Describe Aurora DB clusters using an Amazon SDK - Amazon Aurora
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Describe Aurora DB clusters using an Amazon SDK

The following code examples show how to describe Aurora DB clusters.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example:
