# Gather cluster details In this section we will gather and note down the Cluster endpoint and the writer instance name. We will use this information in the next section of the lab. This lab requires the following prerequisites: * [Get Started](/prereqs/environment/) * [Connect to the Cloud9 Desktop](/prereqs/connect/) * [Create a new Aurora Serverless v2 DB Cluster](/serverlessv2/create/) (optional, only if you plan to create a cluster manually) ## 1. Locate the Aurora Cluster Endpoint Open the Amazon RDS service console, if you don't already have it open. Click on **DB Instances** ![Cluster](1rdsconsole.png?raw=true) Click on the Aurora Serverless V2 Cluster Name. ![Cluster](2cluclick.png?raw=true) On the **Connectivity and Security** tab locate the **Endpoints** section and note down the endpoint that has Type **Writer instance**. This is your **cluster endpoint**, which you will need in the next section of the lab. ![Cluster](3clustername.png?raw=true) ## 2. Locate the writer instance Next, note down the instance name under the **DB identifier** column, that has the Role value as **Writer instance**. This is your **writer instance**, which you will need in the next section of the lab. ![Writer](4writerinstance.png?raw=true)
