create-license-configuration

Description

Creates a license configuration.

A license configuration is an abstraction of a customer license agreement that can be consumed and enforced by License Manager. Components include specifications for the license type (licensing by instance, socket, CPU, or vCPU), allowed tenancy (shared tenancy, Dedicated Instance, Dedicated Host, or all of these), host affinity (how long a VM must be associated with a host), and the number of licenses purchased and used.

Options

--name (string)

Name of the license configuration.

--description (string)

Description of the license configuration.

--license-counting-type (string)

Dimension used to track the license inventory.

Possible values:

• vCPU

• Instance

• Core

• Socket

--license-count (long)

Number of licenses managed by the license configuration.

--license-count-hard-limit | --no-license-count-hard-limit (boolean)

Indicates whether hard or soft license enforcement is used. Exceeding a hard limit blocks the launch of new instances.

--license-rules (list)

License rules. The syntax is #name=value (for example, #allowedTenancy=EC2-DedicatedHost). Available rules vary by dimension.

• Cores dimension: allowedTenancy | maximumCores | minimumCores

• Instances dimension: allowedTenancy | maximumCores | minimumCores | maximumSockets | minimumSockets | maximumVcpus | minimumVcpus

• Sockets dimension: allowedTenancy | maximumSockets | minimumSockets

• vCPUs dimension: allowedTenancy | honorVcpuOptimization | maximumVcpus | minimumVcpus

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--tags (list)

Tags to add to the license configuration.

(structure)

Details about a tag for a license configuration.

Key -> (string)

Tag key.

Value -> (string)

  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--product-information-list (list)

Product information.

(structure)

Describes product information for a license configuration.

ResourceType -> (string)

Resource type. The value is SSM_MANAGED .

ProductInformationFilterList -> (list)

Product information filters. The following filters and logical operators are supported:

• Application Name - The name of the application. Logical operator is EQUALS .

• Application Publisher - The publisher of the application. Logical operator is EQUALS .

• Application Version - The version of the application. Logical operator is EQUALS .

• Platform Name - The name of the platform. Logical operator is EQUALS .

• Platform Type - The platform type. Logical operator is EQUALS .

• License Included - The type of license included. Logical operators are EQUALS and NOT_EQUALS . Possible values are sql-server-enterprise | sql-server-standard | sql-server-web | windows-server-datacenter .

(structure)

Describes product information filters.

ProductInformationFilterName -> (string)

Filter name.

ProductInformationFilterValue -> (list)

Filter value.

(string)

ProductInformationFilterComparator -> (string)

Logical operator.

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "ResourceType": "string",
    "ProductInformationFilterList": [
      {
        "ProductInformationFilterName": "string",
        "ProductInformationFilterValue": ["string", ...],
        "ProductInformationFilterComparator": "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

Example 1: To create a license configuration

The following create-license-configuration example creates a license configuration with a hard limit of 10 cores.

aws license-manager create-license-configuration --name my-license-configuration \
    --license-counting-type Core \
    --license-count 10 \
    --license-count-hard-limit

Output:

{
  "LicenseConfigurationArn": "arn:aws:license-manager:us-west-2:123456789012:license-configuration:lic-6eb6586f508a786a2ba41EXAMPLE1111"
}

Example 2: To create a license configuration

The following create-license-configuration example creates a license configuration with a soft limit of 100 vCPUs. It uses a rule to enable vCPU optimization.

aws license-manager create-license-configuration --name my-license-configuration
    --license-counting-type vCPU \
    --license-count 100 \
    --license-rules "#honorVcpuOptimization=true"

Output:

{
  "LicenseConfigurationArn": "arn:aws:license-manager:us-west-2:123456789012:license-configuration:lic-6eb6586f508a786a2ba41EXAMPLE2222"
}

Output

LicenseConfigurationArn -> (string)

Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the license configuration.
