Getting an existing ARN for Amazon RDS

To get an ARN from the AWS Management Console, navigate to the resource you want an ARN for, and view the details for that resource.

For example, you can get the ARN for a DB cluster from the Configuration tab of the DB cluster details.

To get an ARN from the AWS CLI for a particular RDS resource, you use the describe command for that resource. The following table shows each AWS CLI command, and the ARN property used with the command to get an ARN.

For example, the following AWS CLI command gets the ARN for a DB instance.

aws rds describe-db-instances \
--db-instance-identifier DBInstanceIdentifier \
--region us-west-2 \
--query "*[].{DBInstanceIdentifier:DBInstanceIdentifier,DBInstanceArn:DBInstanceArn}"

aws rds describe-db-instances ^
--db-instance-identifier DBInstanceIdentifier ^
--region us-west-2 ^
--query "*[].{DBInstanceIdentifier:DBInstanceIdentifier,DBInstanceArn:DBInstanceArn}"

[
    {
        "DBInstanceArn": "arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:account_id:db:instance_id", 
        "DBInstanceIdentifier": "instance_id"
    }
]

To get an ARN for a particular RDS resource, you can call the following RDS API operations and use the ARN properties shown following.
