sam deploy - AWS Serverless Application Model
UsageEnvironment variablesOptions

sam deploy

This page provides reference information for the AWS Serverless Application Model Command Line Interface (AWS SAM CLI) sam deploy command.

The sam deploy command deploys an application to the AWS Cloud using AWS CloudFormation.

Usage

$ <environment variables> sam deploy <options>

Environment variables

SAM_CLI_POLL_DELAY

Set the SAM_CLI_POLL_DELAY environment variable with a value of seconds in your shell to configure how often the AWS SAM CLI checks the AWS CloudFormation stack state, which is useful when seeing throttling from AWS CloudFormation. This env variable is used for polling describe_stack API calls, which are made while running sam deploy.

The following is an example of this variable:

$ SAM_CLI_POLL_DELAY=5 sam deploy

Options

--capabilities LIST

A list of capabilities that you must specify to allow AWS CloudFormation to create certain stacks. Some stack templates might include resources that affect permissions in your AWS account, for example, by creating new AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users. For those stacks, you must explicitly acknowledge their capabilities by specifying this option. The only valid values are CAPABILITY_IAM and CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM. If you have IAM resources, then you can specify either capability. If you have IAM resources with custom names, then you must specify CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM. If you don't specify this option, then the operation returns an InsufficientCapabilities error.

When you deploy an application that contains nested applications, you must use CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND to acknowledge the application contains nexted applications. For more information, see Deploying nested applications.

--config-env TEXT

The environment name specifying the default parameter values in the configuration file to use. The default value is default. For more information about configuration files, see AWS SAM CLI configuration file.

--config-file PATH

The path and file name of the configuration file containing default parameter values to use. The default value is samconfig.toml in the root of the project directory. For more information about configuration files, see AWS SAM CLI configuration file.

--confirm-changeset | --no-confirm-changeset

Prompt to confirm whether the AWS SAM CLI deploys the computed changeset.

--debug

Turn on debug logging to print the debug message that the AWS SAM CLI generates and to display timestamps.

--disable-rollback | --no-disable-rollback

Specify whether to roll back your AWS CloudFormation stack if an error occurs during a deployment. By default, if there's an error during a deployment, your AWS CloudFormation stack rolls back to the last stable state. If you specify --disable-rollback and an error occurs during a deployment, then resources that were created or updated before the error occurred aren't rolled back.

--fail-on-empty-changeset | --no-fail-on-empty-changeset

Specify whether to return a non-zero exit code if there are no changes to make to the stack. The default behavior is to return a non-zero exit code.

--force-upload

Specify this option to upload artifacts even if they match existing artifacts in the Amazon S3 bucket. Matching artifacts are overwritten.

--guided, -g

Specify this option to have the AWS SAM CLI use prompts to guide you through the deployment.

--help

Show this message and exit.

--image-repositories TEXT

A mapping of functions to their Amazon ECR repository URI. Reference functions by their logical ID. The following is an example:

$ sam deploy --image-repositories Function1=123456789012.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/my-repo

You can specify this option multiple times in a single command.

--image-repository TEXT

The name of the Amazon ECR repository where this command uploads your function's image. This option is required for functions declared with the Image package type.

--kms-key-id TEXT

The ID of an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) key used to encrypt artifacts that are at rest in the Amazon S3 bucket. If you don't specify this option, then AWS SAM uses Amazon S3-managed encryption keys.

--metadata

A map of metadata to attach to all artifacts that are referenced in your template.

--no-execute-changeset

Indicates whether to apply the changeset. Specify this option if you want to view your stack changes before applying the changeset. This command creates an AWS CloudFormation changeset and then exits without applying the changeset. To apply the changeset, run the same command without this option.

--no-progressbar

Do not display a progress bar when uploading artifacts to Amazon S3.

--notification-arns LIST

A list of Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic ARNs that AWS CloudFormation associates with the stack.

--on-failure [ROLLBACK | DELETE | DO_NOTHING]

Specify the action to take when a stack fails to create.

The following options are available:

  • ROLLBACK – Rolls back the stack to a previous known good state.

  • DELETE – Rolls back the stack to a previous known good state, if one exists. Otherwise, deletes the stack.

  • DO_NOTHING – Neither rolls back nor deletes the stack. The effect is the same as that of --disable-rollback.

The default behavior is ROLLBACK.

Note

You can specify either the --disable-rollback option or the --on-failure option, but not both.

--parameter-overrides LIST

A string that contains AWS CloudFormation parameter overrides encoded as key-value pairs. Use the same format as the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). The AWS SAM CLI format is explicit key and value keywords, each override is separated by a space. Here are two examples:

$ sam deploy --parameter-overrides ParameterKey=value1,ParameterValue=value2
$ sam deploy --parameter-overrides ParameterKey=value1,ParameterValue=value2 ParameterKey=hello,ParameterValue=world ParameterKey=apple,ParameterValue=banana
--profile TEXT

The specific profile from your credential file that gets AWS credentials.

--region TEXT

The AWS Region to deploy to. For example, us-east-1.

--resolve-image-repos

Automatically create Amazon ECR repositories to use for packaging and deploying for non-guided deployments. This option applies only to functions and layers with PackageType: Image specified. If you specify the --guided option, then the AWS SAM CLI ignores --resolve-image-repos.

Note

If AWS SAM automatically creates any Amazon ECR repositories for functions or layers with this option, and you later delete those functions or layers from your AWS SAM template, then the corresponding Amazon ECR repositories are automatically deleted.

--resolve-s3

Automatically create an Amazon S3 bucket to use for packaging and deploying for non-guided deployments. If you specify the --guided option, then the AWS SAM CLI ignores --resolve-s3. If you specify both the --s3-bucket and --resolve-s3 options, then an error occurs.

--role-arn TEXT

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an IAM role that AWS CloudFormation assumes when applying the changeset.

--s3-bucket TEXT

The name of the Amazon S3 bucket where this command uploads your AWS CloudFormation template. If your template is larger than 51,200 bytes, then either the --s3-bucket option or the --resolve-s3 option is required. If you specify both the --s3-bucket and --resolve-s3 options, then an error occurs.

--s3-prefix TEXT

The prefix added to the names of the artifacts that are uploaded to the Amazon S3 bucket. The prefix name is a path name (folder name) for the Amazon S3 bucket.

--save-params

Save the parameters that you provide at the command line to the AWS SAM configuration file.

--signing-profiles LIST

The list of signing profiles to sign your deployment packages with. This option takes a list of key-value pairs, where the key is the name of the function or layer to sign, and the value is the signing profile, with an optional profile owner delimited with :. For example, FunctionNameToSign=SigningProfileName1 LayerNameToSign=SigningProfileName2:SigningProfileOwner.

--stack-name TEXT

(Required) The name of the AWS CloudFormation stack that you're deploying to. If you specify an existing stack, then the command updates the stack. If you specify a new stack, then the command creates it.

--tags LIST

A list of tags to associate with the stack that is created or updated. AWS CloudFormation also propagates these tags to resources in the stack that support it.

--template-file, --template, -t PATH

The path and file name where your AWS SAM template is located.

Note

If you specify this option, then AWS SAM deploys only the template and the local resources that it points to.

--use-json

Output JSON for the AWS CloudFormation template. The default output is YAML.
