    "DirectoryId": "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.

Examples¶

To create a WorkSpace

This example creates a WorkSpace for user jimsmith in the specified directory, from the specified bundle.

Command:

aws workspaces create-workspaces --cli-input-json file://create-workspaces.json

Input:

This is the contents of the create-workspaces.json file:

{
  "Workspaces" : [
    {
      "DirectoryId" : "d-906732325d",
      "UserName" : "jimsmith",
      "BundleId" : "wsb-b0s22j3d7"
    }
  ]
}

Output:

{
  "PendingRequests" : [
    {
      "UserName" : "jimsmith",
      "DirectoryId" : "d-906732325d",
      "State" : "PENDING",
      "WorkspaceId" : "ws-0d4y2sbl5",
      "BundleId" : "wsb-b0s22j3d7"
    }
  ],
  "FailedRequests" : []
}

(structure)

Describes a WorkSpace that cannot be created.

Information about the WorkSpace.

DirectoryId -> (string)

The identifier of the AWS Directory Service directory for the WorkSpace. You can use DescribeWorkspaceDirectories to list the available directories.

UserName -> (string)

The user name of the user for the WorkSpace. This user name must exist in the AWS Directory Service directory for the WorkSpace.

BundleId -> (string)

The identifier of the bundle for the WorkSpace. You can use DescribeWorkspaceBundles to list the available bundles.

The error code that is returned if the WorkSpace cannot be created.

ErrorMessage -> (string)

The text of the error message that is returned if the WorkSpace cannot be created.

PendingRequests -> (list)

Information about the WorkSpaces that were created.

Because this operation is asynchronous, the identifier returned is not immediately available for use with other operations. For example, if you call DescribeWorkspaces before the WorkSpace is created, the information returned can be incomplete.

(structure)

Describes a WorkSpace.

IpAddress -> (string)

The IP address of the WorkSpace.

State -> (string)

The operational state of the WorkSpace.

Note

After a WorkSpace is terminated, the TERMINATED state is returned only briefly before the WorkSpace directory metadata is cleaned up, so this state is rarely returned. To confirm that a WorkSpace is terminated, check for the WorkSpace ID by using DescribeWorkSpaces . If the WorkSpace ID isn’t returned, then the WorkSpace has been successfully terminated.

BundleId -> (string)

The identifier of the bundle used to create the WorkSpace.

Indicates whether the data stored on the user volume is encrypted.

RootVolumeEncryptionEnabled -> (boolean)

Indicates whether the data stored on the root volume is encrypted.
