# Use `DescribeCluster` with an AWS SDK or CLI
<a name="emr_example_emr_DescribeCluster_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `DescribeCluster`.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example:
