describe-accelerator¶

Description¶

Describe an accelerator.

Synopsis¶

  describe-accelerator
--accelerator-arn <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--accelerator-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the accelerator to describe.

--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 describe an accelerator

The following describe-accelerator example retrieves the details about the specified accelerator.

aws globalaccelerator describe-accelerator \
    --accelerator-arn arn:aws:globalaccelerator::123456789012:accelerator/1234abcd-abcd-1234-abcd-1234abcdefgh

Output:

{
    "Accelerator": {
        "AcceleratorArn": "arn:aws:globalaccelerator::123456789012:accelerator/1234abcd-abcd-1234-abcd-1234abcdefgh",
        "IpAddressType": "IPV4",
        "Name": "ExampleAccelerator",
        "Enabled": true,
        "Status": "IN_PROGRESS",
        "IpSets": [
            {
                "IpAddresses": [
                    "192.0.2.250",
                    "198.51.100.52"
                ],
                "IpFamily": "IPv4"
            }
        ],
        "DnsName":"a1234567890abcdef.awsglobalaccelerator.com",
        "CreatedTime": 1542394847,
        "LastModifiedTime": 1542395013
    }
}

Output¶

Accelerator -> (structure)

The description of the accelerator.

AcceleratorArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the accelerator.

Name -> (string)

The name of the accelerator. The name must contain only alphanumeric characters or hyphens (-), and must not begin or end with a hyphen.

IpAddressType -> (string)

The value for the address type must be IPv4.

Enabled -> (boolean)

Indicates whether the accelerator is enabled. The value is true or false. The default value is true.

If the value is set to true, the accelerator cannot be deleted. If set to false, accelerator can be deleted.

IpSets -> (list)

The static IP addresses that Global Accelerator associates with the accelerator.

(structure)

A complex type for the set of IP addresses for an accelerator.

IpFamily -> (string)

The types of IP addresses included in this IP set.

IpAddresses -> (list)

The array of IP addresses in the IP address set. An IP address set can have a maximum of two IP addresses.

(string)

DnsName -> (string)

The Domain Name System (DNS) name that Global Accelerator creates that points to your accelerator’s static IP addresses.

The naming convention for the DNS name is the following: A lowercase letter a, followed by a 16-bit random hex string, followed by .awsglobalaccelerator.com. For example: a1234567890abcdef.awsglobalaccelerator.com.

For more information about the default DNS name, see Support for DNS Addressing in Global Accelerator in the AWS Global Accelerator Developer Guide .

Status -> (string)

Describes the deployment status of the accelerator.

CreatedTime -> (timestamp)

The date and time that the accelerator was created.

LastModifiedTime -> (timestamp)

The date and time that the accelerator was last modified.
