[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--debug]
[--endpoint-url <value>]

Options

--extension-identifier (string)

The name, the ID, or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the extension.

--version-number (integer)

The extension version number. If no version number was defined, AppConfig uses the highest version.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI 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.

--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. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

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

--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.

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 get extension details

The following get-extension example displays information about an extension.

aws appconfig get-extension \
    --region us-west-2 \
    --extension-identifier S3-backup-extension

Output:

{
    "Id": "1A2B3C4D",
    "Name": "S3-backup-extension",
    "VersionNumber": 1,
    "Arn": "arn:aws:appconfig:us-west-2:123456789012:extension/S3-backup-extension/1",
    "Actions": {
        "PRE_CREATE_HOSTED_CONFIGURATION_VERSION": [
            {
                "Name": "S3backup",
                "Uri": "arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:123456789012:function:S3backupfunction",
                "RoleArn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/appconfigextensionrole"
            }
        ]
    },
    "Parameters": {
        "S3bucket": {
            "Required": true
        }
    }
}

Output

Id -> (string)

The system-generated ID of the extension.

Name -> (string)

The extension name.

VersionNumber -> (integer)

The extension version number.

Arn -> (string)

The system-generated Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the extension.

Description -> (string)

Information about the extension.

Actions -> (map)

The actions defined in the extension.

key -> (string)

value -> (list)

(structure)

An action defines the tasks that the extension performs during the AppConfig workflow. Each action includes an action point, as shown in the following list:

  • PRE_CREATE_HOSTED_CONFIGURATION_VERSION
  • PRE_START_DEPLOYMENT
  • AT_DEPLOYMENT_TICK
  • ON_DEPLOYMENT_START
  • ON_DEPLOYMENT_STEP
  • ON_DEPLOYMENT_BAKING
  • ON_DEPLOYMENT_COMPLETE
  • ON_DEPLOYMENT_ROLLED_BACK

Each action also includes a name, a URI to an Lambda function, and an Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for an Identity and Access Management assume role. You specify the name, URI, and ARN for each action point defined in the extension.

Name -> (string)

The action name.

Description -> (string)

Information about the action.

Uri -> (string)

The extension URI associated to the action point in the extension definition. The URI can be an Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for one of the following: an Lambda function, an Amazon Simple Queue Service queue, an Amazon Simple Notification Service topic, or the Amazon EventBridge default event bus.

RoleArn -> (string)

An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for an Identity and Access Management assume role.

Parameters -> (map)

The parameters accepted by the extension. You specify parameter values when you associate the extension to an AppConfig resource by using the CreateExtensionAssociation API action. For Lambda extension actions, these parameters are included in the Lambda request object.

key -> (string)

value -> (structure)

A value such as an Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or an Amazon Simple Notification Service topic entered in an extension when invoked. Parameter values are specified in an extension association. For more information about extensions, see Extending workflows in the AppConfig User Guide .

Description -> (string)

Information about the parameter.

Required -> (boolean)

A parameter value must be specified in the extension association.

Dynamic -> (boolean)

Indicates whether this parameter's value can be supplied at the extension's action point instead of during extension association. Dynamic parameters can't be marked Required .
