 ** [kmsKeyId](#API_CreateComponent_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="imagebuilder-CreateComponent-request-kmsKeyId"></a>
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the KMS key used to encrypt this component. This can be either the Key ARN or the Alias ARN. For more information, see [Key identifiers (KeyId)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/concepts.html#key-id-key-ARN) in the * AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide*.

Valid Values: `Windows | Linux | macOS`   
Required: Yes

 ** [semanticVersion](#API_CreateComponent_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="imagebuilder-CreateComponent-request-semanticVersion"></a>
The semantic version of the component. This version follows the semantic version syntax.  
The semantic version has four nodes: <major>.<minor>.<patch>/<build>. You can assign values for the first three, and can filter on all of them.  
 **Assignment:** For the first three nodes you can assign any positive integer value, including zero, with an upper limit of 2^30-1, or 1073741823 for each node. Image Builder automatically assigns the build number to the fourth node.  
 **Patterns:** You can use any numeric pattern that adheres to the assignment requirements for the nodes that you can assign. For example, you might choose a software version pattern, such as 1.0.0, or a date, such as 2021.01.01.
Type: String  
Pattern: `^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$`   
Required: Yes

 ** [supportedOsVersions](#API_CreateComponent_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="imagebuilder-CreateComponent-request-supportedOsVersions"></a>

The `uri` of a YAML component document file. This must be an S3 URL (`s3://bucket/key`), and the requester must have permission to access the S3 bucket it points to. If you use Amazon S3, you can specify component content up to your service quota.  
Alternatively, you can specify the YAML document inline, using the component `data` property. You cannot specify both properties.  
Type: String
