IoTJobsDataPlaneClient

IoT Jobs is a service that allows you to define a set of jobs — remote operations that are sent to and executed on one or more devices connected to Amazon Web Services IoT Core. For example, you can define a job that instructs a set of devices to download and install application or firmware updates, reboot, rotate certificates, or perform remote troubleshooting operations.

Find the endpoint address for actions in the IoT jobs data plane by running this CLI command:

aws iot describe-endpoint --endpoint-type iot:Jobs

The service name used by Amazon Web Services Signature Version 4  to sign requests is: iot-jobs-data.

To create a job, you make a job document which is a description of the remote operations to be performed, and you specify a list of targets that should perform the operations. The targets can be individual things, thing groups or both.

IoT Jobs sends a message to inform the targets that a job is available. The target starts the execution of the job by downloading the job document, performing the operations it specifies, and reporting its progress to Amazon Web Services IoT Core. The Jobs service provides commands to track the progress of a job on a specific target and for all the targets of the job

IoTJobsDataPlaneClient Operations

Command
Summary
DescribeJobExecutionCommand

Gets details of a job execution.

Requires permission to access the DescribeJobExecution  action.

StartCommandExecutionCommand

Using the command created with the CreateCommand API, start a command execution on a specific device.

StartNextPendingJobExecutionCommand

Gets and starts the next pending (status IN_PROGRESS or QUEUED) job execution for a thing.

Requires permission to access the StartNextPendingJobExecution  action.

UpdateJobExecutionCommand

Updates the status of a job execution.

IoTJobsDataPlaneClient Configuration

Parameter
Type
Description
defaultsMode
Optional
DefaultsMode | Provider<DefaultsMode>
The @smithy/smithy-client#DefaultsMode that will be used to determine how certain default configuration options are resolved in the SDK.
disableHostPrefix
Optional
boolean
Disable dynamically changing the endpoint of the client based on the hostPrefix trait of an operation.
extensions
Optional
RuntimeExtension[]
Optional extensions
logger
Optional
Logger
Optional logger for logging debug/info/warn/error.
maxAttempts
Optional
number | Provider<number>
Value for how many times a request will be made at most in case of retry.
profile
Optional
string
Setting a client profile is similar to setting a value for the AWS_PROFILE environment variable. Setting a profile on a client in code only affects the single client instance, unlike AWS_PROFILE.When set, and only for environments where an AWS configuration file exists, fields configurable by this file will be retrieved from the specified profile within that file. Conflicting code configuration and environment variables will still have higher priority.For client credential resolution that involves checking the AWS configuration file, the client's profile (this value) will be used unless a different profile is set in the credential provider options.
region
Optional
string | Provider<string>
The AWS region to which this client will send requests
requestHandler
Optional
__HttpHandlerUserInput
The HTTP handler to use or its constructor options. Fetch in browser and Https in Nodejs.
retryMode
Optional
string | Provider<string>
Specifies which retry algorithm to use.
useDualstackEndpoint
Optional
boolean | Provider<boolean>
Enables IPv6/IPv4 dualstack endpoint.
useFipsEndpoint
Optional
boolean | Provider<boolean>
Enables FIPS compatible endpoints.
