**Example 1: To describe a DB cluster**

The following ``describe-db-clusters`` example retrieves the details of the specified DB cluster. ::

    aws rds describe-db-clusters \
        --db-cluster-identifier mydbcluster

Output::

**Example 2: To list certain attributes of all DB clusters**

The following ``describe-db-clusters`` example retrieves only the ``DBClusterIdentifier``, ``Endpoint``, and ``ReaderEndpoint`` attributes of all your DB clusters in the current AWS Region. ::

    aws rds describe-db-clusters \
        --query 'DBClusters[].{DBClusterIdentifier:DBClusterIdentifier,Endpoint:Endpoint,ReaderEndpoint:ReaderEndpoint}'

Output::

    [
        {
            "Endpoint": "cluster-57-2020-05-01-2270.cluster-cnpexample.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com",
            "ReaderEndpoint": "cluster-57-2020-05-01-2270.cluster-ro-cnpexample.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com",
            "DBClusterIdentifier": "cluster-57-2020-05-01-2270"
        },
        {
            "Endpoint": "cluster-57-2020-05-01-4615.cluster-cnpexample.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com",

        },
        {

            "ReaderEndpoint": "pg2-cluster.cluster-ro-cnpexample.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com",
            "DBClusterIdentifier": "pg2-cluster"
        },
        ...output omitted...
        }
    ]

**Example 3: To list DB clusters with a specific attribute**

The following ``describe-db-clusters`` example retrieves only the ``DBClusterIdentifier`` and ``Engine`` attributes of your DB clusters that use the ``aurora-postgresql`` DB engine. ::

    aws rds describe-db-clusters \
        --query 'DBClusters[].{DBClusterIdentifier:DBClusterIdentifier,Engine:Engine} | [?Engine == `aurora-postgresql`]'

Output::

    [
        {
            "Engine": "aurora-postgresql",
            "DBClusterIdentifier": "pg2-cluster"
        }
    ]
