Synopsis

  create-resource-group
--resource-group-tags <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--cli-auto-prompt <value>]

Options

--resource-group-tags (list)

A collection of keys and an array of possible values, ‘[{“key”:”key1”,”values”:[“Value1”,”Value2”]},{“key”:”Key2”,”values”:[“Value3”]}]’.

For example,’[{“key”:”Name”,”values”:[“TestEC2Instance”]}]’.

(structure)

This data type is used as one of the elements of the ResourceGroup data type.

key -> (string)

A tag key.

value -> (string)

The value assigned to a tag key.

Shorthand Syntax:

key=string,value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "key": "string",
    "value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean) Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
