In responses, AWS OpsWorks Stacks returns *****FILTERED***** instead of the actual value.

SshKey -> (string)

In requests, the repository’s SSH key.

In responses, AWS OpsWorks Stacks returns *****FILTERED***** instead of the actual value.

Revision -> (string)

The application’s version. AWS OpsWorks Stacks enables you to easily deploy new versions of an application. One of the simplest approaches is to have branches or revisions in your repository that represent different versions that can potentially be deployed.

Shorthand Syntax:

Type=string,Url=string,Username=string,Password=string,SshKey=string,Revision=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Type": "git"|"svn"|"archive"|"s3",
  "Url": "string",
  "Username": "string",
  "Password": "string",
  "SshKey": "string",
  "Revision": "string"
}

--domains (list)

The app’s virtual host settings, with multiple domains separated by commas. For example: 'www.example.com, example.com'

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--enable-ssl | --no-enable-ssl (boolean)

Certificate -> (string)

The contents of the certificate’s domain.crt file.

PrivateKey -> (string)

The private key; the contents of the certificate’s domain.kex file.

Chain -> (string)

Optional. Can be used to specify an intermediate certificate authority key or client authentication.

Shorthand Syntax:

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Certificate": "string",

  "Chain": "string"
}

--attributes (map)

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

  KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

Where valid key names are:
  DocumentRoot
  RailsEnv
  AutoBundleOnDeploy
  AwsFlowRubySettings

JSON Syntax:

{"DocumentRoot"|"RailsEnv"|"AutoBundleOnDeploy"|"AwsFlowRubySettings": "string"
  ...}

--environment (list)

An array of EnvironmentVariable objects that specify environment variables to be associated with the app. After you deploy the app, these variables are defined on the associated app server instances.For more information, see Environment Variables .

There is no specific limit on the number of environment variables. However, the size of the associated data structure - which includes the variables’ names, values, and protected flag values - cannot exceed 20 KB. This limit should accommodate most if not all use cases. Exceeding it will cause an exception with the message, “Environment: is too large (maximum is 20 KB).”

Note

If you have specified one or more environment variables, you cannot modify the stack’s Chef version.

(structure)

Represents an app’s environment variable.

Key -> (string)

(Required) The environment variable’s name, which can consist of up to 64 characters and must be specified. The name can contain upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and underscores (_), but it must start with a letter or underscore.

Value -> (string)

(Optional) The environment variable’s value, which can be left empty. If you specify a value, it can contain up to 256 characters, which must all be printable.

Secure -> (boolean)

(Optional) Whether the variable’s value will be returned by the DescribeApps action. To conceal an environment variable’s value, set Secure to true . DescribeApps then returns *****FILTERED***** instead of the actual value. The default value for Secure is false .

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string,Secure=boolean ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string",
    "Secure": true|false
  }
  ...
]

--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 an app

The following example updates a specified app to change its name.

aws opsworks --region us-east-1 update-app --app-id 26a61ead-d201-47e3-b55c-2a7c666942f8 --name NewAppName
