Synopsis

Calls the AWS IoT Things Graph CreateSystemInstance API operation.

Syntax

New-IOTTGSystemInstance
-Target <DeploymentTarget>
-MetricsConfiguration_CloudMetricEnabled <Boolean>
-FlowActionsRoleArn <String>
-GreengrassGroupName <String>
-Definition_Language <DefinitionLanguage>
-MetricsConfiguration_MetricRuleRoleArn <String>
-S3BucketName <String>
-Tag <Tag[]>
-Definition_Text <String>
-Select <String>
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
-Force <SwitchParameter>

Description

Creates a system instance. This action validates the system instance, prepares the deployment-related resources. For Greengrass deployments, it updates the Greengrass group that is specified by the greengrassGroupName parameter. It also adds a file to the S3 bucket specified by the s3BucketName parameter. You need to call DeploySystemInstance after running this action. For Greengrass deployments, since this action modifies and adds resources to a Greengrass group and an S3 bucket on the caller's behalf, the calling identity must have write permissions to both the specified Greengrass group and S3 bucket. Otherwise, the call will fail with an authorization error. For cloud deployments, this action requires a flowActionsRoleArn value. This is an IAM role that has permissions to access AWS services, such as AWS Lambda and AWS IoT, that the flow uses when it executes. If the definition document doesn't specify a version of the user's namespace, the latest version will be used by default.

Parameters

-Definition_Language <DefinitionLanguage>
The language used to define the entity. GRAPHQL is the only valid value.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Definition_Text <String>
The GraphQL text that defines the entity.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-FlowActionsRoleArn <String>
The ARN of the IAM role that AWS IoT Things Graph will assume when it executes the flow. This role must have read and write access to AWS Lambda and AWS IoT and any other AWS services that the flow uses when it executes. This value is required if the value of the target parameter is CLOUD.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-GreengrassGroupName <String>
The name of the Greengrass group where the system instance will be deployed. This value is required if the value of the target parameter is GREENGRASS.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-MetricsConfiguration_CloudMetricEnabled <Boolean>
A Boolean that specifies whether cloud metrics are collected.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-MetricsConfiguration_MetricRuleRoleArn <String>
The ARN of the role that is used to collect cloud metrics.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
Changes the cmdlet behavior to return the value passed to the Target parameter. The -PassThru parameter is deprecated, use -Select '^Target' instead. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-S3BucketName <String>
The name of the Amazon Simple Storage Service bucket that will be used to store and deploy the system instance's resource file. This value is required if the value of the target parameter is GREENGRASS.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'Summary'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.IoTThingsGraph.Model.CreateSystemInstanceResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.IoTThingsGraph.Model.CreateSystemInstanceResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Tag <Tag[]>
Metadata, consisting of key-value pairs, that can be used to categorize your system instances.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesTags
-Target <DeploymentTarget>
The target type of the deployment. Valid values are GREENGRASS and CLOUD.
Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Aliases AK
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
-ProfileLocation <String>

Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)

If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials. Note that the encrypted credential file is not supported on all platforms. It will be skipped when searching for profiles on Windows Nano Server, Mac, and Linux platforms.

If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.

As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.

Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Aliases AWSProfilesLocation, ProfilesLocation
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing credential information. The profile is expected to be found in the secure credential file shared with the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. You can also specify the name of a profile stored in the .ini-format credential file used with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Aliases AWSProfileName, StoredCredentials
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile. Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
-SecretKey <String>
The AWS secret key for the user account. This can be a temporary secret key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Aliases SecretAccessKey, SK
-SessionToken <String>
The session token if the access and secret keys are temporary session-based credentials.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Aliases ST
-Region <String>
The system name of the AWS region in which the operation should be invoked. For example, us-east-1, eu-west-1 etc.
Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Aliases RegionToCall
-EndpointUrl <String>

The endpoint to make the call against.

Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.

Required? False
Position? Named
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Inputs

Amazon.IoTThingsGraph.DeploymentTarget
You can pipe a DeploymentTarget object to this cmdlet for the Target parameter.

Outputs

Amazon.IoTThingsGraph.Model.SystemInstanceSummary or Amazon.IoTThingsGraph.Model.CreateSystemInstanceResponse
This cmdlet returns an Amazon.IoTThingsGraph.Model.SystemInstanceSummary object. The service call response (type Amazon.IoTThingsGraph.Model.CreateSystemInstanceResponse) can also be referenced from properties attached to the cmdlet entry in the $AWSHistory stack.
