**To detach an Aurora secondary cluster from an Aurora global database cluster**
The following ``remove-from-global-cluster`` example detaches an Aurora secondary cluster from an Aurora global database cluster. The cluster changes from being read-only to a standalone cluster with read-write capability. ::
aws rds remove-from-global-cluster \
--region us-west-2 \
--global-cluster-identifier myglobalcluster \
--db-cluster-identifier arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:cluster:DB-1
Output::
{
"GlobalCluster": {
"GlobalClusterIdentifier": "myglobalcluster",
"GlobalClusterResourceId": "cluster-abc123def456gh",
"GlobalClusterArn": "arn:aws:rds::123456789012:global-cluster:myglobalcluster",
"Status": "available",
"Engine": "aurora-postgresql",
"EngineVersion": "10.11",
"StorageEncrypted": true,
"DeletionProtection": false,
"GlobalClusterMembers": [
{
"DBClusterArn": "arn:aws:rds:us-east-1:123456789012:cluster:js-global-cluster",
"Readers": [
"arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:cluster:DB-1"
],
"IsWriter": true
},
{
"DBClusterArn": "arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:cluster:DB-1",
"Readers": [],
"IsWriter": false,
"GlobalWriteForwardingStatus": "disabled"
}
]
}
}
