Creates a replication job. The replication job schedules periodic replication runs to replicate your server to Amazon Web Services. Each replication run creates an Amazon Machine Image (AMI).

--server-id
(string)
The ID of the server.
--seed-replication-time
(timestamp)
The seed replication time.
--frequency
(integer)
The time between consecutive replication runs, in hours.
--run-once
| --no-run-once
(boolean)
Indicates whether to run the replication job one time.
--license-type
(string)
The license type to be used for the AMI created by a successful replication run.
Possible values:
AWS
BYOL
--role-name
(string)
The name of the IAM role to be used by the Server Migration Service.
--description
(string)
The description of the replication job.
--number-of-recent-amis-to-keep
(integer)
The maximum number of SMS-created AMIs to retain. The oldest is deleted after the maximum number is reached and a new AMI is created.
--encrypted
| --no-encrypted
(boolean)
Indicates whether the replication job produces encrypted AMIs.
--kms-key-id
(string)
The ID of the KMS key for replication jobs that produce encrypted AMIs. This value can be any of the following:
KMS key ID
KMS key alias
ARN referring to the KMS key ID
ARN referring to the KMS key alias
If encrypted is true but a KMS key ID is not specified, the customer’s default KMS key for Amazon EBS is used.
--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.
