Creating a DB cluster parameter group in Amazon Aurora
You can create a new DB cluster parameter group using the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or the RDS API.
After you create a DB cluster parameter group, wait at least 5 minutes
before creating a DB cluster that uses that DB cluster parameter group.
Doing this allows Amazon RDS to fully create the parameter group before it
is used by the new DB cluster. You can use the Parameter groups page
in the Amazon RDS console
The following limitations apply to the DB cluster parameter group name:
-
The name must be 1 to 255 letters, numbers, or hyphens.
Default parameter group names can include a period, such as
default.aurora-mysql5.7. However, custom parameter group names can't include a period. -
The first character must be a letter.
-
The name can't end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.
To create a DB cluster parameter group
-
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/
. -
In the navigation pane, choose Parameter groups.
-
Choose Create parameter group.
-
For Parameter group name, enter the name of the new DB cluster parameter group.
-
For Description, enter a description for the new DB cluster parameter group.
-
For Engine type, choose your database engine.
-
For Parameter group family, choose a DB parameter group family.
-
Choose Create.
To create a DB cluster parameter group, use the AWS CLI create-db-cluster-parameter-group command.
The following example creates a DB cluster parameter group named mydbclusterparametergroup for Aurora MySQL version 5.7 with a description of "My new cluster parameter group."
Include the following required parameters:
-
--db-cluster-parameter-group-name -
--db-parameter-group-family -
--description
To list all of the available parameter group families, use the following command:
aws rds describe-db-engine-versions --query "DBEngineVersions[].DBParameterGroupFamily"
Note
The output contains duplicates.
Example
For Linux, macOS, or Unix:
aws rds create-db-cluster-parameter-group \ --db-cluster-parameter-group-namemydbclusterparametergroup\ --db-parameter-group-familyaurora-mysql5.7\ --description"My new cluster parameter group"
For Windows:
aws rds create-db-cluster-parameter-group ^ --db-cluster-parameter-group-namemydbclusterparametergroup^ --db-parameter-group-familyaurora-mysql5.7^ --description"My new cluster parameter group"
This command produces output similar to the following:
{ "DBClusterParameterGroup": { "DBClusterParameterGroupName": "mydbclusterparametergroup", "DBParameterGroupFamily": "aurora-mysql5.7", "Description": "My new cluster parameter group", "DBClusterParameterGroupArn": "arn:aws:rds:us-east-1:123456789012:cluster-pg:mydbclusterparametergroup" } }
To create a DB cluster parameter group, use the RDS API CreateDBClusterParameterGroup action.
Include the following required parameters:
-
DBClusterParameterGroupName -
DBParameterGroupFamily -
