Creating an AWS AppConfig freeform configuration profile (command line)
The following procedure describes how to use the AWS CLI (on Linux or Windows) or AWS Tools for PowerShell to create an AWS AppConfig freeform configuration profile. If you prefer, you can use AWS CloudShell to run the commands listed below. For more information, see What is AWS CloudShell? in the AWS CloudShell User Guide.
Note
For freeform configurations hosted in the AWS AppConfig hosted configuration store, you
specify hosted for the location URI.
To create a configuration profile by using the AWS CLI
-
Open the AWS CLI.
-
Run the following command to create a freeform configuration profile.
Important
Note the following important information.
-
If you created a configuration profile for AWS CodePipeline, then you must create a pipeline in CodePipeline that specifies AWS AppConfig as the deploy provider. You don't need to perform Deploying feature flags and configuration data in AWS AppConfig. However, you must configure a client to receive application configuration updates as described in Retrieving configurations by directly calling APIs. For information about creating a pipeline that specifies AWS AppConfig as the deploy provider, see Tutorial: Create a Pipeline that Uses AWS AppConfig as a Deployment Provider in the AWS CodePipeline User Guide.
-
If you created a configuration in the AWS AppConfig hosted configuration store, you can create new versions of the configuration by using the CreateHostedConfigurationVersion API operations. To view AWS CLI details and sample commands for this API operation, see create-hosted-configuration-version in the AWS CLI Command Reference.
Proceed to Deploying feature flags and configuration data in AWS AppConfig.
