Schema file - AWS Proton

Schema file

As an administrator, when you use the Open API Data Models (schemas) section to define a parameter schema YAML file for your template bundle, AWS Proton can validate parameter value inputs against the requirements that you defined in your schema.

For more information about formats and available keywords, see the Schema object section of the OpenAPI.

Schema requirements for environment template bundles

Your schema must follow the Data Models (schemas) section of the OpenAPI in the YAML format. It must also be a part of your environment template bundle.

For your environment schema, you must include the formatted headers to establish that you're using the Data Models (schemas) section of the Open API. In the following environment schema examples, these headers appear in the first three lines.

An environment_input_type must be included and defined with a name that you provide. In the following examples, this is defined on line 5. By defining this parameter, you associate it with an AWS Proton environment resource.

To follow the Open API schema model, you must include types. In the following example, this is line 6.

Following types, you must define an environment_input_type type. You define the input parameters for your environment as properties of the environment_input_type. You must include at least one property with a name that matches at least one parameter that's listed in the environment infrastructure as code (IaC) file that's associated with schema.

When you create an environment and provide customized parameter values, AWS Proton uses the schema file to match, validate, and inject them into the curly braced parameters in the associated CloudFormation IaC file. For each property (parameter), provide a name and type. Optionally, also provide a description, default,and pattern.

The defined parameters for the following example standard environment template schema include vpc_cidr, subnet_one_cidr, and subnet_two_cidr with the default keyword and default values. When you create an environment with this environment template bundle schema, you can accept the default values or provide your own. If a parameter doesn't have a default value and is listed as a required property (parameter), you must provide values for it when you create an environment.

The second example standard environment template schema lists the required parameter my_other_sample_input.

You can create a schema for two types of environment templates. For more information, see Register and publish templates.

  • Standard environment templates

    In the following example, an environment input type is defined with a description and input properties. This schema example can be used with the AWS Proton CloudFormation IaC file shown in Example 3.

    Example schema for a standard environment template:

    schema: # required format: # required openapi: "3.0.0" # required # required defined by administrator environment_input_type: "PublicEnvironmentInput" types: # required # defined by administrator PublicEnvironmentInput: type: object description: "Input properties for my environment" properties: vpc_cidr: # parameter type: string description: "This CIDR range for your VPC" default: 10.0.0.0/16 pattern: ([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}($|/(16|24)) subnet_one_cidr: # parameter type: string description: "The CIDR range for subnet one" default: 10.0.0.0/24 pattern: ([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}($|/(16|24)) subnet_two_cidr: # parameter type: string description: "The CIDR range for subnet one" default: 10.0.1.0/24 pattern: ([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}($|/(16|24))

    Example schema for a standard environment template that includes a required parameter:

    schema: # required format: # required openapi: "3.0.0" # required # required defined by administrator environment_input_type: "MyEnvironmentInputType" types: # required # defined by administrator MyEnvironmentInputType: type: object description: "Input properties for my environment" properties: my_sample_input: # parameter type: string description: "This is a sample input" default: "hello world" my_other_sample_input: # parameter type: string description: "Another sample input" another_optional_input: # parameter type: string description: "Another optional input" default: "!" required: - my_other_sample_input
  • Customer managed environment templates

    In the following example, the schema only includes a list of outputs that replicate the outputs from the IaC that you used to provision your customer managed infrastructure. You need to define output value types as strings only (not lists, arrays or other types). For example, the next code snippet shows the outputs section of an external AWS CloudFormation template. This is from the template shown in Example 1. It can be used to create external customer managed infrastructure for an AWS Proton Fargate service created from Example 4.

    Important

    As an administrator, you must ensure that your provisioned and managed infrastructure and all output parameters are compatible with the associated customer managed environment templates. AWS Proton can't account for changes on your behalf because these changes aren't visible to AWS Proton. Inconsistencies result in failures.

    Example CloudFormation IaC file outputs for a customer managed environment template:

    // Cloudformation Template Outputs [...] Outputs: ClusterName: Description: The name of the ECS cluster Value: !Ref 'ECSCluster' ECSTaskExecutionRole: Description: The ARN of the ECS role Value: !GetAtt 'ECSTaskExecutionRole.Arn' VpcId: Description: The ID of the VPC that this stack is deployed in Value: !Ref 'VPC' [...]

    The schema for the corresponding AWS Proton customer managed environment template bundle is shown in the following example. Each output value is defined as a string.

    Example schema for a customer managed environment template:

    schema: # required format: # required openapi: "3.0.0" # required # required defined by administrator environment_input_type: "EnvironmentOutput" types: # required # defined by administrator EnvironmentOutput: type: object description: "Outputs of the environment" properties: ClusterName: # parameter type: string description: "The name of the ECS cluster" ECSTaskExecutionRole: # parameter type: string description: "The ARN of the ECS role" VpcId: # parameter type: string description: "The ID of the VPC that this stack is deployed in" [...]

Schema requirements for service template bundles

Your schema must follow the Data Models (schemas) section of the OpenAPI in YAML format as shown in the following examples. You must provide a schema file in your service template bundle.

In the following service schema examples, you must include the formatted headers. In the following example, this is in the first three lines. This is to establish that you're using the Data Models (schemas) section of the Open API.

A service_input_type must be included and defined with a name that you provide. In the following example, this is in line 5. This associates the parameters with an AWS Proton service resource.

An AWS Proton service pipeline is included by default when you use the console or the CLI to create a service. When you include a service pipeline for your service, you must include pipeline_input_type with a name that you provide. In the following example, this is in line 7. Don’t include this parameter if you aren’t including an AWS Proton service pipeline. For more information, see Register and publish templates.

To follow the Open API schema model, you must include types In the following example, this is in line 9.

Following types, you must define a service_input_type type. You define the input parameters for your service as properties of the service_input_type. You must include at least one property with a name that matches at least one parameter listed in the service infrastructure as code (IaC) file that is associated with schema.

To define a service pipeline, below your service_input_type definition, you must define a pipeline_input_type. As above, you must include at least one property with a name that matches at least one parameter listed in a pipeline IaC file that is associated with schema. Don’t include this definition if you aren’t including an AWS Proton service pipeline.

When you, as an administrator or developer, create a service and provide customized parameter values, AWS Proton uses the schema file to match, validate, and inject them into the associated CloudFormation IaC file’s curly braced parameters. For each property (parameter), provide a name and a type. Optionally, also provide a description, default, and pattern.

The defined parameters for the example schema include port, desired_count, task_size and image with the default keyword and default values. When you create a service with this service template bundle schema, you can accept the default values or provide your own. The parameter unique_name is also included in the example and doesn't have a default value. It is listed as a required property (parameter). You, as administrator or developer, must provide values for required parameters when you create services.

If you want to create a service template with a service pipeline, include the pipeline_input_type in your schema.

Example service schema file for a service that includes an AWS Proton service pipeline.

This schema example can be used with the AWS Proton IaC files shown in Example 4 and Example 5. A service pipeline is included.
