# CreateConfigurationTemplate
<a name="API_CreateConfigurationTemplate"></a>

Creates an AWS Elastic Beanstalk configuration template, associated with a specific Elastic Beanstalk application. You define application configuration settings in a configuration template. You can then use the configuration template to deploy different versions of the application with the same configuration settings.

Templates aren't associated with any environment. The `EnvironmentName` response element is always `null`.

## Request Parameters
<a name="API_CreateConfigurationTemplate_RequestParameters"></a>

 For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Parameters](CommonParameters.md).

 ** ApplicationName **   
The name of the Elastic Beanstalk application to associate with this configuration template.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 100.  
Required: Yes

 ** Description **   
An optional description for this configuration.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Maximum length of 200.  
Required: No

 ** EnvironmentId **   
The ID of an environment whose settings you want to use to create the configuration template. You must specify `EnvironmentId` if you don't specify `PlatformArn`, `SolutionStackName`, or `SourceConfiguration`.  
Type: String  
Required: No

 **OptionSettings.member.N**   
Option values for the Elastic Beanstalk configuration, such as the instance type. If specified, these values override the values obtained from the solution stack or the source configuration template. For a complete list of Elastic Beanstalk configuration options, see [Option Values](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/command-options.html) in the * AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide*.  
Type: Array of [ConfigurationOptionSetting](API_ConfigurationOptionSetting.md) objects  
Required: No

 ** PlatformArn **   
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the custom platform. For more information, see [ Custom Platforms](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/custom-platforms.html) in the * AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide*.  
If you specify `PlatformArn`, then don't specify `SolutionStackName`.
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** SolutionStackName **   
The name of an Elastic Beanstalk solution stack (platform version) that this configuration uses. For example, `64bit Amazon Linux 2013.09 running Tomcat 7 Java 7`. A solution stack specifies the operating system, runtime, and application server for a configuration template. It also determines the set of configuration options as well as the possible and default values. For more information, see [Supported Platforms](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/concepts.platforms.html) in the * AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide*.  
You must specify `SolutionStackName` if you don't specify `PlatformArn`, `EnvironmentId`, or `SourceConfiguration`.  
Use the [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/api/API_ListAvailableSolutionStacks.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/api/API_ListAvailableSolutionStacks.html) API to obtain a list of available solution stacks.  
Type: String  
Required: No

 ** SourceConfiguration **   
An Elastic Beanstalk configuration template to base this one on. If specified, Elastic Beanstalk uses the configuration values from the specified configuration template to create a new configuration.  
Values specified in `OptionSettings` override any values obtained from the `SourceConfiguration`.  
You must specify `SourceConfiguration` if you don't specify `PlatformArn`, `EnvironmentId`, or `SolutionStackName`.  
Constraint: If both solution stack name and source configuration are specified, the solution stack of the source configuration template must match the specified solution stack name.  
Type: [SourceConfiguration](API_SourceConfiguration.md) object  
Required: No

 **Tags.member.N**   
Specifies the tags applied to the configuration template.  
Type: Array of [Tag](API_Tag.md) objects  
Required: No

 ** TemplateName **   
The name of the configuration template.  
Constraint: This name must be unique per application.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 100.  
Required: Yes
