add-endpoints¶

Description¶

Add endpoints to an endpoint group. The AddEndpoints API operation is the recommended option for adding endpoints. The alternative options are to add endpoints when you create an endpoint group (with the CreateEndpointGroup API) or when you update an endpoint group (with the UpdateEndpointGroup API).

There are two advantages to using AddEndpoints to add endpoints in Global Accelerator:

It’s faster, because Global Accelerator only has to resolve the new endpoints that you’re adding, rather than resolving new and existing endpoints.
It’s more convenient, because you don’t need to specify the current endpoints that are already in the endpoint group, in addition to the new endpoints that you want to add.

For information about endpoint types and requirements for endpoints that you can add to Global Accelerator, see Endpoints for standard accelerators in the Global Accelerator Developer Guide .

Options¶

--endpoint-configurations (list)

The list of endpoint objects.

(structure)

A complex type for endpoints. A resource must be valid and active when you add it as an endpoint.

EndpointId -> (string)

An ID for the endpoint. If the endpoint is a Network Load Balancer or Application Load Balancer, this is the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the resource. If the endpoint is an Elastic IP address, this is the Elastic IP address allocation ID. For Amazon EC2 instances, this is the EC2 instance ID. A resource must be valid and active when you add it as an endpoint.

For cross-account endpoints, this must be the ARN of the resource.

Weight -> (integer)

The weight associated with the endpoint. When you add weights to endpoints, you configure Global Accelerator to route traffic based on proportions that you specify. For example, you might specify endpoint weights of 4, 5, 5, and 6 (sum=20). The result is that 4/20 of your traffic, on average, is routed to the first endpoint, 5/20 is routed both to the second and third endpoints, and 6/20 is routed to the last endpoint. For more information, see Endpoint weights in the Global Accelerator Developer Guide .

ClientIPPreservationEnabled -> (boolean)

Indicates whether client IP address preservation is enabled for an endpoint. The value is true or false. The default value is true for Application Load Balancer endpoints.

If the value is set to true, the client’s IP address is preserved in the X-Forwarded-For request header as traffic travels to applications on the endpoint fronted by the accelerator.

Client IP address preservation is supported, in specific Amazon Web Services Regions, for endpoints that are Application Load Balancers, Amazon EC2 instances, and Network Load Balancers with security groups. IMPORTANT: You cannot use client IP address preservation with Network Load Balancers with TLS listeners.

For more information, see Preserve client IP addresses in Global Accelerator in the Global Accelerator Developer Guide .

AttachmentArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the cross-account attachment that specifies the endpoints (resources) that can be added to accelerators and principals that have permission to add the endpoints.

Shorthand Syntax:

EndpointId=string,Weight=integer,ClientIPPreservationEnabled=boolean,AttachmentArn=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "EndpointId": "string",
    "Weight": integer,
    "ClientIPPreservationEnabled": true|false,
    "AttachmentArn": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--endpoint-group-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the endpoint group.

--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. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--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¶

EndpointDescriptions -> (list)

The list of endpoint objects.

(structure)

A complex type for an endpoint. Each endpoint group can include one or more endpoints, such as load balancers.

EndpointId -> (string)

An ID for the endpoint. If the endpoint is a Network Load Balancer or Application Load Balancer, this is the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the resource. If the endpoint is an Elastic IP address, this is the Elastic IP address allocation ID. For Amazon EC2 instances, this is the EC2 instance ID.

An Application Load Balancer can be either internal or internet-facing.

Weight -> (integer)

The weight associated with the endpoint. When you add weights to endpoints, you configure Global Accelerator to route traffic based on proportions that you specify. For example, you might specify endpoint weights of 4, 5, 5, and 6 (sum=20). The result is that 4/20 of your traffic, on average, is routed to the first endpoint, 5/20 is routed both to the second and third endpoints, and 6/20 is routed to the last endpoint. For more information, see Endpoint weights in the Global Accelerator Developer Guide .

HealthState -> (string)

The health status of the endpoint.

HealthReason -> (string)

Returns a null result.

ClientIPPreservationEnabled -> (boolean)

Indicates whether client IP address preservation is enabled for an endpoint. The value is true or false. The default value is true for Application Load Balancers endpoints.

If the value is set to true, the client’s IP address is preserved in the X-Forwarded-For request header as traffic travels to applications on the endpoint fronted by the accelerator.

Client IP address preservation is supported, in specific Amazon Web Services Regions, for endpoints that are Application Load Balancers, Amazon EC2 instances, and Network Load Balancers with security groups. IMPORTANT: You cannot use client IP address preservation with Network Load Balancers with TLS listeners.
