Create an AWS IoT FleetWise fleet - AWS IoT FleetWise

AWS IoT FleetWise will no longer be open to new customers as of April 30, 2026. Existing AWS IoT FleetWise customers can continue using the service. The Guidance for Connected Mobility on AWS provides guidance on how to develop and deploy modular services for connected mobility solutions that can be used to achieve equivalent capabilities as AWS IoT FleetWise.

Create an AWS IoT FleetWise fleet

You can use the CreateFleet API operation to create a vehicle fleet. The following example uses AWS CLI.

Important

You must have a signal catalog before you can create a fleet. For more information, see Create an AWS IoT FleetWise signal catalog.

To create a fleet, run the following command.

  • Replace fleet-id with the ID of the fleet that you're creating.

    The fleet ID must be unique and have 1-100 characters. Valid characters: letters (A-Z and a-z), numbers (0-9), colons (:), dashes (-), and underscores (_).

  • (Optional) Replace description with a description.

    The description can have 1-2048 characters.

  • Replace signal-catalog-arn with the ARN of the signal catalog.

aws iotfleetwise create-fleet \
   --fleet-id fleet-id \
   --description description \
   --signal-catalog-arn signal-catalog-arn

If you enabled encryption using a customer managed AWS KMS key, include the following policy statement so that your role can invoke the CreateFleet API operation.
