get-blueprints¶

Description¶

Returns the list of available instance images, or blueprints . You can use a blueprint to create a new instance already running a specific operating system, as well as a preinstalled app or development stack. The software each instance is running depends on the blueprint image you choose.

Note

Use active blueprints when creating new instances. Inactive blueprints are listed to support customers with existing instances and are not necessarily available to create new instances. Blueprints are marked inactive when they become outdated due to operating system updates or new application releases.

Synopsis¶

  get-blueprints
[--include-inactive | --no-include-inactive]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--include-inactive | --no-include-inactive (boolean)

A Boolean value that indicates whether to include inactive (unavailable) blueprints in the response of your request.

--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 .

--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.

Blueprints are marked inactive when they become outdated due to operating system updates or new application releases.

minPower -> (integer)

The minimum bundle power required to run this blueprint. For example, you need a bundle with a power value of 500 or more to create an instance that uses a blueprint with a minimum power value of 500. 0 indicates that the blueprint runs on all instance sizes.

The version number of the operating system, application, or stack (e.g., 2016.03.0 ).

versionCode -> (string)

The version code.

productUrl -> (string)

The product URL to learn more about the image or blueprint.

licenseUrl -> (string)

The end-user license agreement URL for the image or blueprint.

platform -> (string)

The operating system platform (either Linux/Unix-based or Windows Server-based) of the blueprint.

nextPageToken -> (string)

The token to advance to the next page of results from your request.

A next page token is not returned if there are no more results to display.
