  **Request Syntax**
  ::

    response = client.describe_cluster_tracks(
        MaintenanceTrackName='string',
        MaxRecords=123,
        Marker='string'
    )
    
  :type MaintenanceTrackName: string
  :param MaintenanceTrackName: 

    The name of the maintenance track.

    

  
  :type MaxRecords: integer
  :param MaxRecords: 

    An integer value for the maximum number of maintenance tracks to return.

    

  
  :type Marker: string
  :param Marker: 

    An optional parameter that specifies the starting point to return a set of response records. When the results of a ``DescribeClusterTracks`` request exceed the value specified in ``MaxRecords``, Amazon Redshift returns a value in the ``Marker`` field of the response. You can retrieve the next set of response records by providing the returned marker value in the ``Marker`` parameter and retrying the request.

    - *(dict) --* 
      

      - **MaintenanceTracks** *(list) --* 

        A list of maintenance tracks output by the ``DescribeClusterTracks`` operation.

        
        

        - *(dict) --* 

          Defines a maintenance track that determines which Amazon Redshift version to apply during a maintenance window. If the value for ``MaintenanceTrack`` is ``current``, the cluster is updated to the most recently certified maintenance release. If the value is ``trailing``, the cluster is updated to the previously certified maintenance release.

          
          

          - **MaintenanceTrackName** *(string) --* 

            The name of the maintenance track. Possible values are ``current`` and ``trailing``.

            
          

          - **DatabaseVersion** *(string) --* 

            The version number for the cluster release.

            
          

          - **UpdateTargets** *(list) --* 

            An array of  UpdateTarget objects to update with the maintenance track.

            
            

            - *(dict) --* 

              A maintenance track that you can switch the current track to.

              
              

              - **MaintenanceTrackName** *(string) --* 

                The name of the new maintenance track.

                
              

              - **DatabaseVersion** *(string) --* 

                The cluster version for the new maintenance track.
