create-application-version¶

Description¶

Creates an application version for the specified application. You can create an application version from a source bundle in Amazon S3, a commit in AWS CodeCommit, or the output of an AWS CodeBuild build as follows:

Specify a commit in an AWS CodeCommit repository with SourceBuildInformation .

Specify a build in an AWS CodeBuild with SourceBuildInformation and BuildConfiguration .

Specify a source bundle in S3 with SourceBundle

Omit both SourceBuildInformation and SourceBundle to use the default sample application.

Note

After you create an application version with a specified Amazon S3 bucket and key location, you can’t change that Amazon S3 location. If you change the Amazon S3 location, you receive an exception when you attempt to launch an environment from the application version.

Options¶

--application-name (string)

The name of the application. If no application is found with this name, and AutoCreateApplication is false , returns an InvalidParameterValue error.

--version-label (string)

A label identifying this version.

Constraint: Must be unique per application. If an application version already exists with this label for the specified application, AWS Elastic Beanstalk returns an InvalidParameterValue error.

--description (string)

A description of this application version.

--source-build-information (structure)

Specify a commit in an AWS CodeCommit Git repository to use as the source code for the application version.

SourceType -> (string)

The type of repository.

Git

Zip

SourceRepository -> (string)

Location where the repository is stored.

CodeCommit

S3

SourceLocation -> (string)

The location of the source code, as a formatted string, depending on the value of SourceRepository

For CodeCommit , the format is the repository name and commit ID, separated by a forward slash. For example, my-git-repo/265cfa0cf6af46153527f55d6503ec030551f57a .

For S3 , the format is the S3 bucket name and object key, separated by a forward slash. For example, my-s3-bucket/Folders/my-source-file .

Shorthand Syntax:

SourceType=string,SourceRepository=string,SourceLocation=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "SourceType": "Git"|"Zip",
  "SourceRepository": "CodeCommit"|"S3",
  "SourceLocation": "string"
}

--source-bundle (structure)

The Amazon S3 bucket and key that identify the location of the source bundle for this version.

Note

The Amazon S3 bucket must be in the same region as the environment.

Specify a source bundle in S3 or a commit in an AWS CodeCommit repository (with SourceBuildInformation ), but not both. If neither SourceBundle nor SourceBuildInformation are provided, Elastic Beanstalk uses a sample application.

S3Bucket -> (string)

The Amazon S3 bucket where the data is located.

S3Key -> (string)

The Amazon S3 key where the data is located.

Shorthand Syntax:

S3Bucket=string,S3Key=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "S3Bucket": "string",
  "S3Key": "string"
}

--build-configuration (structure)

Settings for an AWS CodeBuild build.

ArtifactName -> (string)

The name of the artifact of the CodeBuild build. If provided, Elastic Beanstalk stores the build artifact in the S3 location S3-bucket /resources/application-name /codebuild/codebuild-version-label -artifact-name .zip. If not provided, Elastic Beanstalk stores the build artifact in the S3 location S3-bucket /resources/application-name /codebuild/codebuild-version-label .zip.

CodeBuildServiceRole -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that enables AWS CodeBuild to interact with dependent AWS services on behalf of the AWS account.

ComputeType -> (string)

Information about the compute resources the build project will use.

BUILD_GENERAL1_SMALL: Use up to 3 GB memory and 2 vCPUs for builds

BUILD_GENERAL1_MEDIUM: Use up to 7 GB memory and 4 vCPUs for builds

BUILD_GENERAL1_LARGE: Use up to 15 GB memory and 8 vCPUs for builds

Image -> (string)

The ID of the Docker image to use for this build project.

TimeoutInMinutes -> (integer)

How long in minutes, from 5 to 480 (8 hours), for AWS CodeBuild to wait until timing out any related build that does not get marked as completed. The default is 60 minutes.

Shorthand Syntax:

ArtifactName=string,CodeBuildServiceRole=string,ComputeType=string,Image=string,TimeoutInMinutes=integer

JSON Syntax:

{
  "ArtifactName": "string",
  "CodeBuildServiceRole": "string",
  "ComputeType": "BUILD_GENERAL1_SMALL"|"BUILD_GENERAL1_MEDIUM"|"BUILD_GENERAL1_LARGE",
  "Image": "string",
  "TimeoutInMinutes": integer
}

--auto-create-application | --no-auto-create-application (boolean)

Set to true to create an application with the specified name if it doesn’t already exist.

--process | --no-process (boolean)

Pre-processes and validates the environment manifest (env.yaml ) and configuration files (*.config files in the .ebextensions folder) in the source bundle. Validating configuration files can identify issues prior to deploying the application version to an environment.

You must turn processing on for application versions that you create using AWS CodeBuild or AWS CodeCommit. For application versions built from a source bundle in Amazon S3, processing is optional.

Note

The Process option validates Elastic Beanstalk configuration files. It doesn’t validate your application’s configuration files, like proxy server or Docker configuration.

--tags (list)

Specifies the tags applied to the application version.

Elastic Beanstalk applies these tags only to the application version. Environments that use the application version don’t inherit the tags.

(structure)

Describes a tag applied to a resource in an environment.

Key -> (string)

The key of the tag.

Value -> (string)

The value of the tag.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "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 a new application version

The following command creates a new version, “v1” of an application named “MyApp”:

aws elasticbeanstalk create-application-version --application-name MyApp --version-label v1 --description MyAppv1 --source-bundle S3Bucket="my-bucket",S3Key="sample.war" --auto-create-application

The application will be created automatically if it does not already exist, due to the auto-create-application option. The source bundle is a .war file stored in an s3 bucket named “my-bucket” that contains the Apache Tomcat sample application.

Output:

{
  "ApplicationVersion": {
      "ApplicationName": "MyApp",
      "VersionLabel": "v1",
      "Description": "MyAppv1",
      "DateCreated": "2015-02-03T23:01:25.412Z",
      "DateUpdated": "2015-02-03T23:01:25.412Z",
      "SourceBundle": {
          "S3Bucket": "my-bucket",
          "S3Key": "sample.war"
      }
  }
}

Processing – Elastic Beanstalk is currently processing the application version.

Building – Application version is currently undergoing an AWS CodeBuild build.

Processed – Elastic Beanstalk was successfully pre-processed and validated.

Failed – Either the AWS CodeBuild build failed or configuration files didn’t pass validation. This application version isn’t usable.
