    • Key (string) --

      User-defined criteria for sending commands that target instances that meet the criteria.

    • Values (list) --

      User-defined criteria that maps to Key. For example, if you specified tag:ServerRole, you could specify value:WebServer to run a command on instances that include Amazon EC2 tags of ServerRole,WebServer.

type MaxConcurrency:

string

param MaxConcurrency:

The maximum number of targets allowed to run this task in parallel. You can specify a number, such as 10, or a percentage, such as 10%. The default value is 10.

type MaxErrors:

string

param MaxErrors:

The number of errors that are allowed before the system stops running the automation on additional targets. You can specify either an absolute number of errors, for example 10, or a percentage of the target set, for example 10%. If you specify 3, for example, the system stops running the automation when the fourth error is received. If you specify 0, then the system stops running the automation on additional targets after the first error result is returned. If you run an automation on 50 resources and set max-errors to 10%, then the system stops running the automation on additional targets when the sixth error is received.

Executions that are already running an automation when max-errors is reached are allowed to complete, but some of these executions may fail as well. If you need to ensure that there won't be more than max-errors failed executions, set max-concurrency to 1 so the executions proceed one at a time.

type TargetLocations:

list

param TargetLocations:

A location is a combination of AWS Regions and/or AWS accounts where you want to run the Automation. Use this action to start an Automation in multiple Regions and multiple accounts. For more information, see Executing Automations in Multiple AWS Regions and Accounts in the AWS Systems Manager User Guide.

    • ExecutionRoleName (string) --

      The Automation execution role used by the currently running Automation.

type Tags:

list

param Tags:

Optional metadata that you assign to a resource. You can specify a maximum of five tags for an automation. Tags enable you to categorize a resource in different ways, such as by purpose, owner, or environment. For example, you might want to tag an automation to identify an environment or operating system. In this case, you could specify the following key name/value pairs:

  • Key=environment,Value=test

  • Key=OS,Value=Windows

  • (dict) --

    Metadata that you assign to your AWS resources. Tags enable you to categorize your resources in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. In Systems Manager, you can apply tags to documents, managed instances, maintenance windows, Parameter Store parameters, and patch baselines.
