AWS CLI Command Reference

[ aws . docdb ]

remove-from-global-cluster

Description

Detaches an Amazon DocumentDB secondary cluster from a global cluster. The cluster becomes a standalone cluster with read-write capability instead of being read-only and receiving data from a primary in a different region.

Note

This action only applies to Amazon DocumentDB clusters.

Options

--global-cluster-identifier (string) [required]

The cluster identifier to detach from the Amazon DocumentDB global cluster.

Constraints:

  • min: 1
  • max: 255
  • pattern: [A-Za-z][0-9A-Za-z-:._]*

--db-cluster-identifier (string) [required]

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) identifying the cluster that was detached from the Amazon DocumentDB global cluster.

--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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table
  • yaml
  • yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64
  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Output

GlobalCluster -> (structure)

A data type representing an Amazon DocumentDB global cluster.

GlobalClusterIdentifier -> (string)

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

Constraints:

  • min: 1
  • max: 255
  • pattern: [A-Za-z][0-9A-Za-z-:._]*

GlobalClusterResourceId -> (string)

The Amazon Web Services RegionRegion-unique, immutable identifier for the global database cluster. This identifier is found in CloudTrail log entries whenever the KMS customer master key (CMK) for the cluster is accessed.

GlobalClusterArn -> (string)

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

Status -> (string)

Specifies the current state of this global cluster.

Engine -> (string)

The Amazon DocumentDB database engine used by the global cluster.

EngineVersion -> (string)

Indicates the database engine version.

DatabaseName -> (string)

The default database name within the new global cluster.

StorageEncrypted -> (boolean)

The storage encryption setting for the global cluster.

DeletionProtection -> (boolean)

The deletion protection setting for the new global cluster.

GlobalClusterMembers -> (list)

The list of cluster IDs for secondary clusters within the global cluster. Currently limited to one item.

(structure)

A data structure with information about any primary and secondary clusters associated with an Amazon DocumentDB global clusters.

DBClusterArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for each Amazon DocumentDB cluster.

Readers -> (list)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for each read-only secondary cluster associated with the Amazon DocumentDB global cluster.

(string)

IsWriter -> (boolean)

Specifies whether the Amazon DocumentDB cluster is the primary cluster (that is, has read-write capability) for the Amazon DocumentDB global cluster with which it is associated.

SynchronizationStatus -> (string)

The status of synchronization of each Amazon DocumentDB cluster in the global cluster.

Possible values:

  • connected
  • pending-resync

FailoverState -> (structure)

A data object containing all properties for the current state of an in-process or pending switchover or failover process for this global cluster. This object is empty unless the SwitchoverGlobalCluster or FailoverGlobalCluster operation was called on this global cluster.

Status -> (string)

The current status of the global cluster. Possible values are as follows:

  • pending – The service received a request to switch over or fail over the global cluster. The global cluster’s primary cluster and the specified secondary cluster are being verified before the operation starts.
  • failing-over – The chosen secondary cluster is being promoted to become the new primary cluster to fail over the global cluster.
  • cancelling – The request to switch over or fail over the global cluster was cancelled and the primary cluster and the selected secondary cluster are returning to their previous states.

Possible values:

  • pending
  • failing-over
  • cancelling

FromDbClusterArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Amazon DocumentDB cluster that is currently being demoted, and which is associated with this state.

ToDbClusterArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Amazon DocumentDB cluster that is currently being promoted, and which is associated with this state.

IsDataLossAllowed -> (boolean)

Indicates whether the operation is a global switchover or a global failover. If data loss is allowed, then the operation is a global failover. Otherwise, it’s a switchover.

TagList -> (list)

A list of global cluster tags.
