CreateDeploymentStrategy

A deployment strategy defines important criteria for rolling out your configuration to the designated targets. A deployment strategy includes: the overall duration required, a percentage of targets to receive the deployment during each interval, an algorithm that defines how percentage grows, and bake time.

URI Request Parameters

The request does not use any URI parameters.

Request Body

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

DeploymentDurationInMinutes

Total amount of time for a deployment to last.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of 0. Maximum value of 1440.

Required: Yes

Description

A description of the deployment strategy.

Type: String

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

Required: No

FinalBakeTimeInMinutes

The amount of time AWS AppConfig monitors for alarms before considering the deployment to be complete and no longer eligible for automatic roll back.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of 0. Maximum value of 1440.

Required: No

GrowthFactor

The percentage of targets to receive a deployed configuration during each interval.

Type: Float

Valid Range: Minimum value of 1.0. Maximum value of 100.0.

Required: Yes

GrowthType

The algorithm used to define how percentage grows over time. AWS AppConfig supports the following growth types:

Linear: For this type, AppConfig processes the deployment by dividing the total number of targets by the value specified for Step percentage. For example, a linear deployment that uses a Step percentage of 10 deploys the configuration to 10 percent of the hosts. After those deployments are complete, the system deploys the configuration to the next 10 percent. This continues until 100% of the targets have successfully received the configuration.

Exponential: For this type, AppConfig processes the deployment exponentially using the following formula: G*(2^N). In this formula, G is the growth factor specified by the user and N is the number of steps until the configuration is deployed to all targets. For example, if you specify a growth factor of 2, then the system rolls out the configuration as follows:

2*(2^0)

2*(2^1)

2*(2^2)

Expressed numerically, the deployment rolls out as follows: 2% of the targets, 4% of the targets, 8% of the targets, and continues until the configuration has been deployed to all targets.

Type: String

Valid Values: LINEAR | EXPONENTIAL

Required: No

Name

A name for the deployment strategy.

Type: String

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

Required: Yes

ReplicateTo

Save the deployment strategy to a Systems Manager (SSM) document.

Type: String

Valid Values: NONE | SSM_DOCUMENT

Required: Yes

Tags

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

Type: String to string map

Map Entries: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 50 items.

Key Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Value Length Constraints: Maximum length of 256.

Required: No
