publish-type¶

Description¶

Publishes the specified extension to the CloudFormation registry as a public extension in this region. Public extensions are available for use by all CloudFormation users. For more information about publishing extensions, see Publishing extensions to make them available for public use in the CloudFormation CLI User Guide .

To publish an extension, you must be registered as a publisher with CloudFormation. For more information, see RegisterPublisher .

Synopsis¶

  publish-type
[--type <value>]
[--arn <value>]
[--type-name <value>]
[--public-version-number <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--type (string)

The type of the extension.

Conditional: You must specify Arn , or TypeName and Type .

Possible values:

RESOURCE

MODULE

HOOK

--arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the extension.

Conditional: You must specify Arn , or TypeName and Type .

--type-name (string)

The name of the extension.

Conditional: You must specify Arn , or TypeName and Type .

--public-version-number (string)

The version number to assign to this version of the extension.

Use the following format, and adhere to semantic versioning when assigning a version number to your extension:

MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

For more information, see Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 .

If you don’t specify a version number, CloudFormation increments the version number by one minor version release.

You cannot specify a version number the first time you publish a type. CloudFormation automatically sets the first version number to be 1.0.0 .

--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.
