API Reference

AWS services or capabilities described in AWS Documentation may vary by region/location. Click Getting Started with Amazon AWS to see specific differences applicable to the China (Beijing) Region.

.NET Framework 3.5
 
Container for the parameters to the UpdateAlias operation. Updates an alias to map it to a different key.

An alias is not a property of a key. Therefore, an alias can be mapped to and unmapped from an existing key without changing the properties of the key.

An alias name can contain only alphanumeric characters, forward slashes (/), underscores (_), and dashes (-). An alias must start with the word "alias" followed by a forward slash (alias/). An alias that begins with "aws" after the forward slash (alias/aws...) is reserved by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The alias and the key it is mapped to must be in the same AWS account and the same region.
