Options¶

--name (string)

The name of the lifecycle policy to create.

--description (string)

Optional description for the lifecycle policy.

--status (string)

Indicates whether the lifecycle policy resource is enabled.

Possible values:

DISABLED

ENABLED

--execution-role (string)

The name or Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the IAM role you create that grants Image Builder access to run lifecycle actions.

--resource-type (string)

The type of Image Builder resource that the lifecycle policy applies to.

Possible values:

AMI_IMAGE

CONTAINER_IMAGE

--policy-details (list)

Configuration details for the lifecycle policy rules.

(structure)

The configuration details for a lifecycle policy resource.

action -> (structure)

Configuration details for the policy action.

type -> (string)

Specifies the lifecycle action to take.

includeResources -> (structure)

Specifies the resources that the lifecycle policy applies to.

amis -> (boolean)

Specifies whether the lifecycle action should apply to distributed AMIs.

snapshots -> (boolean)

Specifies whether the lifecycle action should apply to snapshots associated with distributed AMIs.

containers -> (boolean)

Specifies whether the lifecycle action should apply to distributed containers.

filter -> (structure)

Specifies the resources that the lifecycle policy applies to.

type -> (string)

Filter resources based on either age or count .

value -> (integer)

The number of units for the time period or for the count. For example, a value of 6 might refer to six months or six AMIs.

Note
For count-based filters, this value represents the minimum number of resources to keep on hand. If you have fewer resources than this number, the resource is excluded from lifecycle actions.

unit -> (string)

Defines the unit of time that the lifecycle policy uses to determine impacted resources. This is required for age-based rules.

retainAtLeast -> (integer)

For age-based filters, this is the number of resources to keep on hand after the lifecycle DELETE action is applied. Impacted resources are only deleted if you have more than this number of resources. If you have fewer resources than this number, the impacted resource is not deleted.

exclusionRules -> (structure)

Additional rules to specify resources that should be exempt from policy actions.

tagMap -> (map)

Contains a list of tags that Image Builder uses to skip lifecycle actions for Image Builder image resources that have them.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

amis -> (structure)

Lists configuration values that apply to AMIs that Image Builder should exclude from the lifecycle action.

isPublic -> (boolean)

Configures whether public AMIs are excluded from the lifecycle action.

regions -> (list)

Configures Amazon Web Services Regions that are excluded from the lifecycle action.

(string)

sharedAccounts -> (list)

Specifies Amazon Web Services accounts whose resources are excluded from the lifecycle action.

(string)

lastLaunched -> (structure)

Specifies configuration details for Image Builder to exclude the most recent resources from lifecycle actions.

value -> (integer)

The integer number of units for the time period. For example 6 (months).

unit -> (string)

Defines the unit of time that the lifecycle policy uses to calculate elapsed time since the last instance launched from the AMI. For example: days, weeks, months, or years.

tagMap -> (map)

Lists tags that should be excluded from lifecycle actions for the AMIs that have them.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

(structure)

Specifies an Image Builder recipe that the lifecycle policy uses for resource selection.

name -> (string)

The name of an Image Builder recipe that the lifecycle policy uses for resource selection.

semanticVersion -> (string)

--client-token (string)

Unique, case-sensitive identifier you provide to ensure idempotency of the request. For more information, see Ensuring idempotency in the Amazon EC2 API Reference .

--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)

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.

Output¶

clientToken -> (string)

The client token that uniquely identifies the request.

lifecyclePolicyArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the lifecycle policy that the request created.
