create-experiment-template¶

Description¶

Creates an experiment template.

An experiment template includes the following components:

Targets : A target can be a specific resource in your Amazon Web Services environment, or one or more resources that match criteria that you specify, for example, resources that have specific tags.
Actions : The actions to carry out on the target. You can specify multiple actions, the duration of each action, and when to start each action during an experiment.
Stop conditions : If a stop condition is triggered while an experiment is running, the experiment is automatically stopped. You can define a stop condition as a CloudWatch alarm.

For more information, see Experiment templates in the Fault Injection Simulator User Guide .

Options¶

--client-token (string)

Unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request.

--description (string)

A description for the experiment template.

--stop-conditions (list)

The stop conditions.

(structure)

Specifies a stop condition for an experiment template.

source -> (string)

The source for the stop condition. Specify aws:cloudwatch:alarm if the stop condition is defined by a CloudWatch alarm. Specify none if there is no stop condition.

value -> (string)

The targets for the experiment.

key -> (string)

value -> (structure)

--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 experiment template

The following create-experiment-template example creates an experiment template in your AWS FIS account.
