DatabaseClusterFromSnapshot

A database cluster restored from a snapshot.

Import

import { DatabaseClusterFromSnapshot } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-rds';

Or use the module namespace:

import * as rds from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-rds';
// rds.DatabaseClusterFromSnapshot

Properties

Configuration passed to the constructor as DatabaseClusterFromSnapshotProps.

engineRequired
IClusterEngine

What kind of database to start.

snapshotIdentifierRequired
string

The identifier for the DB instance snapshot or DB cluster snapshot to restore from. You can use either the name or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) to specify a DB cluster snapshot. However, you can use only the ARN to specify a DB instance snapshot.

autoMinorVersionUpgradeOptional
boolean

Specifies whether minor engine upgrades are applied automatically to the DB cluster during the maintenance window.

Default: true

backtrackWindowOptional
Duration

The number of seconds to set a cluster's target backtrack window to. This feature is only supported by the Aurora MySQL database engine and cannot be enabled on existing clusters.

Default: 0 seconds (no backtrack)

backupOptional
BackupProps

Backup settings.

Default: - Backup retention period for automated backups is 1 day. Backup preferred window is set to a 30-minute window selected at random from an 8-hour block of time for each AWS Region, occurring on a random day of the week.

cloudwatchLogsExportsOptional
string[]

The list of log types that need to be enabled for exporting to CloudWatch Logs.

Default: - no log exports

cloudwatchLogsRetentionOptional
RetentionDays

The number of days log events are kept in CloudWatch Logs. When updating this property, unsetting it doesn't remove the log retention policy. To remove the retention policy, set the value to `Infinity`.

Default: - logs never expire

cloudwatchLogsRetentionRoleOptional
IRole

The IAM role for the Lambda function associated with the custom resource that sets the retention policy.

Default: - a new role is created.

clusterIdentifierOptional
string

An optional identifier for the cluster.

Default: - A name is automatically generated.

clusterScailabilityTypeOptionalDeprecated
ClusterScailabilityType

[Misspelled] Specifies the scalability mode of the Aurora DB cluster. Set LIMITLESS if you want to use a limitless database; otherwise, set it to STANDARD.

Default: ClusterScailabilityType.STANDARD

Deprecated: Use clusterScalabilityType instead. This will be removed in the next major version.

clusterScalabilityTypeOptional
ClusterScalabilityType

Specifies the scalability mode of the Aurora DB cluster. Set LIMITLESS if you want to use a limitless database; otherwise, set it to STANDARD.

Default: ClusterScalabilityType.STANDARD

copyTagsToSnapshotOptional
boolean

Whether to copy tags to the snapshot when a snapshot is created.

Default: - true

credentialsOptionalDeprecated
Credentials

Credentials for the administrative user. Note - using this prop only works with `Credentials.fromPassword()` with the username of the snapshot, `Credentials.fromUsername()` with the username and password of the snapshot or `Credentials.fromSecret()` with a secret containing the username and password of the snapshot.

Default: - A username of 'admin' (or 'postgres' for PostgreSQL) and SecretsManager-generated password that **will not be applied** to the cluster, use `snapshotCredentials` for the correct behavior.

Deprecated: use `snapshotCredentials` which allows to generate a new password

databaseInsightsModeOptional
DatabaseInsightsMode

The database insights mode.

Default: - DatabaseInsightsMode.STANDARD when performance insights are enabled and Amazon Aurora engine is used, otherwise not set.

defaultDatabaseNameOptional
string

Name of a database which is automatically created inside the cluster.

Default: - Database is not created in cluster.

deleteAutomatedBackupsOptional
boolean

Specifies whether to remove automated backups immediately after the DB cluster is deleted.

Default: undefined - AWS RDS default is to remove automated backups immediately after the DB cluster is deleted, unless the AWS Backup policy specifies a point-in-time restore rule.

deletionProtectionOptional
boolean

Indicates whether the DB cluster should have deletion protection enabled.

Default: - true if `removalPolicy` is RETAIN, `undefined` otherwise, which will not enable deletion protection. To disable deletion protection after it has been enabled, you must explicitly set this value to `false`.

domainOptional
string

Directory ID for associating the DB cluster with a specific Active Directory. Necessary for enabling Kerberos authentication. If specified, the DB cluster joins the given Active Directory, enabling Kerberos authentication. If not specified, the DB cluster will not be associated with any Active Directory, and Kerberos authentication will not be enabled.

Default: - DB cluster is not associated with an Active Directory; Kerberos authentication is not enabled.

Default: - If `DatabaseClusterBaseProps.domain` is specified, a role with the `AmazonRDSDirectoryServiceAccess` policy is automatically created.

enableClusterLevelEnhancedMonitoringOptional
boolean

Whether to enable enhanced monitoring at the cluster level. If set to true, `monitoringInterval` and `monitoringRole` are applied to not the instances, but the cluster. `monitoringInterval` is required to be set if `enableClusterLevelEnhancedMonitoring` is set to true.

Default: - When the `monitoringInterval` is set, enhanced monitoring is enabled for each instance.

enableDataApiOptional
boolean

Whether to enable the Data API for the cluster.

Default: - false

enableLocalWriteForwardingOptional
