list-types¶

Description¶

Returns summary information about extension that have been registered with CloudFormation.

Synopsis¶

  list-types
[--visibility <value>]
[--provisioning-type <value>]
[--deprecated-status <value>]
[--type <value>]
[--filters <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--page-size <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--visibility (string)

The scope at which the extensions are visible and usable in CloudFormation operations.

Valid values include:

PRIVATE : Extensions that are visible and usable within this account and region. This includes:

Private extensions you have registered in this account and region.

Public extensions that you have activated in this account and region.

PUBLIC : Extensions that are publicly visible and available to be activated within any Amazon account. This includes extensions from Amazon, as well as third-party publishers.

The default is PRIVATE .

Possible values:

PUBLIC

PRIVATE

--provisioning-type (string)

For resource types, the provisioning behavior of the resource type. CloudFormation determines the provisioning type during registration, based on the types of handlers in the schema handler package submitted.

Valid values include:

FULLY_MUTABLE : The resource type includes an update handler to process updates to the type during stack update operations.

IMMUTABLE : The resource type does not include an update handler, so the type cannot be updated and must instead be replaced during stack update operations.

NON_PROVISIONABLE : The resource type does not include create, read, and delete handlers, and therefore cannot actually be provisioned.

The default is FULLY_MUTABLE .

Possible values:

NON_PROVISIONABLE

IMMUTABLE

FULLY_MUTABLE

--deprecated-status (string)

The deprecation status of the extension that you want to get summary information about.

Valid values include:

LIVE : The extension is registered for use in CloudFormation operations.

DEPRECATED : The extension has been deregistered and can no longer be used in CloudFormation operations.

Possible values:

LIVE

DEPRECATED

--type (string)

The type of extension.

Possible values:

RESOURCE

MODULE

--filters (structure)

Filter criteria to use in determining which extensions to return.

If you specify a filter, CloudFormation ignores any specified Visibility value when returning the list of types.

Category -> (string)

The category of extensions to return.

REGISTERED : Private extensions that have been registered for this account and region.

ACTIVATED : Public extensions that have been activated for this account and region.

THIRD-PARTY : Extensions available for use from publishers other than Amazon. This includes:

Private extensions registered in the account.

Public extensions from publishers other than Amazon, whether activated or not.

AWS-TYPES : Extensions available for use from Amazon.

PublisherId -> (string)

The id of the publisher of the extension.

Extensions published by Amazon are not assigned a publisher ID. Use the AWS-TYPES category to specify a list of types published by Amazon.

TypeNamePrefix -> (string)

A prefix to use as a filter for results.

Shorthand Syntax:

Category=string,PublisherId=string,TypeNamePrefix=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Category": "REGISTERED"|"ACTIVATED"|"THIRD_PARTY"|"AWS_TYPES",
  "PublisherId": "string",
  "TypeNamePrefix": "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.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command’s output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command’s output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command’s output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--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 list the private resource types in an account

The following list-types example displays a list of the private resource types currently registered in the current AWS account.

aws cloudformation list-types

Output:

{
    "TypeSummaries": [
        {
            "Description": "WordPress blog resource for internal use",

Output¶

TypeSummaries -> (list)

A list of TypeSummary structures that contain information about the specified extensions.

(structure)

Contains summary information about the specified CloudFormation extension.

Type -> (string)

The kind of extension.

TypeName -> (string)

The name of the extension.

If you specified a TypeNameAlias when you activate this extension in your account and region, CloudFormation considers that alias as the type name.

DefaultVersionId -> (string)

The ID of the default version of the extension. The default version is used when the extension version is not specified.

This applies only to private extensions you have registered in your account. For public extensions, both those provided by Amazon and published by third parties, CloudFormation returns null . For more information, see RegisterType .

To set the default version of an extension, use `` SetTypeDefaultVersion `` .

TypeArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the extension.

LastUpdated -> (timestamp)

When the specified extension version was registered. This applies only to:

Private extensions you have registered in your account. For more information, see RegisterType .

Public extensions you have activated in your account with auto-update specified. For more information, see ActivateType .

For all other extension types, CloudFormation returns null .

Description -> (string)

The description of the extension.

PublisherId -> (string)

The ID of the extension publisher, if the extension is published by a third party. Extensions published by Amazon do not return a publisher ID.

OriginalTypeName -> (string)

For public extensions that have been activated for this account and region, the type name of the public extension.

If you specified a TypeNameAlias when enabling the extension in this account and region, CloudFormation treats that alias as the extension’s type name within the account and region, not the type name of the public extension. For more information, see Specifying aliases to refer to extensions in the CloudFormation User Guide .

PublicVersionNumber -> (string)

For public extensions that have been activated for this account and region, the version of the public extension to be used for CloudFormation operations in this account and region.

How you specified AutoUpdate when enabling the extension affects whether CloudFormation automatically updates the extention in this account and region when a new version is released. For more information, see Setting CloudFormation to automatically use new versions of extensions in the CloudFormation User Guide .

LatestPublicVersion -> (string)

For public extensions that have been activated for this account and region, the latest version of the public extension that is available . For any extensions other than activated third-arty extensions, CloudFormation returns null .

How you specified AutoUpdate when enabling the extension affects whether CloudFormation automatically updates the extention in this account and region when a new version is released. For more information, see Setting CloudFormation to automatically use new versions of extensions in the CloudFormation User Guide .

PublisherIdentity -> (string)

The service used to verify the publisher identity.

For more information, see Registering your account to publish CloudFormation extensions in the CFN-CLI User Guide for Extension Development .

PublisherName -> (string)

The publisher name, as defined in the public profile for that publisher in the service used to verify the publisher identity.

IsActivated -> (boolean)

Whether or not the extension is activated for this account and region.

This applies only to third-party public extensions. Extensions published by Amazon are activated by default.

NextToken -> (string)

If the request doesn’t return all of the remaining results, NextToken is set to a token. To retrieve the next set of results, call this action again and assign that token to the request object’s NextToken parameter. If the request returns all results, NextToken is set to null .
