CreateSoftwareUpdateJob - AWS IoT Greengrass
CLI: Parameters: Responses:

AWS IoT Greengrass Version 1 entered the extended life phase on June 30, 2023. For more information, see the AWS IoT Greengrass V1 maintenance policy. After this date, AWS IoT Greengrass V1 won't release updates that provide features, enhancements, bug fixes, or security patches. Devices that run on AWS IoT Greengrass V1 won't be disrupted and will continue to operate and to connect to the cloud. We strongly recommend that you migrate to AWS IoT Greengrass Version 2, which adds significant new features and support for additional platforms.

CreateSoftwareUpdateJob

Creates a software update for a core or group of cores (specified as an IoT thing group.) Use this to update the OTA agent and the Greengrass core software. It uses the AWS IoT Jobs feature, which provides more commands for managing a Greengrass Core software update job.
