attach-load-balancer-tls-certificate¶

Description¶

Attaches a Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate to your load balancer. TLS is just an updated, more secure version of Secure Socket Layer (SSL).

Once you create and validate your certificate, you can attach it to your load balancer. You can also use this API to rotate the certificates on your account. Use the AttachLoadBalancerTlsCertificate action with the non-attached certificate, and it will replace the existing one and become the attached certificate.

The AttachLoadBalancerTlsCertificate operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by load balancer name . For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide .

Synopsis¶

  attach-load-balancer-tls-certificate
--load-balancer-name <value>
--certificate-name <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--load-balancer-name (string)

The name of the load balancer to which you want to associate the SSL/TLS certificate.

--certificate-name (string)

The name of your SSL/TLS certificate.

--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 attach a TLS certificate to a load balancer

The following attach-load-balancer-tls-certificate example attaches the load balancer TLS certificate Certificate2 to the load balancer LoadBalancer-1.

aws lightsail attach-load-balancer-tls-certificate \
    --certificate-name Certificate2 \
    --load-balancer-name LoadBalancer-1

Output:

{
    "operations": [
        {
            "id": "cf1ad6e3-3cbb-4b8a-a7f2-3EXAMPLEa118",

Output¶

operations -> (list)

An array of objects that describe the result of the action, such as the status of the request, the timestamp of the request, and the resources affected by the request.

These SSL/TLS certificates are only usable by Lightsail load balancers. You can’t get the certificate and use it for another purpose.

(structure)

Describes the API operation.

id -> (string)

The ID of the operation.

resourceName -> (string)

The resource name.

resourceType -> (string)

The resource type.

createdAt -> (timestamp)

The timestamp when the operation was initialized (e.g., 1479816991.349 ).

location -> (structure)

The Amazon Web Services Region and Availability Zone.

availabilityZone -> (string)

The Availability Zone. Follows the format us-east-2a (case-sensitive).

regionName -> (string)

The AWS Region name.

isTerminal -> (boolean)

A Boolean value indicating whether the operation is terminal.

operationDetails -> (string)

Details about the operation (e.g., Debian-1GB-Ohio-1 ).

operationType -> (string)

The type of operation.

status -> (string)

The status of the operation.

statusChangedAt -> (timestamp)

The timestamp when the status was changed (e.g., 1479816991.349 ).

errorCode -> (string)

The error code.

errorDetails -> (string)

The error details.
