create-configuration-profile

Description

Creates a configuration profile, which is information that enables AppConfig to access the configuration source. Valid configuration sources include the following:

  • Configuration data in YAML, JSON, and other formats stored in the AppConfig hosted configuration store
  • Configuration data stored as objects in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket
  • Pipelines stored in CodePipeline
  • Secrets stored in Secrets Manager
  • Standard and secure string parameters stored in Amazon Web Services Systems Manager Parameter Store
  • Configuration data in SSM documents stored in the Systems Manager document store

A configuration profile includes the following information:

  • The URI location of the configuration data.
  • The Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that provides access to the configuration data.
  • A validator for the configuration data. Available validators include either a JSON Schema or an Amazon Web Services Lambda function.

For more information, see Create a Configuration and a Configuration Profile in the AppConfig User Guide .

Options

--application-id (string)

The application ID.

--name (string)

A name for the configuration profile.

--description (string)

A description of the configuration profile.

--location-uri (string)

A URI to locate the configuration. You can specify the following:

  • For the AppConfig hosted configuration store and for feature flags, specify hosted .
  • For an Amazon Web Services Systems Manager Parameter Store parameter, specify either the parameter name in the format ssm-parameter://<parameter name> or the ARN.
  • For an Amazon Web Services CodePipeline pipeline, specify the URI in the following format: codepipeline ://<pipeline name>.
  • For an Secrets Manager secret, specify the URI in the following format: secretsmanager ://<secret name>.
  • For an Amazon S3 object, specify the URI in the following format: s3://<bucket>/<objectKey> . Here is an example: s3://amzn-s3-demo-bucket/my-app/us-east-1/my-config.json
  • For an SSM document, specify either the document name in the format ssm-document://<document name> or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN).

--retrieval-role-arn (string)

The ARN of an IAM role with permission to access the configuration at the specified LocationUri .

Warning

A retrieval role ARN is not required for configurations stored in the AppConfig hosted configuration store. It is required for all other sources that store your configuration.

--validators (list)

A list of methods for validating the configuration.

(structure)

A validator provides a syntactic or semantic check to ensure the configuration that you want to deploy functions as intended. To validate your application configuration data, you provide a schema or an Amazon Web Services Lambda function that runs against the configuration. The configuration deployment or update can only proceed when the configuration data is valid. For more information, see About validators in the AppConfig User Guide .

Type -> (string)

AppConfig supports validators of type JSON_SCHEMA and LAMBDA

Content -> (string)

Either the JSON Schema content or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an Lambda function.

Shorthand Syntax:

Type=string,Content=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Type": "JSON_SCHEMA"|"LAMBDA",
    "Content": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--tags (map)

Metadata to assign to the configuration profile. Tags help organize and categorize your AppConfig resources. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--type (string)

The type of configurations contained in the profile. AppConfig supports feature flags and freeform configurations. We recommend you create feature flag configurations to enable or disable new features and freeform configurations to distribute configurations to an application. When calling this API, enter one of the following values for Type :

AWS.AppConfig.FeatureFlags

AWS.Freeform

--kms-key-identifier (string)

The identifier for an Key Management Service key to encrypt new configuration data versions in the AppConfig hosted configuration store. This attribute is only used for hosted configuration types. The identifier can be an KMS key ID, alias, or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the key ID or alias. To encrypt data managed in other configuration stores, see the documentation for how to specify an KMS key for that particular service.

--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 create a configuration profile

The following create-configuration-profile example creates a configuration profile using a configuration stored in Parameter Store, a capability of Systems Manager.

aws appconfig create-configuration-profile \
    --application-id "339ohji" \
    --name "Example-Configuration-Profile" \
    --location-uri "ssm-parameter://Example-Parameter" \
    --retrieval-role-arn "arn:aws:iam::111122223333:role/Example-App-Config-Role"

Output:

{
    "ApplicationId": "339ohji",
    "Description": null,
    "Id": "ur8hx2f",
    "LocationUri": "ssm-parameter://Example-Parameter",
    "Name": "Example-Configuration-Profile",
    "RetrievalRoleArn": "arn:aws:iam::111122223333:role/Example-App-Config-Role",
    "Type": null,
    "Validators": null
}

AWS.Freeform

KmsKeyArn -> (string)
