AWS CLI Command Reference

[ aws . redshift ]

create-hsm-configuration

Description

Creates an HSM configuration that contains the information required by an Amazon Redshift cluster to store and use database encryption keys in a Hardware Security Module (HSM). After creating the HSM configuration, you can specify it as a parameter when creating a cluster. The cluster will then store its encryption keys in the HSM.

In addition to creating an HSM configuration, you must also create an HSM client certificate. For more information, go to Hardware Security Modules in the Amazon Redshift Cluster Management Guide.

Options

--hsm-configuration-identifier (string)

The identifier to be assigned to the new Amazon Redshift HSM configuration.

--description (string)

A text description of the HSM configuration to be created.

--hsm-ip-address (string)

The IP address that the Amazon Redshift cluster must use to access the HSM.

--hsm-partition-name (string)

The name of the partition in the HSM where the Amazon Redshift clusters will store their database encryption keys.

--hsm-partition-password (string)

The password required to access the HSM partition.

--hsm-server-public-certificate (string)

The HSMs public certificate file. When using Cloud HSM, the file name is server.pem.

--tags (list)

A list of tag instances.

(structure)

A tag consisting of a name/value pair for a resource.

Key -> (string)

The key, or name, for the resource tag.

Value -> (string)

The value for the resource tag.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--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 .

To create an HSM configuration

The following create-hsm-configuration example creates the specified HSM configuration that contains information required by a cluster to store and use database encryption keys in a hardware security module (HSM).

aws redshift create-hsm-configuration /
    --hsm-configuration-identifier myhsmconnection
    --description "My HSM connection"
    --hsm-ip-address 192.0.2.09
    --hsm-partition-name myhsmpartition /
    --hsm-partition-password A1b2c3d4 /
    --hsm-server-public-certificate myhsmclientcert

Output:

{
    "HsmConfiguration": {
        "HsmConfigurationIdentifier": "myhsmconnection",
        "Description": "My HSM connection",
        "HsmIpAddress": "192.0.2.09",
        "HsmPartitionName": "myhsmpartition",
        "Tags": []
    }
}

Output

HsmConfiguration -> (structure)

Returns information about an HSM configuration, which is an object that describes to Amazon Redshift clusters the information they require to connect to an HSM where they can store database encryption keys.

HsmConfigurationIdentifier -> (string)

The name of the Amazon Redshift HSM configuration.

Description -> (string)

A text description of the HSM configuration.

HsmIpAddress -> (string)

The IP address that the Amazon Redshift cluster must use to access the HSM.

The name of the partition in the HSM where the Amazon Redshift clusters will store their database encryption keys.
