CreateConfigurationProfile

Creates a configuration profile, which is information that enables AWS AppConfig to access the configuration source. Valid configuration sources include the AWS AppConfig hosted configuration store, AWS Systems Manager (SSM) documents, SSM Parameter Store parameters, Amazon S3 objects, or any integration source action supported by AWS CodePipeline. A configuration profile includes the following information:

The URI location of the configuration data.
The AWS 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 AWS Lambda function.

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

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 1024.

Required: No

LocationUri

A URI to locate the configuration. You can specify the AWS AppConfig hosted configuration store, Systems Manager (SSM) document, an SSM Parameter Store parameter, or an Amazon S3 object. For the hosted configuration store and for feature flags, specify hosted. For an SSM document, specify either the document name in the format ssm-document://<Document_name> or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN). For a parameter, specify either the parameter name in the format ssm-parameter://<Parameter_name> or the ARN. For an Amazon S3 object, specify the URI in the following format: s3://<bucket>/<objectKey>. Here is an example: s3://my-bucket/my-app/us-east-1/my-config.json

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 2048.

Required: Yes

Name

A name for the configuration profile.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64.

Required: Yes

RetrievalRoleArn

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

Important

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

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 20. Maximum length of 2048.

Pattern: ^((arn):(aws|aws-cn|aws-iso|aws-iso-[a-z]{1}|aws-us-gov):(iam)::\d{12}:role[/].*)$

When calling this API, enter one of the following values for Type:

AWS.AppConfig.FeatureFlags

AWS.Freeform

Type: String

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z\.]+
