[ aws . appconfig ]

create-environment

Description

Creates an environment. For each application, you define one or more environments. An environment is a deployment group of AppConfig targets, such as applications in a Beta or Production environment. You can also define environments for application subcomponents such as the Web , Mobile and Back-end components for your application. You can configure Amazon CloudWatch alarms for each environment. The system monitors alarms during a configuration deployment. If an alarm is triggered, the system rolls back the configuration.

Synopsis

  create-environment
--application-id <value>
--name <value>
[--description <value>]
[--monitors <value>]
[--tags <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--application-id (string)

The application ID.

--name (string)

A name for the environment.

--description (string)

A description of the environment.

--monitors (list)

Amazon CloudWatch alarms to monitor during the deployment process.

(structure)

Amazon CloudWatch alarms to monitor during the deployment process.

AlarmArn -> (string)

Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Amazon CloudWatch alarm.

AlarmRoleArn -> (string)

ARN of an Identity and Access Management (IAM) role for AppConfig to monitor AlarmArn .

Shorthand Syntax:

AlarmArn=string,AlarmRoleArn=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "AlarmArn": "string",
    "AlarmRoleArn": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--tags (map)

Metadata to assign to the environment. Tags help organize and categorize your AppConfig resources. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To create an environment

The following create-environment example creates an AWS AppConfig environment named Example-Environment using the application you created using create-application.

aws appconfig create-environment \
    --application-id "339ohji" \
    --name "Example-Environment"

Output:

{
    "ApplicationId": "339ohji",
    "Description": null,
    "Id": "54j1r29",
    "Monitors": null,
    "Name": "Example-Environment",
    "State": "ReadyForDeployment"
}

For more information, see Step 2: Creating an environment in the AWS AppConfig User Guide.
