Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

imageVersionList

The list of image semantic versions.

Note

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.

Filtering: You can use wildcards (x) to specify the most recent versions or nodes when selecting the base image or components for your recipe. When you use a wildcard in any node, all nodes to the right of the first wildcard must also be wildcards.

Type: Array of ImageVersion objects

nextToken

The next token used for paginated responses. When this field isn't empty, there are additional elements that the service hasn't included in this request. Use this token with the next request to retrieve additional objects.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 65535.

requestId

The request ID that uniquely identifies this request.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1024.
