create-experiment-template¶
Description¶
Creates an experiment template.
An experiment template includes the following components:
Targets : A target can be a specific resource in your Amazon Web Services environment, or one or more resources that match criteria that you specify, for example, resources that have specific tags.
Actions : The actions to carry out on the target. You can specify multiple actions, the duration of each action, and when to start each action during an experiment.
Stop conditions : If a stop condition is triggered while an experiment is running, the experiment is automatically stopped. You can define a stop condition as a CloudWatch alarm.
For more information, see Experiment templates in the Fault Injection Simulator User Guide .

--description (string)
A description for the experiment template.
--stop-conditions (list)
The stop conditions.
(structure)
Specifies a stop condition for an experiment template.
source -> (string)
The source for the stop condition. Specify
aws:cloudwatch:alarmif the stop condition is defined by a CloudWatch alarm. Specifynoneif there is no stop condition.value -> (string)

key -> (string)
value -> (structure)
Specifies a target for an experiment. You must specify at least one Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or at least one resource tag. You cannot specify both ARNs and tags.
For more information, see Targets in the Fault Injection Simulator User Guide .

ALL - Run the action on all identified targets. This is the default.
COUNT(n) - Run the action on the specified number of targets, chosen from the identified targets at random. For example, COUNT(1) selects one of the targets.
PERCENT(n) - Run the action on the specified percentage of targets, chosen from the identified targets at random. For example, PERCENT(25) selects 25% of the targets.

--role-arn (string)
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an IAM role that grants the FIS service permission to perform service actions on your behalf.
--tags (map)
The tags to apply to the experiment template.

--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 an experiment template
The following create-experiment-template example creates an experiment template in your AWS FIS account.
