--target-selection (string)

Specifies whether the update will continue to run (CONTINUOUS), or will be complete after all the things specified as targets have completed the update (SNAPSHOT). If continuous, the update may also be run on a thing when a change is detected in a target. For example, an update will run on a thing when the thing is added to a target group, even after the update was completed by all things originally in the group. Valid values: CONTINUOUS | SNAPSHOT.

Possible values:

CONTINUOUS

SNAPSHOT

--aws-job-executions-rollout-config (structure)

Configuration for the rollout of OTA updates.

maximumPerMinute -> (integer)

The maximum number of OTA update job executions started per minute.

exponentialRate -> (structure)

The rate of increase for a job rollout. This parameter allows you to define an exponential rate increase for a job rollout.

baseRatePerMinute -> (integer)

The minimum number of things that will be notified of a pending job, per minute, at the start of the job rollout. This is the initial rate of the rollout.

incrementFactor -> (double)

The rate of increase for a job rollout. The number of things notified is multiplied by this factor.

rateIncreaseCriteria -> (structure)

The criteria to initiate the increase in rate of rollout for a job.

Amazon Web Services IoT Core supports up to one digit after the decimal (for example, 1.5, but not 1.55).

numberOfNotifiedThings -> (integer)

When this number of things have been notified, it will initiate an increase in the rollout rate.

numberOfSucceededThings -> (integer)

When this number of things have succeeded in their job execution, it will initiate an increase in the rollout rate.

Shorthand Syntax:

maximumPerMinute=integer,exponentialRate={baseRatePerMinute=integer,incrementFactor=double,rateIncreaseCriteria={numberOfNotifiedThings=integer,numberOfSucceededThings=integer}}

JSON Syntax:

{
  "maximumPerMinute": integer,
  "exponentialRate": {
    "baseRatePerMinute": integer,
    "incrementFactor": double,
    "rateIncreaseCriteria": {
      "numberOfNotifiedThings": integer,

    }
  }
}

--aws-job-presigned-url-config (structure)

Configuration information for pre-signed URLs.

expiresInSec -> (long)

How long (in seconds) pre-signed URLs are valid. Valid values are 60 - 3600, the default value is 1800 seconds. Pre-signed URLs are generated when a request for the job document is received.

Shorthand Syntax:

expiresInSec=long

JSON Syntax:

{
  "expiresInSec": long
}

--aws-job-abort-config (structure)

The criteria that determine when and how a job abort takes place.

abortCriteriaList -> (list)

The list of criteria that determine when and how to abort the job.

(structure)

The criteria that determine when and how a job abort takes place.

failureType -> (string)

The type of job execution failures that can initiate a job abort.

action -> (string)

The type of job action to take to initiate the job abort.

thresholdPercentage -> (double)

The minimum percentage of job execution failures that must occur to initiate the job abort.

Amazon Web Services IoT Core supports up to two digits after the decimal (for example, 10.9 and 10.99, but not 10.999).

minNumberOfExecutedThings -> (integer)

The minimum number of things which must receive job execution notifications before the job can be aborted.

Shorthand Syntax:

abortCriteriaList=[{failureType=string,action=string,thresholdPercentage=double,minNumberOfExecutedThings=integer},{failureType=string,action=string,thresholdPercentage=double,minNumberOfExecutedThings=integer}]

JSON Syntax:

{
  "abortCriteriaList": [
    {
      "failureType": "FAILED"|"REJECTED"|"TIMED_OUT"|"ALL",
      "action": "CANCEL",
      "thresholdPercentage": double,
      "minNumberOfExecutedThings": integer
    }
    ...
  ]
}

--aws-job-timeout-config (structure)

Specifies the amount of time each device has to finish its execution of the job. A timer is started when the job execution status is set to IN_PROGRESS . If the job execution status is not set to another terminal state before the timer expires, it will be automatically set to TIMED_OUT .

inProgressTimeoutInMinutes -> (long)

Specifies the amount of time, in minutes, this device has to finish execution of this job. The timeout interval can be anywhere between 1 minute and 7 days (1 to 10080 minutes). The in progress timer can’t be updated and will apply to all job executions for the job. Whenever a job execution remains in the IN_PROGRESS status for longer than this interval, the job execution will fail and switch to the terminal TIMED_OUT status.

Shorthand Syntax:

inProgressTimeoutInMinutes=long

--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.

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 .
