Update an environment

If the AWS Proton environment is associated with an environment account connection, don't update or include the protonServiceRoleArn parameter to update or connect to an environment account connection.

You can only update to a new environment account connection if both of the following is true:

The environment account connection was created in the same environment account that the current environment account connection was created in.
>The environment account connection is associated with the current environment.

If the environment isn’t associated with an environment account connection, don’t update or include the environmentAccountConnectionId parameter.

You can update either the environmentAccountConnectionId or protonServiceRoleArn parameter and value. You can’t update both.

If your environment uses self-managed provisioning, don't update the provisioning-repository parameter and omit the environmentAccountConnectionId and protonServiceRoleArn parameters.

There are four modes for updating an environment as described in the following list. When using the AWS CLI, the deployment-type field defines the mode. When using the console, these modes map to the Edit, Update, Update minor, and Update major actions that drop down from Actions.

NONE

In this mode, a deployment doesn't occur. Only the requested metadata parameters are updated.

CURRENT_VERSION

In this mode, the environment is deployed and updated with the new spec that you provide. Only requested parameters are updated. Don’t include minor or major version parameters when you use this deployment-type.

MINOR_VERSION

In this mode, the environment is deployed and updated with the published, recommended (latest) minor version of the current major version in use by default. You can also specify a different minor version of the current major version in use.

MAJOR_VERSION

In this mode, the environment is deployed and updated with the published, recommended (latest) major and minor version of the current template by default. You can also specify a different major version that is higher than the major version in use and a minor version (optional).

Review the pull request that was sent by AWS Proton.
- If you approve the request, provisioning is in progress.
- If you reject the request, the environment creation is cancelled.
- If the pull request times out, environment creation isn't complete.

Provide provisioning status to AWS Proton.

Cancel an environment deployment in progress

You can attempt to cancel an environment update deployment if the deploymentStatus is in IN_PROGRESS. AWS Proton attempts to cancel the deployment. Successful cancellation isn’t guaranteed.

When you cancel an update deployment, AWS Proton attempts to cancel the deployment as listed in the following steps.

With AWS-managed provisioning, AWS Proton does the following:

Sets the deployment state to CANCELLING.
Stops the deployment in progress and deletes any new resources that were created by the deployment when IN_PROGRESS.
Sets the deployment state to CANCELLED.
Reverts the state of the resource to what it was before the deployment was started.

With self-managed provisioning, AWS Proton does the following:

Attempts to close the pull request to prevent merging the changes to your repository.
Sets the deployment state to CANCELLED if the pull request was successfully closed.

For instructions on how to cancel an environment deployment, see CancelEnvironmentDeployment in the AWS Proton API Reference.

You can use the console or CLI to cancel environments that are in progress.

AWS Management Console

Use the console to cancel an environment update deployment as shown in the following steps.

In the AWS Proton console, choose Environments in the navigation pane.
In the list of environments, choose the name of the environment with the deployment update that you want to cancel.
If your update deployment status is In progress, in the environment detail page, choose Actions and then Cancel deployment.
A modal prompts you to confirm that you want to cancel. Choose Cancel deployment.
Your update deployment status is set to Cancelling and then Cancelled to complete the cancellation.

AWS CLI

Use the AWS Proton AWS CLI to cancel an IN_PROGRESS environment update deployment to a new minor version 2.

A wait condition is included in the template used for this example so that the cancellation starts before the update deployment succeeds.

Run the following command to cancel the update:


$ aws proton cancel-environment-deployment \
        --environment-name "MySimpleEnv"
