create-host¶

Description¶

Creates a resource that represents the infrastructure where a third-party provider is installed. The host is used when you create connections to an installed third-party provider type, such as GitHub Enterprise Server. You create one host for all connections to that provider.

Note

A host created through the CLI or the SDK is in PENDING status by default. You can make its status AVAILABLE by setting up the host in the console.

Synopsis¶

  create-host
--name <value>
--provider-type <value>
--provider-endpoint <value>
[--vpc-configuration <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--name (string)

The name of the host to be created. The name must be unique in the calling AWS account.

--provider-type (string)

The name of the installed provider to be associated with your connection. The host resource represents the infrastructure where your provider type is installed. The valid provider type is GitHub Enterprise Server.

Possible values:

Bitbucket

GitHub

GitHubEnterpriseServer

--provider-endpoint (string)

The endpoint of the infrastructure to be represented by the host after it is created.

--vpc-configuration (structure)

The VPC configuration to be provisioned for the host. A VPC must be configured and the infrastructure to be represented by the host must already be connected to the VPC.

VpcId -> (string)

The ID of the Amazon VPC connected to the infrastructure where your provider type is installed.

SubnetIds -> (list)

The ID of the subnet or subnets associated with the Amazon VPC connected to the infrastructure where your provider type is installed.

(string)

SecurityGroupIds -> (list)

The ID of the security group or security groups associated with the Amazon VPC connected to the infrastructure where your provider type is installed.

(string)

TlsCertificate -> (string)

The value of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate associated with the infrastructure where your provider type is installed.

Shorthand Syntax:

VpcId=string,SubnetIds=string,string,SecurityGroupIds=string,string,TlsCertificate=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "VpcId": "string",
  "SubnetIds": ["string", ...],
  "SecurityGroupIds": ["string", ...],
  "TlsCertificate": "string"
}

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those 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. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--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. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

To create a host

The following create-host example shows how to create a host to represent the endpoint for the infrastructure where your third-party provider is installed. This example creates a host where the third-party installed provider is GitHub Enterprise Server.

A host created through the AWS CLI is in Pending status by default. After you create a host with the CLI, use the console or the CLI to set up the host to make its status Available.

aws codestar-connections create-host \
    --name MyHost \
    --provider-type GitHubEnterpriseServer \
    --provider-endpoint "https://my-instance.dev"

Output:

{
    "HostArn": "arn:aws:codestar-connections:us-east-1:123456789012:host/My-Host-28aef605"
}

For more information, see Create a host (CLI) in the Developer Tools console User Guide.

Output¶

HostArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the host to be created.
