AWS::RDS::DBClusterParameterGroup

The AWS::RDS::DBClusterParameterGroup resource creates a new Amazon RDS DB cluster parameter group.

For information about configuring parameters for Amazon Aurora DB clusters, see Working with parameter groups in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

Note

If you apply a parameter group to a DB cluster, then its DB instances might need to reboot. This can result in an outage while the DB instances are rebooting.

If you apply a change to parameter group associated with a stopped DB cluster, then the update stack waits until the DB cluster is started.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{
  "Type" : "AWS::RDS::DBClusterParameterGroup",
  "Properties" : {
      "DBClusterParameterGroupName" : String,
      "Description" : String,
      "Family" : String,
      "Parameters" : Json,
      "Tags" : [ Tag, ... ]
    }
}

YAML

Type: AWS::RDS::DBClusterParameterGroup
Properties: 
  DBClusterParameterGroupName: String
  Description: String
  Family: String
  Parameters: Json
  Tags: 
    - Tag

Properties

DBClusterParameterGroupName

The name of the DB cluster parameter group.

Constraints:

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

If you don't specify a value for DBClusterParameterGroupName property, a name is automatically created for the DB cluster parameter group.

Note

This value is stored as a lowercase string.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: Replacement

Description

A friendly description for this DB cluster parameter group.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Update requires: Replacement

Family

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 DB engine and engine version compatible with that DB cluster parameter group family.

Note

The DB cluster parameter group family can't be changed when updating a DB cluster parameter group.

To list all of the available parameter group families, use the following command:

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

The output contains duplicates.

For more information, see CreateDBClusterParameterGroup.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Update requires: Replacement

Parameters

Provides a list of parameters for the DB cluster parameter group.

Required: Yes

Type: Json

Update requires: No interruption

Tags

An optional array of key-value pairs to apply to this DB cluster parameter group.

Required: No

Type: List of Tag

Update requires: No interruption

Return values

Ref

When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic Ref function, Ref returns the name of the DB cluster parameter group.

For more information about using the Ref function, see Ref.

Examples

The following snippet creates a DB cluster parameter group for an Aurora MySQL DB cluster and sets the time_zone and character_set_database parameters:

JSON

"RDSDBClusterParameterGroup": {
        "Type": "AWS::RDS::DBClusterParameterGroup",
        "Properties": {
            "Description": "CloudFormation Sample Aurora Cluster Parameter Group",
            "Family": "aurora5.6",
            "Parameters": {
                "time_zone": "US/Eastern",
                "character_set_database": "utf32"
            }
        }
    }
