Description

Creates an Amazon Q Business index.

To determine if index creation has completed, check the Status field returned from a call to DescribeIndex . The Status field is set to ACTIVE when the index is ready to use.

Once the index is active, you can index your documents using the ` BatchPutDocument https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/api-reference/API_BatchPutDocument.html`__ API or the ` CreateDataSource https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/api-reference/API_CreateDataSource.html`__ API.

--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.
