create-connection

Description

Creates a connection that can then be given to other AWS services like CodePipeline so that it can access third-party code repositories. The connection is in pending status until the third-party connection handshake is completed from the console.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  create-connection
[--provider-type <value>]
--connection-name <value>
[--tags <value>]
[--host-arn <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--provider-type (string)

The name of the external provider where your third-party code repository is configured.

Possible values:

• Bitbucket

• GitHub

• GitHubEnterpriseServer

--connection-name (string)

The name of the connection to be created. The name must be unique in the calling AWS account.

--tags (list)

The key-value pair to use when tagging the resource.

(structure)

A tag is a key-value pair that is used to manage the resource.

This tag is available for use by AWS services that support tags.

Key -> (string)

The tag’s key.

Value -> (string)

The tag’s value.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--host-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the host associated with the connection to be created.

--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 a connection

The following create-connection example shows how to create a connection to a third-party repository. This example creates a connection where the third-party provider is Bitbucket.

A connection created through the AWS CLI or AWS CloudFormation is in Pending status by default. After you create a connection with the CLI or AWS CloudFormation, use the console to edit the connection to make its status Available.

aws codestar-connections create-connection \
    --provider-type Bitbucket \
    --connection-name MyConnection

Output:

{
    "ConnectionArn": "arn:aws:codestar-connections:us-east-1:123456789012:connection/aEXAMPLE-8aad-4d5d-8878-dfcab0bc441f"
}

For more information, see Create a connection in the Developer Tools console User Guide.

Output

ConnectionArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the connection to be created. The ARN is used as the connection reference when the connection is shared between AWS services.

Note

The ARN is never reused if the connection is deleted.

Tags -> (list)

Specifies the tags applied to the resource.

(structure)

A tag is a key-value pair that is used to manage the resource.

This tag is available for use by AWS services that support tags.

Key -> (string)

The tag’s key.

Value -> (string)

The tag’s value.
