    [REQUIRED]

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

    Valid values: docdb

    The name of the master user for the cluster.

    Constraints:

    The tags to be assigned to the cluster.

    • (dict) –

      Metadata assigned to an Amazon DocumentDB resource consisting of a key-value pair.

      • Key (string) –

        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 contain only the set of Unicode letters, digits, white space, ‘_’, ‘.’, ‘/’, ‘=’, ‘+’, ‘-’ (Java regex: “^([\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}_.:/=+\-]*)$”).

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

  • KmsKeyId (string) –

    The KMS key identifier for an encrypted cluster.

    The KMS key identifier is the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the KMS encryption key. If you are creating a cluster using the same Amazon Web Services account that owns the KMS encryption key that is used to encrypt the new cluster, you can use the KMS key alias instead of the ARN for the KMS encryption key.

    If an encryption key is not specified in KmsKeyId:

    • If the StorageEncrypted parameter is true, Amazon DocumentDB uses your default encryption key.

    KMS creates the default encryption key for your Amazon Web Services account. Your Amazon Web Services account has a different default encryption key for each Amazon Web Services Regions.

  • PreSignedUrl (string) –

    Not currently supported.

    Please note that this parameter is automatically populated if it is not provided. Including this parameter is not required

  • EnableCloudwatchLogsExports (list) –

    • (string) –

  • DeletionProtection (boolean) – Specifies whether this cluster can be deleted. If DeletionProtection is enabled, the cluster cannot be deleted unless it is modified and DeletionProtection is disabled. DeletionProtection protects clusters from being accidentally deleted.

  • GlobalClusterIdentifier (string) – The cluster identifier of the new global cluster.

  • StorageType (string) –

    The storage type to associate with the DB cluster.

    For information on storage types for Amazon DocumentDB clusters, see Cluster storage configurations in the Amazon DocumentDB Developer Guide.

    Valid values for storage type - standard | iopt1

    Default value is standard

    Note

    When you create a DocumentDB DB cluster with the storage type set to iopt1, the storage type is returned in the response. The storage type isn’t returned when you set it to standard.

  • ManageMasterUserPassword (boolean) –

    Specifies whether to manage the master user password with Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager.

    Constraint: You can’t manage the master user password with Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager if MasterUserPassword is specified.

  • MasterUserSecretKmsKeyId (string) –

    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 Amazon DocumentDB 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.

  • SourceRegion (string) – The ID of the region that contains the source for the db cluster.

Return type:

dict

As clients request new connections to the reader endpoint, Amazon DocumentDB distributes the connection requests among the Amazon DocumentDB replicas in the cluster. This functionality can help balance your read workload across multiple Amazon DocumentDB replicas in your cluster.

        If a failover occurs, and the Amazon DocumentDB 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 Amazon DocumentDB replicas in the cluster, you can then reconnect to the reader endpoint.

            • PENDING - The IAMrole ARN is being associated with the cluster.

            • INVALID - The IAMrole ARN is associated with the cluster, but the cluster cannot assume the IAMrole to access other Amazon Web Services services on your behalf.

      • CloneGroupId (string) –

          • 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 Amazon DocumentDB 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 instance to turn off automatic management of database credentials, and then modify the instance again to turn on automatic management of database credentials.
