create_db_cluster_parameter_group

Operation

create_db_cluster_parameter_group async

create_db_cluster_parameter_group(input: CreateDBClusterParameterGroupInput, plugins: list[Plugin] | None = None) -> CreateDBClusterParameterGroupOutput

Creates a new DB cluster parameter group.

Parameters in a DB cluster parameter group apply to all of the instances in a DB cluster.

A DB cluster parameter group is initially created with the default parameters for the database engine used by instances in the DB cluster. To provide custom values for any of the parameters, you must modify the group after creating it using ModifyDBClusterParameterGroup. Once you've created a DB cluster parameter group, you need to associate it with your DB cluster using ModifyDBCluster.

When you associate a new DB cluster parameter group with a running Aurora DB cluster, reboot the DB instances in the DB cluster without failover for the new DB cluster parameter group and associated settings to take effect.

When you associate a new DB cluster parameter group with a running Multi-AZ DB cluster, reboot the DB cluster without failover for the new DB cluster parameter group and associated settings to take effect.

Warning

After you create a DB cluster parameter group, you should wait at least 5 minutes before creating your first DB cluster that uses that DB cluster parameter group as the default parameter group. This allows Amazon RDS to fully complete the create action before the DB cluster parameter group is used as the default for a new DB cluster. This is especially important for parameters that are critical when creating the default database for a DB cluster, such as the character set for the default database defined by the character_set_database parameter. You can use the Parameter Groups option of the Amazon RDS console or the DescribeDBClusterParameters operation to verify that your DB cluster parameter group has been created or modified.

For more information on Amazon Aurora, see What is Amazon Aurora? in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

For more information on Multi-AZ DB clusters, see Multi-AZ DB cluster deployments in the Amazon RDS User Guide.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
input CreateDBClusterParameterGroupInput

An instance of CreateDBClusterParameterGroupInput.

required
plugins list[Plugin] | None

A list of callables that modify the configuration dynamically. Changes made by these plugins only apply for the duration of the operation execution and will not affect any other operation invocations.

None

Returns:

Type Description
CreateDBClusterParameterGroupOutput

An instance of CreateDBClusterParameterGroupOutput.

Input

CreateDBClusterParameterGroupInput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Attributes

db_cluster_parameter_group_name class-attribute instance-attribute
db_cluster_parameter_group_name: str | None = ...

The name of the DB cluster parameter group.

Constraints:

  • Must not match the name of an existing DB cluster parameter group.
Note

This value is stored as a lowercase string.

db_parameter_group_family class-attribute instance-attribute
db_parameter_group_family: str | None = ...

The DB cluster parameter group family name. A DB cluster parameter group can be associated with one and only one DB cluster parameter group family, and can be applied only to a DB cluster running a database engine and engine version compatible with that DB cluster parameter group family.

Aurora MySQL

Example: aurora-mysql5.7, aurora-mysql8.0

Aurora PostgreSQL

Example: aurora-postgresql14

RDS for MySQL

Example: mysql8.0

RDS for PostgreSQL

Example: postgres13

To list all of the available parameter group families for a DB engine, use the following command:

aws rds describe-db-engine-versions --query "DBEngineVersions[].DBParameterGroupFamily" --engine <engine>

For example, to list all of the available parameter group families for the Aurora PostgreSQL DB engine, use the following command:

aws rds describe-db-engine-versions --query "DBEngineVersions[].DBParameterGroupFamily" --engine aurora-postgresql

Note

The output contains duplicates.

The following are the valid DB engine values:

  • aurora-mysql

  • aurora-postgresql

  • mysql

  • postgres

description class-attribute instance-attribute
description: str | None = ...

The description for the DB cluster parameter group.

tags class-attribute instance-attribute
tags: list[Tag] | None = ...

Tags to assign to the DB cluster parameter group.

Output

CreateDBClusterParameterGroupOutput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Dataclass for CreateDBClusterParameterGroupOutput structure.

Attributes

db_cluster_parameter_group class-attribute instance-attribute
db_cluster_parameter_group: DBClusterParameterGroup | None = ...

Contains the details of an Amazon RDS DB cluster parameter group.

This data type is used as a response element in the DescribeDBClusterParameterGroups action.

response_metadata class-attribute instance-attribute
response_metadata: ResponseMetadata = ...

Metadata about the response that produced this output. Use this to recover the request identifiers a service's support team needs in order to investigate a call. Members of the metadata are individually optional.
