Options

--client-token (string)

Unique, case-sensitive identifier the service generates to ensure the idempotency of the request to create an application. The service generates the clientToken when the API call is triggered. The token expires after one hour, so if you retry the API within this timeframe with the same clientToken, you will get the same response. The service also handles deleting the clientToken after it expires.

--definition (tagged union structure)

The application definition for this application. You can specify either inline JSON or an S3 bucket location.

Note

This is a Tagged Union structure. Only one of the following top level keys can be set: content, s3Location.

content -> (string)

The content of the application definition. This is a JSON object that contains the resource configuration/definitions that identify an application.

s3Location -> (string)

The S3 bucket that contains the application definition.

Shorthand Syntax:

content=string,s3Location=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "content": "string",
  "s3Location": "string"
}

--description (string)

The description of the application.

--engine-type (string)

The type of the target platform for this application.

Possible values:

  • microfocus
  • bluage

--kms-key-id (string)

The identifier of a customer managed key.

--name (string)

The unique identifier of the application.

--role-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies a role that the application uses to access Amazon Web Services resources that are not part of the application or are in a different Amazon Web Services account.

--tags (map)

A list of tags to apply to the application.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--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.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.
