Description

Updates a generated template. This can be used to change the name, add and remove resources, refresh resources, and change the DeletionPolicy and UpdateReplacePolicy settings. You can check the status of the update to the generated template using the DescribeGeneratedTemplate API action.

Options

--generated-template-name (string)

The name or Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a generated template.

--new-generated-template-name (string)

An optional new name to assign to the generated template.

--add-resources (list)

An optional list of resources to be added to the generated template.

(structure)

A resource included in a generated template. This data type is used with the CreateGeneratedTemplate and UpdateGeneratedTemplate API actions.

ResourceType -> (string)

The type of the resource, such as AWS::DynamoDB::Table . For the list of supported resources, see IaC generator supported resource types in the CloudFormation User Guide

LogicalResourceId -> (string)

The logical resource id for this resource in the generated template.

ResourceIdentifier -> (map)

A list of up to 256 key-value pairs that identifies the scanned resource. The key is the name of one of the primary identifiers for the resource. (Primary identifiers are specified in the primaryIdentifier list in the resource schema.) The value is the value of that primary identifier. For example, for a AWS::DynamoDB::Table resource, the primary identifiers is TableName so the key-value pair could be "TableName": "MyDDBTable" . For more information, see primaryIdentifier in the CloudFormation Command Line Interface User guide for extension development .

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

ResourceType=string,LogicalResourceId=string,ResourceIdentifier={KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string} ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "ResourceType": "string",
    "LogicalResourceId": "string",
    "ResourceIdentifier": {"string": "string"
      ...}
  }
  ...
]

--remove-resources (list)

A list of logical ids for resources to remove from the generated template.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--refresh-all-resources | --no-refresh-all-resources (boolean)

If true , update the resource properties in the generated template with their current live state. This feature is useful when the resource properties in your generated a template does not reflect the live state of the resource properties. This happens when a user update the resource properties after generating a template.

--template-configuration (structure)

The configuration details of the generated template, including the DeletionPolicy and UpdateReplacePolicy .

DeletionPolicy -> (string)

The DeletionPolicy assigned to resources in the generated template. Supported values are:

  • DELETE - delete all resources when the stack is deleted.
  • RETAIN - retain all resources when the stack is deleted.

For more information, see DeletionPolicy attribute in the CloudFormation User Guide .

UpdateReplacePolicy -> (string)

The UpdateReplacePolicy assigned to resources in the generated template. Supported values are:

  • DELETE - delete all resources when the resource is replaced during an update operation.
  • RETAIN - retain all resources when the resource is replaced during an update operation.

For more information, see UpdateReplacePolicy attribute in the CloudFormation User Guide .

Shorthand Syntax:

DeletionPolicy=string,UpdateReplacePolicy=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "DeletionPolicy": "DELETE"|"RETAIN",
  "UpdateReplacePolicy": "DELETE"|"RETAIN"
}

--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.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table
  • yaml
  • yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64
  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Output

GeneratedTemplateId -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the generated template. The format is arn:${Partition}:cloudformation:${Region}:${Account}:generatedtemplate/${Id} . For example, ``arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1 :123456789012 :generatedtemplate/2e8465c1-9a80-43ea-a3a3-4f2d692fe6dc `` .
