failover_db_cluster#

DocDB.Client.failover_db_cluster(**kwargs)#

Forces a failover for a cluster.

A failover for a cluster promotes one of the Amazon DocumentDB replicas (read-only instances) in the cluster to be the primary instance (the cluster writer).

If the primary instance fails, Amazon DocumentDB automatically fails over to an Amazon DocumentDB replica, if one exists. You can force a failover when you want to simulate a failure of a primary instance for testing.

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

      • DBClusterParameterGroup (string) –

        Specifies the name of the cluster parameter group for the cluster.

      • DBSubnetGroup (string) –

        Specifies information on the subnet group that is associated with the cluster, including the name, description, and subnets in the subnet group.

      • Status (string) –

        Specifies the current state of this cluster.

      • ReaderEndpoint (string) –

        The reader endpoint for the cluster. The reader endpoint for a cluster load balances connections across the Amazon DocumentDB replicas that are available in a cluster. As clients request new connections to the reader endpoint, Amazon DocumentDB distributes the connection requests among the Amazon DocumentDB replicas in the cluster. This functionality can help balance your read workload across multiple Amazon DocumentDB replicas in your cluster.

        If a failover occurs, and the Amazon DocumentDB replica that you are connected to is promoted to be the primary instance, your connection is dropped. To continue sending your read workload to other Amazon DocumentDB replicas in the cluster, you can then reconnect to the reader endpoint.

            • PENDING - The IAMrole ARN is being associated with the cluster.

            • INVALID - The IAMrole ARN is associated with the cluster, but the cluster cannot assume the IAMrole to access other Amazon Web Services services on your behalf.

      • CloneGroupId (string) –

        Default value is standard

      • MasterUserSecret (dict) –

        The secret managed by Amazon DocumentDB in Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager for the master user password.

        • SecretArn (string) –

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the secret.

        • SecretStatus (string) –

          The status of the secret.

          The possible status values include the following:

          • creating - The secret is being created.

          • active - The secret is available for normal use and rotation.

          • rotating - The secret is being rotated.

          • impaired - The secret can be used to access database credentials, but it can’t be rotated. A secret might have this status if, for example, permissions are changed so that Amazon DocumentDB can no longer access either the secret or the KMS key for the secret. When a secret has this status, you can correct the condition that caused the status. Alternatively, modify the instance to turn off automatic management of database credentials, and then modify the instance again to turn on automatic management of database credentials.

        • KmsKeyId (string) –

          The Amazon Web Services KMS key identifier that is used to encrypt the secret.
