Description
### Name of the resource
AWS::RDS::DBCluster
### Resource name
DBCluster
### Description
Request for an enhancement to the AWS::RDS::DBCluster resource to expose the MasterUsername. This information is already accessible through RDS APIs. Would allow for this type of metadata to be natively exposed within a CFT instead of requiring Customers to write a dedicated CustomResource to expose.
## Scope of Request
New option for an existing attribute is desired that is accessible via AWS RDS APIs. Allows Customers to easily derive the Master Username on a provisioned RDS DB Cluster via CloudFormation.
## Expected Behavior
Fn::GetAtt on a AWS::RDS::DBCluster resource returns the MasterUsername for the resource
### Resources

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the AWS::RDS::DBCluster resource behavior and the linked DescribeDBClusters and DBCluster API documentation. Confirm how MasterUsername is exposed by the RDS API and define the Fn::GetAtt result; done means the resource returns that value without requiring a custom resource.
