See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  create-channel
[--name <value>]
[--latency-mode <value>]
[--type <value>]
[--tags <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--cli-auto-prompt <value>]

Options

--name (string)

Channel name.

--latency-mode (string)

Channel latency mode. Default: LOW .

Possible values:

• NORMAL

• LOW

--type (string)

Channel type, which determines the allowable resolution and bitrate. STANDARD : The stream is transcoded; resolution (width, in landscape orientation) can be up to 1080p or the input source resolution, whichever is lower; and bitrate can be up to 8.5 Mbps. BASIC : The stream is transfixed; resolution can be up to 480p; and bitrate can be up to 1.5 Mbps. Default: STANDARD .

Possible values:

• BASIC

• STANDARD

--tags (map)

See Channel$tags .

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "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.

Examples

To create channels

The following create-channel example creates a new channel and an associated stream key to start streaming.

aws ivs create-channel

Output:

{
