get-resource¶

Description¶

Returns information about the current state of the specified resource. For details, see Reading a resource’s current state .

You can use this action to return information about an existing resource in your account and Amazon Web Services Region, whether those resources were provisioned using Cloud Control API.

Synopsis¶

  get-resource
--type-name <value>
[--type-version-id <value>]
[--role-arn <value>]
--identifier <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--type-name (string)

The name of the resource type.

--type-version-id (string)

For private resource types, the type version to use in this resource operation. If you do not specify a resource version, CloudFormation uses the default version.

--role-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Identity and Access Management (IAM) role for Cloud Control API to use when performing this resource operation. The role specified must have the permissions required for this operation. The necessary permissions for each event handler are defined in the `` handlers `` section of the resource type definition schema .

If you do not specify a role, Cloud Control API uses a temporary session created using your Amazon Web Services user credentials.

For more information, see Specifying credentials in the Amazon Web Services Cloud Control API User Guide .

--identifier (string)

The identifier for the resource.

You can specify the primary identifier, or any secondary identifier defined for the resource type in its resource schema. You can only specify one identifier. Primary identifiers can be specified as a string or JSON; secondary identifiers must be specified as JSON.

For compound primary identifiers (that is, one that consists of multiple resource properties strung together), to specify the primary identifier as a string, list the property values in the order they are specified in the primary identifier definition, separated by | .

For more information, see Identifying resources in the Amazon Web Services Cloud Control API User Guide .

--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 get the current state of a resource

The following get-resource example returns the current state of the AWS::Kinesis::Stream resource named ResourceExample.

aws cloudcontrol get-resource \
    --type-name AWS::Kinesis::Stream \
    --identifier ResourceExample

Output:

{
    "TypeName": "AWS::Kinesis::Stream",
    "ResourceDescription": {
        "Identifier": "ResourceExample",
        "Properties": "{\"Arn\":\"arn:aws:kinesis:us-west-2:099908667365:stream/ResourceExample\",\"RetentionPeriodHours\":168,\"Name\":\"ResourceExample\",\"ShardCount\":3}"
    }
}

For more information, see Reading a resource’s current state in the Cloud Control API User Guide.
