--client-token (string)

The user-provided idempotency token. The token must be unique, is case insensitive, enforces the UUID format, and can’t be reused.

(structure)

Note

The Automation runbooks specified for the runbook workflow can’t run until all required approvals for the change request have been received.

DocumentName -> (string)

The name of the Automation runbook (Automation document) used in a runbook workflow.

DocumentVersion -> (string)

The version of the Automation runbook (Automation document) used in a runbook workflow.

Parameters -> (map)

The key-value map of execution parameters, which were supplied when calling StartChangeRequestExecution .

key -> (string)

value -> (list)

(string)

TargetParameterName -> (string)

The name of the parameter used as the target resource for the rate-controlled runbook workflow. Required if you specify Targets .

Targets -> (list)

A key-value mapping to target resources that the Runbook operation performs tasks on. Required if you specify TargetParameterName .

(structure)

An array of search criteria that targets instances using a Key,Value combination that you specify.

Note

One or more targets must be specified for maintenance window Run Command-type tasks. Depending on the task, targets are optional for other maintenance window task types (Automation, AWS Lambda, and AWS Step Functions). For more information about running tasks that do not specify targets, see Registering maintenance window tasks without targets in the AWS Systems Manager User Guide .

Supported formats include the following.

``Key=InstanceIds,Values=*instance-id-1* ,*instance-id-2* ,*instance-id-3* ``

``Key=tag:my-tag-key ,Values=*my-tag-value-1* ,*my-tag-value-2* ``

``Key=tag-key,Values=*my-tag-key-1* ,*my-tag-key-2* ``

Run Command and Maintenance window targets only : ``Key=resource-groups:Name,Values=*resource-group-name* ``

Maintenance window targets only : ``Key=resource-groups:ResourceTypeFilters,Values=*resource-type-1* ,*resource-type-2* ``

Automation targets only : ``Key=ResourceGroup;Values=*resource-group-name* ``

For example:

Key=InstanceIds,Values=i-02573cafcfEXAMPLE,i-0471e04240EXAMPLE,i-07782c72faEXAMPLE

Key=tag:CostCenter,Values=CostCenter1,CostCenter2,CostCenter3

Key=tag-key,Values=Name,Instance-Type,CostCenter

Run Command and Maintenance window targets only : Key=resource-groups:Name,Values=ProductionResourceGroup This example demonstrates how to target all resources in the resource group ProductionResourceGroup in your maintenance window.

Maintenance window targets only : ``Key=resource-groups:ResourceTypeFilters,Values=*AWS::EC2::INSTANCE* ,*AWS::EC2::VPC* `` This example demonstrates how to target only EC2 instances and VPCs in your maintenance window.

Automation targets only : Key=ResourceGroup,Values=MyResourceGroup

State Manager association targets only : Key=InstanceIds,Values=* This example demonstrates how to target all managed instances in the AWS Region where the association was created.

For more information about how to send commands that target instances using Key,Value parameters, see Targeting multiple instances in the AWS Systems Manager User Guide .

Key -> (string)

User-defined criteria for sending commands that target instances that meet the criteria.

Values -> (list)

User-defined criteria that maps to Key . For example, if you specified tag:ServerRole , you could specify value:WebServer to run a command on instances that include EC2 tags of ServerRole,WebServer .

(string)

MaxConcurrency -> (string)

The MaxConcurrency value specified by the user when the operation started, indicating the maximum number of resources that the runbook operation can run on at the same time.

MaxErrors -> (string)

The MaxErrors value specified by the user when the execution started, indicating the maximum number of errors that can occur during the operation before the updates are stopped or rolled back.

TargetLocations -> (list)

Information about the AWS Regions and accounts targeted by the current Runbook operation.

(structure)

The combination of AWS Regions and accounts targeted by the current Automation execution.

Accounts -> (list)

The AWS accounts targeted by the current Automation execution.

(string)

Regions -> (list)

The AWS Regions targeted by the current Automation execution.

(string)

TargetLocationMaxConcurrency -> (string)

The maximum number of AWS accounts and AWS regions allowed to run the Automation concurrently.

TargetLocationMaxErrors -> (string)

The maximum number of errors allowed before the system stops queueing additional Automation executions for the currently running Automation.

ExecutionRoleName -> (string)

The Automation execution role used by the currently running Automation. If not specified, the default value is AWS-SystemsManager-AutomationExecutionRole .

--tags (list)

Optional metadata that you assign to a resource. You can specify a maximum of five tags for a change request. Tags enable you to categorize a resource in different ways, such as by purpose, owner, or environment. For example, you might want to tag a change request to identify an environment or target AWS Region. In this case, you could specify the following key-value pairs:

Key=Environment,Value=Production

Key=Region,Value=us-east-2

(structure)

Metadata that you assign to your AWS resources. Tags enable you to categorize your resources in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. In Systems Manager, you can apply tags to documents, managed instances, maintenance windows, Parameter Store parameters, and patch baselines.

Key -> (string)

The name of the tag.

Value -> (string)

The value of the tag.

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.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Output¶

AutomationExecutionId -> (string)

The unique ID of a runbook workflow operation. (A runbook workflow is a type of Automation operation.)
