register-instance¶
Description¶
Registers instances that were created outside of AWS OpsWorks Stacks with a specified stack.
Note
We do not recommend using this action to register instances. The complete registration operation includes two tasks: installing the AWS OpsWorks Stacks agent on the instance, and registering the instance with the stack. RegisterInstance handles only the second step. You should instead use the AWS CLI register command, which performs the entire registration operation. For more information, see Registering an Instance with an AWS OpsWorks Stacks Stack .
Registered instances have the same requirements as instances that are created by using the CreateInstance API. For example, registered instances must be running a supported Linux-based operating system, and they must have a supported instance type. For more information about requirements for instances that you want to register, see Preparing the Instance .
Required Permissions : To use this action, an IAM user must have a Manage permissions level for the stack or an attached policy that explicitly grants permissions. For more information on user permissions, see Managing User Permissions .

Synopsis¶
register-instance
--stack-id <value>
[--hostname <value>]
[--public-ip <value>]
[--private-ip <value>]
[--rsa-public-key <value>]
[--rsa-public-key-fingerprint <value>]
[--instance-identity <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
Options¶
--stack-id (string)
The ID of the stack that the instance is to be registered with.
--hostname (string)
The instance’s hostname.
--public-ip (string)
The instance’s public IP address.
--private-ip (string)
The instance’s private IP address.
--rsa-public-key (string)
The instances public RSA key. This key is used to encrypt communication between the instance and the service.
--rsa-public-key-fingerprint (string)
The instances public RSA key fingerprint.
--instance-identity (structure)
An InstanceIdentity object that contains the instance’s identity.
Document -> (string)
A JSON document that contains the metadata.
Signature -> (string)
A signature that can be used to verify the document’s accuracy and authenticity.
Shorthand Syntax:
Document=string,Signature=string
JSON Syntax:
{
"Document": "string",
"Signature": "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.
