'RDS' object has no attribute 'stop_db_cluster'

I try to stop a MySQL Aurora cluster using Lambda. According to documentation , the function is simple like this.

def stop_aurora_cluster(cluster_identifier):
	rds = boto3.client('rds')

	response = rds.describe_db_clusters( DBClusterIdentifier=cluster_identifier )

	for instance in response['DBClusters']:
		if instance['Status'] != 'stopped' and instance['Status'] != 'stopping':
			rds.stop_db_cluster( DBClusterIdentifier=cluster_identifier )
			print('Stopping Aurora Cluster: ' + cluster_identifier)
	return

However, I get

'RDS' object has no attribute 'stop_db_cluster': AttributeError
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/task/test.py", line 81, in lambda_handler
    stop_aurora_cluster(resource_details['resource'])
  File "/var/task/test.py", line 52, in stop_aurora_cluster
    rds.stop_db_cluster( DBClusterIdentifier=cluster_identifier )
  File "/var/runtime/botocore/client.py", line 555, in __getattr__
    self.__class__.__name__, item)
AttributeError: 'RDS' object has no attribute 'stop_db_cluster'

Does it mean AWS Lambda hasn’t supported function stop_db_cluster?

You can upgrade boto to fix the error. pip install --upgrade boto3
