Options

--ota-update-id (string)

The ID of the OTA update to be created.

--description (string)

The description of the OTA update.

--targets (list)

The devices targeted to receive OTA updates.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--protocols (list)

The protocol used to transfer the OTA update image. Valid values are [HTTP], [MQTT], [HTTP, MQTT]. When both HTTP and MQTT are specified, the target device can choose the protocol.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

Where valid values are:
  MQTT
  HTTP

--target-selection (string)

Specifies whether the update will continue to run (CONTINUOUS), or will be complete after all the things specified as targets have completed the update (SNAPSHOT). If continuous, the update may also be run on a thing when a change is detected in a target. For example, an update will run on a thing when the thing is added to a target group, even after the update was completed by all things originally in the group. Valid values: CONTINUOUS | SNAPSHOT.

Possible values:

  • CONTINUOUS

  • SNAPSHOT

--aws-job-executions-rollout-config (structure)

Configuration for the rollout of OTA updates.

maximumPerMinute -> (integer)

The maximum number of OTA update job executions started per minute.

exponentialRate -> (structure)

The rate of increase for a job rollout. This parameter allows you to define an exponential rate increase for a job rollout.

baseRatePerMinute -> (integer)

The minimum number of things that will be notified of a pending job, per minute, at the start of the job rollout. This is the initial rate of the rollout.

incrementFactor -> (double)

The rate of increase for a job rollout. The number of things notified is multiplied by this factor.

rateIncreaseCriteria -> (structure)

The criteria to initiate the increase in rate of rollout for a job.

Amazon Web Services IoT Core supports up to one digit after the decimal (for example, 1.5, but not 1.55).

numberOfNotifiedThings -> (integer)

When this number of things have been notified, it will initiate an increase in the rollout rate.

numberOfSucceededThings -> (integer)

When this number of things have succeeded in their job execution, it will initiate an increase in the rollout rate.

Shorthand Syntax:

maximumPerMinute=integer,exponentialRate={baseRatePerMinute=integer,incrementFactor=double,rateIncreaseCriteria={numberOfNotifiedThings=integer,numberOfSucceededThings=integer}}

JSON Syntax:

{
  "maximumPerMinute": integer,
  "exponentialRate": {
    "baseRatePerMinute": integer,
    "incrementFactor": double,
    "rateIncreaseCriteria": {
      "numberOfNotifiedThings": integer,
      "numberOfSucceededThings": integer
    }
  }
}

--aws-job-presigned-url-config (structure)

Configuration information for pre-signed URLs.

expiresInSec -> (long)

How long (in seconds) pre-signed URLs are valid. Valid values are 60 - 3600, the default value is 1800 seconds. Pre-signed URLs are generated when a request for the job document is received.

Shorthand Syntax:

expiresInSec=long

JSON Syntax:

{
  "expiresInSec": long
}

--aws-job-abort-config (structure)

The criteria that determine when and how a job abort takes place.

abortCriteriaList -> (list)

The list of criteria that determine when and how to abort the job.

(structure)

The criteria that determine when and how a job abort takes place.

failureType -> (string)

The type of job execution failures that can initiate a job abort.

action -> (string)

The type of job action to take to initiate the job abort.

thresholdPercentage -> (double)

The minimum percentage of job execution failures that must occur to initiate the job abort.

Amazon Web Services IoT Core supports up to two digits after the decimal (for example, 10.9 and 10.99, but not 10.999).

minNumberOfExecutedThings -> (integer)

The minimum number of things which must receive job execution notifications before the job can be aborted.

Shorthand Syntax:

abortCriteriaList=[{failureType=string,action=string,thresholdPercentage=double,minNumberOfExecutedThings=integer},{failureType=string,action=string,thresholdPercentage=double,minNumberOfExecutedThings=integer}]

JSON Syntax:

{
  "abortCriteriaList": [
    {
      "failureType": "FAILED"|"REJECTED"|"TIMED_OUT"|"ALL",
      "action": "CANCEL",
      "thresholdPercentage": double,
      "minNumberOfExecutedThings": integer
    }
    ...
  ]
}

--aws-job-timeout-config (structure)

Specifies the amount of time each device has to finish its execution of the job. A timer is started when the job execution status is set to IN_PROGRESS . If the job execution status is not set to another terminal state before the timer expires, it will be automatically set to TIMED_OUT .

inProgressTimeoutInMinutes -> (long)

Specifies the amount of time, in minutes, this device has to finish execution of this job. The timeout interval can be anywhere between 1 minute and 7 days (1 to 10080 minutes). The in progress timer can’t be updated and will apply to all job executions for the job. Whenever a job execution remains in the IN_PROGRESS status for longer than this interval, the job execution will fail and switch to the terminal TIMED_OUT status.

Shorthand Syntax:

inProgressTimeoutInMinutes=long

JSON Syntax:

{
  "inProgressTimeoutInMinutes": long

--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.
