Synopsis

  update-document
--content <value>
[--attachments <value>]
--name <value>
[--version-name <value>]
[--document-version <value>]
[--document-format <value>]
[--target-type <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--cli-auto-prompt <value>]

Options

--content (string)

A valid JSON or YAML string.

--attachments (list)

A list of key and value pairs that describe attachments to a version of a document.

(structure)

Identifying information about a document attachment, including the file name and a key-value pair that identifies the location of an attachment to a document.

Key -> (string)

The key of a key-value pair that identifies the location of an attachment to a document.

Values -> (list)

The value of a key-value pair that identifies the location of an attachment to a document. The format for Value depends on the type of key you specify.

• For the key SourceUrl , the value is an S3 bucket location. For example: "Values": [ "s3://my-bucket/my-folder" ]

• For the key S3FileUrl , the value is a file in an S3 bucket. For example: "Values": [ "s3://my-bucket/my-folder/my-file.py" ]

• For the key AttachmentReference , the value is constructed from the name of another SSM document in your account, a version number of that document, and a file attached to that document version that you want to reuse. For example: "Values": [ "MyOtherDocument/3/my-other-file.py" ] However, if the SSM document is shared with you from another account, the full SSM document ARN must be specified instead of the document name only. For example: "Values": [ "arn:aws:ssm:us-east-2:111122223333:document/OtherAccountDocument/3/their-file.py" ]

(string)

Name -> (string)

The name of the document attachment file.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Values=string,string,Name=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "SourceUrl"|"S3FileUrl"|"AttachmentReference",
    "Values": ["string", ...],
    "Name": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--name (string)

The name of the document that you want to update.

--version-name (string)

An optional field specifying the version of the artifact you are updating with the document. For example, “Release 12, Update 6”. This value is unique across all versions of a document, and cannot be changed.

--document-version (string)

(Required) The latest version of the document that you want to update. The latest document version can be specified using the $LATEST variable or by the version number. Updating a previous version of a document is not supported.

--document-format (string)

Specify the document format for the new document version. Systems Manager supports JSON and YAML documents. JSON is the default format.

Possible values:

• YAML

• JSON

• TEXT

--target-type (string)

Specify a new target type for the document.

--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 a new version of a document

The following update-document example creates a new version of a document when run on a Windows computer. The document specified by --document must be in JSON format. Note that file:// must be referenced followed by the path of the content file. Because of the $ at the beginning of the --document-version parameter, On Windows you must surround the value with double quotes. On Linux, MacOS, or at a PowerShell prompt, you must surround the value with single quotes.

Windows version:

aws ssm update-document \
    --name "RunShellScript" \
    --content "file://RunShellScript.json" \
    --document-version "$LATEST"

Linux/Mac version:

aws ssm update-document \
    --name "RunShellScript" \
    --content "file://RunShellScript.json" \
    --document-version '$LATEST'

Output:
