Creating a custom endpoint - Amazon Aurora

Creating a custom endpoint

Create a custom endpoint using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or the Amazon RDS API.

To create a custom endpoint with the AWS Management Console, go to the cluster detail page and choose the Create custom endpoint action in the Endpoints section. Choose a name for the custom endpoint, unique for your user ID and region. To choose a list of DB instances that remains the same even as the cluster expands, keep the check box Attach future instances added to this cluster clear. When you choose that check box, the custom endpoint dynamically adds any new instances as you add them to the cluster.

Create custom endpoint page.

You can't select the custom endpoint type in the AWS Management Console. All custom endpoints you create through the AWS Management Console have a type of ANY.

To create a custom endpoint with the AWS CLI, run the create-db-cluster-endpoint command.

The following command creates a custom endpoint attached to a specific cluster. Initially, the endpoint is associated with all the Aurora Replica instances in the cluster. A subsequent command associates it with a specific set of DB instances in the cluster.

For Linux, macOS, or Unix:

aws rds create-db-cluster-endpoint --db-cluster-endpoint-identifier custom-endpoint-doc-sample \
  --endpoint-type reader \
  --db-cluster-identifier cluster_id

aws rds modify-db-cluster-endpoint --db-cluster-endpoint-identifier custom-endpoint-doc-sample \
  --static-members instance_name_1 instance_name_2

For Windows:

aws rds create-db-cluster-endpoint --db-cluster-endpoint-identifier custom-endpoint-doc-sample ^
  --endpoint-type reader ^
  --db-cluster-identifier cluster_id

aws rds modify-db-cluster-endpoint --db-cluster-endpoint-identifier custom-endpoint-doc-sample ^
  --static-members instance_name_1 instance_name_2

To create a custom endpoint with the RDS API, run the CreateDBClusterEndpoint operation.
