# aws_rds_globalcluster{% #aws_rds_globalcluster %}

## `account_id`{% #account_id %}

**Type**: `STRING`

## `database_name`{% #database_name %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `DatabaseName`**Description**: The default database name within the new global database cluster.

## `deletion_protection`{% #deletion_protection %}

**Type**: `BOOLEAN`**Provider name**: `DeletionProtection`**Description**: The deletion protection setting for the new global database cluster.

## `endpoint`{% #endpoint %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `Endpoint`**Description**: The writer endpoint for the new global database cluster. This endpoint always points to the writer DB instance in the current primary cluster.

## `engine`{% #engine %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `Engine`**Description**: The Aurora database engine used by the global database cluster.

## `engine_lifecycle_support`{% #engine_lifecycle_support %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `EngineLifecycleSupport`**Description**: The life cycle type for the global cluster. For more information, see CreateGlobalCluster.

## `engine_version`{% #engine_version %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `EngineVersion`**Description**: Indicates the database engine version.

## `failover_state`{% #failover_state %}

**Type**: `STRUCT`**Provider name**: `FailoverState`**Description**: A data object containing all properties for the current state of an in-process or pending switchover or failover process for this global cluster (Aurora global database). This object is empty unless the `SwitchoverGlobalCluster` or `FailoverGlobalCluster` operation was called on this global cluster.

- `from_db_cluster_arn`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `FromDbClusterArn`**Description**: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Aurora DB cluster that is currently being demoted, and which is associated with this state.
- `is_data_loss_allowed`**Type**: `BOOLEAN`**Provider name**: `IsDataLossAllowed`**Description**: Indicates whether the operation is a global switchover or a global failover. If data loss is allowed, then the operation is a global failover. Otherwise, it's a switchover.
- `status`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `Status`**Description**: The current status of the global cluster. Possible values are as follows:
  - pending – The service received a request to switch over or fail over the global cluster. The global cluster's primary DB cluster and the specified secondary DB cluster are being verified before the operation starts.
  - failing-over – Aurora is promoting the chosen secondary Aurora DB cluster to become the new primary DB cluster to fail over the global cluster.
  - cancelling – The request to switch over or fail over the global cluster was cancelled and the primary Aurora DB cluster and the selected secondary Aurora DB cluster are returning to their previous states.
  - switching-over – This status covers the range of Aurora internal operations that take place during the switchover process, such as demoting the primary Aurora DB cluster, promoting the secondary Aurora DB cluster, and synchronizing replicas.
- `to_db_cluster_arn`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `ToDbClusterArn`**Description**: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Aurora DB cluster that is currently being promoted, and which is associated with this state.

## `global_cluster_arn`{% #global_cluster_arn %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `GlobalClusterArn`**Description**: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the global database cluster.

## `global_cluster_identifier`{% #global_cluster_identifier %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `GlobalClusterIdentifier`**Description**: Contains a user-supplied global database cluster identifier. This identifier is the unique key that identifies a global database cluster.

## `global_cluster_members`{% #global_cluster_members %}

**Type**: `UNORDERED_LIST_STRUCT`**Provider name**: `GlobalClusterMembers`**Description**: The list of primary and secondary clusters within the global database cluster.

- `db_cluster_arn`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `DBClusterArn`**Description**: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for each Aurora DB cluster in the global cluster.
- `global_write_forwarding_status`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `GlobalWriteForwardingStatus`**Description**: The status of write forwarding for a secondary cluster in the global cluster.
- `is_writer`**Type**: `BOOLEAN`**Provider name**: `IsWriter`**Description**: Indicates whether the Aurora DB cluster is the primary cluster (that is, has read-write capability) for the global cluster with which it is associated.
- `readers`**Type**: `UNORDERED_LIST_STRING`**Provider name**: `Readers`**Description**: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for each read-only secondary cluster associated with the global cluster.
- `synchronization_status`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `SynchronizationStatus`**Description**: The status of synchronization of each Aurora DB cluster in the global cluster.

## `global_cluster_resource_id`{% #global_cluster_resource_id %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `GlobalClusterResourceId`**Description**: The Amazon Web Services Region-unique, immutable identifier for the global database cluster. This identifier is found in Amazon Web Services CloudTrail log entries whenever the Amazon Web Services KMS key for the DB cluster is accessed.

## `status`{% #status %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `Status`**Description**: Specifies the current state of this global database cluster.

## `storage_encrypted`{% #storage_encrypted %}

**Type**: `BOOLEAN`**Provider name**: `StorageEncrypted`**Description**: The storage encryption setting for the global database cluster.

## `tags`{% #tags %}

**Type**: `UNORDERED_LIST_STRING`
