get-default-patch-baseline¶

Description¶

Retrieves the default patch baseline. Note that Systems Manager supports creating multiple default patch baselines. For example, you can create a default patch baseline for each operating system.

If you do not specify an operating system value, the default patch baseline for Windows is returned.

Synopsis¶

  get-default-patch-baseline
[--operating-system <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--operating-system (string)

Returns the default patch baseline for the specified operating system.

Possible values:

WINDOWS

AMAZON_LINUX

AMAZON_LINUX_2

UBUNTU

REDHAT_ENTERPRISE_LINUX

SUSE

CENTOS

ORACLE_LINUX

DEBIAN

MACOS

--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.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
