--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--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. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See 'aws help' for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

To tag a CloudFront distribution

The following tag-resource example adds two tags to the specified CloudFront distribution.

aws cloudfront tag-resource \
    --resource arn:aws:cloudfront::123456789012:distribution/EDFDVBD6EXAMPLE \
    --tags 'Items=[{Key=Name,Value="Example name"},{Key=Project,Value="Example project"}]'

Instead of using command line arguments, you can provide the tags in a JSON file, as shown in the following example:

aws cloudfront tag-resource \
    --resource arn:aws:cloudfront::123456789012:distribution/EDFDVBD6EXAMPLE \
    --tags file://tags.json

Contents of tags.json:

{
    "Items": [
        {
            "Key": "Name",
            "Value": "Example name"
        },
        {
            "Key": "Project",
            "Value": "Example project"
        }
    ]
}

This command produces no output.

Output
