AWS Step Functions

2023/06/22 - AWS Step Functions - 8 new 7 updated api methods

Changes  Adds support for Versions and Aliases. Adds 8 operations: PublishStateMachineVersion, DeleteStateMachineVersion, ListStateMachineVersions, CreateStateMachineAlias, DescribeStateMachineAlias, UpdateStateMachineAlias, DeleteStateMachineAlias, ListStateMachineAliases

CreateStateMachineAlias (new) Link ¶

Creates an alias for a state machine that points to one or two versions of the same state machine. You can set your application to call StartExecution with an alias and update the version the alias uses without changing the client's code.

You can also map an alias to split StartExecution requests between two versions of a state machine. To do this, add a second RoutingConfig object in the routingConfiguration parameter. You must also specify the percentage of execution run requests each version should receive in both RoutingConfig objects. Step Functions randomly chooses which version runs a given execution based on the percentage you specify.

To create an alias that points to a single version, specify a single RoutingConfig object with a weight set to 100.

You can create up to 100 aliases for each state machine. You must delete unused aliases using the DeleteStateMachineAlias API action.

CreateStateMachineAlias is an idempotent API. Step Functions bases the idempotency check on the stateMachineArn , description , name , and routingConfiguration parameters. Requests that contain the same values for these parameters return a successful idempotent response without creating a duplicate resource.

Request Syntax

client.create_state_machine_alias(
    description='string',
    name='string',
    routingConfiguration=[
        {
            'stateMachineVersionArn': 'string',
            'weight': 123
        },
    ]
)
type description

string

param description

A description for the state machine alias.

type name

string

param name

[REQUIRED]

The name of the state machine alias.

To avoid conflict with version ARNs, don't use an integer in the name of the alias.

type routingConfiguration

list

param routingConfiguration

[REQUIRED]

The routing configuration of a state machine alias. The routing configuration shifts execution traffic between two state machine versions. routingConfiguration contains an array of RoutingConfig objects that specify up to two state machine versions. Step Functions then randomly choses which version to run an execution with based on the weight assigned to each RoutingConfig .

  • (dict) --

    Contains details about the routing configuration of a state machine alias. In a routing configuration, you define an array of objects that specify up to two state machine versions. You also specify the percentage of traffic to be routed to each version.

    • stateMachineVersionArn (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies one or two state machine versions defined in the routing configuration.

      If you specify the ARN of a second version, it must belong to the same state machine as the first version.

    • weight (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

      The percentage of traffic you want to route to the second state machine version. The sum of the weights in the routing configuration must be equal to 100.

{
    'stateMachineAliasArn': 'string',
    'creationDate': datetime(2015, 1, 1)
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • stateMachineAliasArn (string) --

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies the created state machine alias.

    • creationDate (datetime) --

      The date the state machine alias was created.

PublishStateMachineVersion (new) Link ¶

Creates a version from the current revision of a state machine. Use versions to create immutable snapshots of your state machine. You can start executions from versions either directly or with an alias. To create an alias, use CreateStateMachineAlias.

You can publish up to 1000 versions for each state machine. You must manually delete unused versions using the DeleteStateMachineVersion API action.

PublishStateMachineVersion is an idempotent API. It doesn't create a duplicate state machine version if it already exists for the current revision. Step Functions bases PublishStateMachineVersion 's idempotency check on the stateMachineArn , name , and revisionId parameters. Requests with the same parameters return a successful idempotent response. If you don't specify a revisionId , Step Functions checks for a previously published version of the state machine's current revision.

  • DeleteStateMachineVersion

  • ListStateMachineVersions

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

client.publish_state_machine_version(

string

param stateMachineArn

[REQUIRED]

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the state machine.

type revisionId

string

param revisionId

Only publish the state machine version if the current state machine's revision ID matches the specified ID.

Use this option to avoid publishing a version if the state machine changed since you last updated it. If the specified revision ID doesn't match the state machine's current revision ID, the API returns ConflictException .

Note

To specify an initial revision ID for a state machine with no revision ID assigned, specify the string INITIAL for the revisionId parameter. For example, you can specify a revisionID of INITIAL when you create a state machine using the CreateStateMachine API action.

CreateStateMachine (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request, response)
Request
{'publish': 'boolean', 'versionDescription': 'string'}
Response
{'stateMachineVersionArn': 'string'}

Creates a state machine. A state machine consists of a collection of states that can do work ( Task states), determine to which states to transition next ( Choice states), stop an execution with an error ( Fail states), and so on. State machines are specified using a JSON-based, structured language. For more information, see Amazon States Language in the Step Functions User Guide.

If you set the publish parameter of this API action to true , it publishes version 1 as the first revision of the state machine.

Note

This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.

Note

CreateStateMachine is an idempotent API. Subsequent requests won’t create a duplicate resource if it was already created. CreateStateMachine 's idempotency check is based on the state machine name , definition , type , LoggingConfiguration , and TracingConfiguration . The check is also based on the publish and versionDescription parameters. If a following request has a different roleArn or tags , Step Functions will ignore these differences and treat it as an idempotent request of the previous. In this case, roleArn and tags will not be updated, even if they are different.

    • stateMachineAliasArn (string) --

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the state machine alias associated with the execution. The alias ARN is a combination of state machine ARN and the alias name separated by a colon (:). For example, stateMachineARN:PROD .

      If you start an execution from a StartExecution request with a state machine version ARN, this field will be null.

DescribeStateMachine (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'description': 'string', 'revisionId': 'string'}

Provides information about a state machine's definition, its IAM role Amazon Resource Name (ARN), and configuration.

A qualified state machine ARN can either refer to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine, a version ARN, or an alias ARN.

The following are some examples of qualified and unqualified state machine ARNs:

  • The following qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state with a label mapStateLabel in a state machine named myStateMachine . arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:myStateMachine/mapStateLabel

Note

If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a Distributed Map state , the request fails with ValidationException .

  • The following qualified state machine ARN refers to an alias named PROD . arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine:PROD>

Note

If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a version ARN or an alias ARN, the request starts execution for that version or alias.

  • The following unqualified state machine ARN refers to a state machine named myStateMachine . arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine>

This API action returns the details for a state machine version if the stateMachineArn you specify is a state machine version ARN.

Note

This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.

ListExecutions (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'executions': {'stateMachineAliasArn': 'string',
                'stateMachineVersionArn': 'string'}}

Lists all executions of a state machine or a Map Run. You can list all executions related to a state machine by specifying a state machine Amazon Resource Name (ARN), or those related to a Map Run by specifying a Map Run ARN.

You can also provide a state machine alias ARN or version ARN to list the executions associated with a specific alias or version.

Results are sorted by time, with the most recent execution first.

If nextToken is returned, there are more results available. The value of nextToken is a unique pagination token for each page. Make the call again using the returned token to retrieve the next page. Keep all other arguments unchanged. Each pagination token expires after 24 hours. Using an expired pagination token will return an HTTP 400 InvalidToken error.

Note

This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.

This API action is not supported by EXPRESS state machines.

        • itemCount (integer) --

          The total number of items processed in a child workflow execution. This field is returned only if mapRunArn was specified in the ListExecutions API action. If stateMachineArn was specified in ListExecutions , the itemCount field isn't returned.

        • stateMachineVersionArn (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the state machine version associated with the execution.

          If the state machine execution was started with an unqualified ARN, it returns null.

          If the execution was started using a stateMachineAliasArn , both the stateMachineAliasArn and stateMachineVersionArn parameters contain the respective values.

        • stateMachineAliasArn (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the state machine alias used to start an execution.

          If the state machine execution was started with an unqualified ARN or a version ARN, it returns null.

    • nextToken (string) --

      If nextToken is returned, there are more results available. The value of nextToken is a unique pagination token for each page. Make the call again using the returned token to retrieve the next page. Keep all other arguments unchanged. Each pagination token expires after 24 hours. Using an expired pagination token will return an HTTP 400 InvalidToken error.

Changes (request, response)
Request
{'publish': 'boolean', 'versionDescription': 'string'}
Response
{'revisionId': 'string', 'stateMachineVersionArn': 'string'}

Updates an existing state machine by modifying its definition , roleArn , or loggingConfiguration . Running executions will continue to use the previous definition and roleArn . You must include at least one of definition or roleArn or you will receive a MissingRequiredParameter error.

A qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine. For example, the qualified state machine ARN arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:stateMachineName/mapStateLabel refers to a Distributed Map state with a label mapStateLabel in the state machine named stateMachineName .

A qualified state machine ARN can either refer to a Distributed Map state defined within a state machine, a version ARN, or an alias ARN.

The following are some examples of qualified and unqualified state machine ARNs:

  • The following qualified state machine ARN refers to a Distributed Map state with a label mapStateLabel in a state machine named myStateMachine . arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:myStateMachine/mapStateLabel

Note

If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a Distributed Map state , the request fails with ValidationException .

  • The following qualified state machine ARN refers to an alias named PROD . arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine:PROD>

Note

If you provide a qualified state machine ARN that refers to a version ARN or an alias ARN, the request starts execution for that version or alias.

  • The following unqualified state machine ARN refers to a state machine named myStateMachine . arn:<partition>:states:<region>:<account-id>:stateMachine:<myStateMachine>

After you update your state machine, you can set the publish parameter to true in the same action to publish a new version. This way, you can opt-in to strict versioning of your state machine.

Note

Step Functions assigns monotonically increasing integers for state machine versions, starting at version number 1.

Note

All StartExecution calls within a few seconds use the updated definition and roleArn . Executions started immediately after you call UpdateStateMachine may use the previous state machine definition and roleArn .
