# GET /#Action=StopDBCluster

`GET /#Action=StopDBCluster`

Stops an Amazon Aurora DB cluster. When you stop a DB cluster, Aurora retains the DB cluster's metadata, including its endpoints and DB parameter groups. Aurora also retains the transaction logs so you can do a point-in-time restore if necessary.

For more information, see [Stopping and Starting an Aurora Cluster](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/aurora-cluster-stop-start.html) in the _Amazon Aurora User Guide_.

This action only applies to Aurora DB clusters.
