**Example 1: To create a MySQL 5.7--compatible DB cluster**

The following ``create-db-cluster`` example creates a MySQL 5.7-compatible DB cluster using the default engine version. Replace the sample password ``secret99`` with a secure password. When you use the console to create a DB cluster, Amazon RDS automatically creates the writer DB instance for your DB cluster. However, when you use the AWS CLI to create a DB cluster, you must explicitly create the writer DB instance for your DB cluster using the ``create-db-instance`` AWS CLI command. ::

    aws rds create-db-cluster \
        --db-cluster-identifier sample-cluster \
        --engine aurora-mysql \
        --engine-version 5.7 \
        --master-username admin \
        --master-user-password secret99 \
        --db-subnet-group-name default \
        --vpc-security-group-ids sg-0b9130572daf3dc16

Output::

**Example 2: To create a PostgreSQL--compatible DB cluster**

The following ``create-db-cluster`` example creates a PostgreSQL-compatible DB cluster using the default engine version. Replace the example password ``secret99`` with a secure password.

However, when you use the AWS CLI to create a DB cluster, you must explicitly create the writer DB instance for your DB cluster using the ``create-db-instance`` AWS CLI command. ::
