## Return values
<a name="aws-resource-pcs-cluster-return-values"></a>

### Ref
<a name="aws-resource-pcs-cluster-return-values-ref"></a>

### Fn::GetAtt
<a name="aws-resource-pcs-cluster-return-values-fn--getatt"></a>

#### 
<a name="aws-resource-pcs-cluster-return-values-fn--getatt-fn--getatt"></a>

`Arn`  <a name="Arn-fn::getatt"></a>
The unique Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the cluster.

`Endpoints`  <a name="Endpoints-fn::getatt"></a>
The list of endpoints available for interaction with the scheduler.

`ErrorInfo`  <a name="ErrorInfo-fn::getatt"></a>
The list of errors that occurred during cluster provisioning.

`Id`  <a name="Id-fn::getatt"></a>
The generated unique ID of the cluster.

`Status`  <a name="Status-fn::getatt"></a>
The provisioning status of the cluster.  
The provisioning status doesn't indicate the overall health of the cluster.
The resource enters the `SUSPENDING` and `SUSPENDED` states when the scheduler is beyond end of life and we have suspended the cluster. When in these states, you can't use the cluster. The cluster controller is down and all compute instances are terminated. The resources still count toward your service quotas. You can delete a resource if its status is `SUSPENDED`.
