpoint -> (string)

The reader endpoint for the DB cluster. The reader endpoint for a DB cluster load-balances connections across the Aurora Replicas that are available in a DB cluster. As clients request new connections to the reader endpoint, Aurora distributes the connection requests among the Aurora Replicas in the DB cluster. This functionality can help balance your read workload across multiple Aurora Replicas in your DB cluster.

If a failover occurs, and the Aurora Replica that you are connected to is promoted to be the primary instance, your connection is dropped. To continue sending your read workload to other Aurora Replicas in the cluster, you can then reconnect to the reader endpoint.

CustomEndpoints -> (list)

Identifies all custom endpoints associated with the cluster.

(string)

MultiAZ -> (boolean)

Specifies whether the DB cluster has instances in multiple Availability Zones.

Engine -> (string)

Provides the name of the database engine to be used for this DB cluster.

DBClusterArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the DB cluster.

AssociatedRoles -> (list)

Provides a list of the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles that are associated with the DB cluster. IAM roles that are associated with a DB cluster grant permission for the DB cluster to access other AWS services on your behalf.

(structure)

Describes an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that is associated with a DB cluster.

RoleArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role that is associated with the DB cluster.

Describes the state of association between the IAM role and the DB cluster. The Status property returns one of the following values:

  • ACTIVE - the IAM role ARN is associated with the DB cluster and can be used to access other AWS services on your behalf.

  • PENDING - the IAM role ARN is being associated with the DB cluster.

  • INVALID - the IAM role ARN is associated with the DB cluster, but the DB cluster is unable to assume the IAM role in order to access other AWS services on your behalf.

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

Note

global engine mode only applies for global database clusters created with Aurora MySQL version 5.6.10a. For higher Aurora MySQL versions, the clusters in a global database use provisioned engine mode. To check if a DB cluster is part of a global database, use DescribeGlobalClusters instead of checking the EngineMode return value from DescribeDBClusters .

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

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

ActivityStreamMode -> (string)

The mode of the database activity stream. Database events such as a change or access generate an activity stream event. The database session can handle these events either synchronously or asynchronously.

ActivityStreamStatus -> (string)

The status of the database activity stream.

ActivityStreamKmsKeyId -> (string)

The AWS KMS key identifier used for encrypting messages in the database activity stream.

Specifies whether a secondary cluster in an Aurora global database has write forwarding enabled, not enabled, or is in the process of enabling it.

GlobalWriteForwardingRequested -> (boolean)

Specifies whether you have requested to enable write forwarding 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.
