update-server¶

Description¶

Updates settings for a server.

This operation is synchronous.

Synopsis¶

  update-server
[--disable-automated-backup | --no-disable-automated-backup]
[--backup-retention-count <value>]
--server-name <value>
[--preferred-maintenance-window <value>]
[--preferred-backup-window <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--disable-automated-backup | --no-disable-automated-backup (boolean)

Setting DisableAutomatedBackup to true disables automated or scheduled backups. Automated backups are enabled by default.

--backup-retention-count (integer)

Sets the number of automated backups that you want to keep.

--server-name (string)

The name of the server to update.

--preferred-maintenance-window (string)

DDD:HH:MM (weekly start time) or HH:MM (daily start time).

Time windows always use coordinated universal time (UTC). Valid strings for day of week (DDD ) are: Mon , Tue , Wed , Thr , Fri , Sat , or Sun .

--preferred-backup-window (string)

DDD:HH:MM (weekly start time) or HH:MM (daily start time).

Time windows always use coordinated universal time (UTC). Valid strings for day of week (DDD ) are: Mon , Tue , Wed , Thr , Fri , Sat , or Sun .

--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 update a server

The following update-server command updates the maintenance start time of the specified Chef Automate server in your default region. The --preferred-maintenance-window parameter is added to change the start day and time of server maintenance to Mondays at 9:15 a.m. UTC.:

aws opsworks-cm update-server \
    --server-name "automate-06" \
    --preferred-maintenance-window "Mon:09:15"

The output shows you information similar to the following about the updated server.

    "Server": {
        "BackupRetentionCount": 8,
        "CreatedAt": 2016-07-29T13:38:47.520Z,

Output¶

Server -> (structure)

Contains the response to a UpdateServer request.

AssociatePublicIpAddress -> (boolean)

Associate a public IP address with a server that you are launching.

BackupRetentionCount -> (integer)

The number of automated backups to keep.

ServerName -> (string)

The name of the server.

CreatedAt -> (timestamp)

Time stamp of server creation. Example 2016-07-29T13:38:47.520Z

CloudFormationStackArn -> (string)

The ARN of the CloudFormation stack that was used to create the server.

CustomDomain -> (string)

An optional public endpoint of a server, such as https://aws.my-company.com . You cannot access the server by using the Endpoint value if the server has a CustomDomain specified.

DisableAutomatedBackup -> (boolean)

Disables automated backups. The number of stored backups is dependent on the value of PreferredBackupCount.

Endpoint -> (string)

The engine type of the server. Valid values in this release include ChefAutomate and Puppet .

EngineModel -> (string)

The engine model of the server. Valid values in this release include Monolithic for Puppet and Single for Chef.

EngineAttributes -> (list)

The response of a createServer() request returns the master credential to access the server in EngineAttributes. These credentials are not stored by AWS OpsWorks CM; they are returned only as part of the result of createServer().

Attributes returned in a createServer response for Chef

CHEF_AUTOMATE_PIVOTAL_KEY : A base64-encoded RSA private key that is generated by AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate. This private key is required to access the Chef API.

CHEF_STARTER_KIT : A base64-encoded ZIP file. The ZIP file contains a Chef starter kit, which includes a README, a configuration file, and the required RSA private key. Save this file, unzip it, and then change to the directory where you’ve unzipped the file contents. From this directory, you can run Knife commands.

Attributes returned in a createServer response for Puppet

PUPPET_STARTER_KIT : A base64-encoded ZIP file. The ZIP file contains a Puppet starter kit, including a README and a required private key. Save this file, unzip it, and then change to the directory where you’ve unzipped the file contents.
