--client-token (string)

The idempotency token of the distribution configuration.

--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 update a distribution configuration

The following update-distribution-configuration example updates a distribution configuration using a JSON file.

aws imagebuilder update-distribution-configuration \
    --cli-input-json file://update-distribution-configuration.json

Contents of update-distribution-configuration.json:

{
    "distributionConfigurationArn": "arn:aws:imagebuilder:us-west-2:123456789012:distribution-configuration/myexampledistribution",
    "description": "Copies AMI to eu-west-2 and exports to S3",
    "distributions": [
        {
            "region": "us-west-2",
            "amiDistributionConfiguration": {
                "name": "Name {{imagebuilder:buildDate}}",
                "description": "An example image name with parameter references"
            }
        },
        {
            "region": "eu-west-2",
            "amiDistributionConfiguration": {
                "name": "My {{imagebuilder:buildVersion}} image {{imagebuilder:buildDate}}"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Output:

{
    "requestId": "a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111"
}
