describe-endpoint-types

Description

Returns information about the type of endpoints available.

See also: AWS API Documentation

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

describe-endpoint-types is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate argument. When using --output text and the --query argument on a paginated response, the --query argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: SupportedEndpointTypes

Synopsis

  describe-endpoint-types
[--filters <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--page-size <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--filters (list)

Filters applied to the endpoint types.

Valid filter names: engine-name | endpoint-type

(structure)

Identifies the name and value of a filter object. This filter is used to limit the number and type of DMS objects that are returned for a particular Describe* call or similar operation. Filters are used as an optional parameter for certain API operations.

Name -> (string)

The name of the filter as specified for a Describe* or similar operation.

Values -> (list)

The filter value, which can specify one or more values used to narrow the returned results.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

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

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Name": "string",
    "Values": ["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 available endpoint types

The following describe-endpoint-types example lists the MySQL endpoint types that are available.

aws dms describe-endpoint-types \
    --filters "Name=engine-name,Values=mysql"

Output:

{
    "SupportedEndpointTypes": [
        {
            "EngineName": "mysql",
            "SupportsCDC": true,
            "EndpointType": "source",
            "EngineDisplayName": "MySQL"
        },
        {
            "EngineName": "mysql",
            "SupportsCDC": true,
            "EndpointType": "target",
            "EngineDisplayName": "MySQL"
        }
    ]
}

Output

Marker -> (string)

An optional pagination token provided by a previous request. If this parameter is specified, the response includes only records beyond the marker, up to the value specified by MaxRecords .

SupportedEndpointTypes -> (list)

The types of endpoints that are supported.

(structure)

Provides information about types of supported endpoints in response to a request by the DescribeEndpointTypes operation. This information includes the type of endpoint, the database engine name, and whether change data capture (CDC) is supported.

EngineName -> (string)

The database engine name. Valid values, depending on the EndpointType, include "mysql" , "oracle" , "postgres" , "mariadb" , "aurora" , "aurora-postgresql" , "redshift" , "s3" , "db2" , "azuredb" , "sybase" , "dynamodb" , "mongodb" , "kinesis" , "kafka" , "elasticsearch" , "documentdb" , "sqlserver" , and "neptune" .

SupportsCDC -> (boolean)

Indicates if change data capture (CDC) is supported.

EndpointType -> (string)

The type of endpoint. Valid values are source and target .

ReplicationInstanceEngineMinimumVersion -> (string)

The earliest DMS engine version that supports this endpoint engine. Note that endpoint engines released with DMS versions earlier than 3.1.1 do not return a value for this parameter.

EngineDisplayName -> (string)

The expanded name for the engine name. For example, if the EngineName parameter is “aurora,” this value would be “Amazon Aurora MySQL.”
