# Constructing an ARN for Amazon RDS
<a name="USER_Tagging.ARN.Constructing"></a>

Resources created in Amazon Web Services are each uniquely identified with an Amazon Resource Name (ARN). You can construct an ARN for an Amazon RDS resource using the following syntax. 

 `arn:aws-cn:rds:{{<region>}}:{{<account number>}}:{{<resourcetype>}}:{{<name>}}` 

For global cluster resources, the ARN doesn't include an Amazon Web Services Region: `arn:aws:rds::{{<account number>}}:global-cluster:{{<name>}}`. ARNs for global clusters don't appear in the Amazon Web Services Management Console.


| Region Name | Region | Endpoint | Protocol | 
| --- | --- | --- | --- | 
| China (Beijing) | cn-north-1 |  rds.cn-north-1.amazonaws.com.cn <br /> rds.cn-north-1.api.amazonwebservices.com.cn  | HTTPS<br />HTTPS | 
| China (Ningxia) | cn-northwest-1 |  rds.cn-northwest-1.amazonaws.com.cn <br /> rds.cn-northwest-1.api.amazonwebservices.com.cn  | HTTPS<br />HTTPS | 

The following table shows the format that you should use when constructing an ARN for a particular Amazon RDS resource type.
