Amazon DocumentDB examples using Amazon CLI - Amazon Command Line Interface

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).

Amazon DocumentDB examples using Amazon CLI

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the Amazon Command Line Interface with Amazon DocumentDB.

Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios and cross-service examples.

Scenarios are code examples that show you how to accomplish a specific task by calling multiple functions within the same service.

Each example includes a link to GitHub, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

The following code example shows how to use add-tags-to-resource.

Amazon CLI

To add one or more tags to a specified resource

The following add-tags-to-resource example adds three tags to sample-cluster. One tag (CropB) has a key name but no value.

aws docdb add-tags-to-resource \
    --resource-name arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:cluster:sample-cluster \
    --tags Key="CropA",Value="Apple" Key="CropB" Key="CropC",Value="Corn"

This command produces no output.

For more information, see Tagging Amazon DocumentDB Resources in the Amazon DocumentDB Developer Guide.

The following code example shows how to use apply-pending-maintenance-action.

Amazon CLI

To have pending maintenance actions take place during the next maintenance window

The following apply-pending-maintenance-action example causes all system-update actions to be performed during the next scheduled maintenance window.

aws docdb apply-pending-maintenance-action \
--resource-identifier arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:cluster:sample-cluster \
--apply-action system-update \
--opt-in-type next-maintenance

This command produces no output.

For more information, see Applying Amazon DocumentDB Updates in the Amazon DocumentDB Developer Guide.

The following code example shows how to use copy-db-cluster-parameter-group.

Amazon CLI

To duplicate an existing DB cluster parameter group

The following copy-db-cluster-parameter-group example makes a copy of the parameter group custom-docdb3-6 named custom-docdb3-6-copy. When making the copy it adds tags to the new parameter group.

aws docdb copy-db-cluster-parameter-group \
    --source-db-cluster-parameter-group-identifier custom-docdb3-6 \
    --target-db-cluster-parameter-group-identifier custom-docdb3-6-copy \
    --target-db-cluster-parameter-group-description "Copy of custom-docdb3-6" \
    --tags Key="CopyNumber",Value="1" Key="Modifiable",Value="Yes"

Output:

{
    "DBClusterParameterGroup": {
        "DBParameterGroupFamily": "docdb3.6",
        "DBClusterParameterGroupArn": "arn:aws:rds:us-east-1:12345678901:cluster-pg:custom-docdb3-6-copy",
        "DBClusterParameterGroupName": "custom-docdb3-6-copy",
        "Description": "Copy of custom-docdb3-6"
    }
}

The following code example shows how to use copy-db-cluster-snapshot.

Amazon CLI

To create a copy of a snapshot

The following copy-db-cluster-snapshot example makes a copy of sample-cluster-snapshot named sample-cluster-snapshot-copy. The copy has all the tags of the original plus a new tag with the key name CopyNumber.

aws docdb copy-db-cluster-snapshot \
    --source-db-cluster-snapshot-identifier sample-cluster-snapshot \
    --target-db-cluster-snapshot-identifier sample-cluster-snapshot-copy \
    --copy-tags \
    --tags Key="CopyNumber",Value="1"

This command produces no output.

aws docdb create-db-cluster-parameter-group \
    --db-cluster-parameter-group-name sample-parameter-group \
    --db-parameter-group-family docdb3.6 \
    --description "Sample parameter group based on docdb3.6"

Output:

{
    "DBClusterParameterGroup": {
        "Description": "Sample parameter group based on docdb3.6",
        "DBParameterGroupFamily": "docdb3.6",

The following code example shows how to use restore-db-cluster-to-point-in-time.

Amazon CLI

To restore an Amazon DocumentDB cluster to a point-in-time from a manual snapshot

The following restore-db-cluster-to-point-in-time example uses the sample-cluster-snapshot to create a new Amazon DocumentDB cluster, sample-cluster-pit, using the latest restorable time.

aws docdb restore-db-cluster-to-point-in-time \
    --db-cluster-identifier sample-cluster-pit \
    --source-db-cluster-identifier arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:cluster:sample-cluster \
