**To create an Amazon DocumentDB cluster**

The following ``create-db-cluster`` example creates an Amazon DocumentDB cluster named ``sample-cluster`` with the preferred maintenance window on Sundays between 20:30 and 11:00. ::

    aws docdb create-db-cluster \
        --db-cluster-identifier sample-cluster \
        --engine docdb \
        --master-username master-user \
        --master-user-password password \
        --preferred-maintenance-window Sun:20:30-Sun:21:00

Output::
