CreateGroup (updated)

Changes (both)

{'ResourceQuery': {'Type': {'CLOUDFORMATION_STACK_1_0'}}}

Creates a group with a specified name, description, and resource query.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

client.create_group(
    Name='string',
    Description='string',
    ResourceQuery={
        'Type': 'TAG_FILTERS_1_0'|'CLOUDFORMATION_STACK_1_0',
        'Query': 'string'
    },
    Tags={
        'string': 'string'
    }
)

type Name

string

param Name

[REQUIRED]

The name of the group, which is the identifier of the group in other operations. A resource group name cannot be updated after it is created. A resource group name can have a maximum of 128 characters, including letters, numbers, hyphens, dots, and underscores. The name cannot start with AWS or aws ; these are reserved. A resource group name must be unique within your account.

type Description

string

param Description

The description of the resource group. Descriptions can have a maximum of 511 characters, including letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores, punctuation, and spaces.

type ResourceQuery

dict

param ResourceQuery

[REQUIRED]

The resource query that determines which AWS resources are members of this group.

Type (string) -- [REQUIRED]

The type of the query. The valid values in this release are TAG_FILTERS_1_0 and CLOUDFORMATION_STACK_1_0 .

TAG_FILTERS_1_0: A JSON syntax that lets you specify a collection of simple tag filters for resource types and tags, as supported by the AWS Tagging API GetResources operation. If you specify more than one tag key, only resources that match all tag keys, and at least one value of each specified tag key, are returned in your query. If you specify more than one value for a tag key, a resource matches the filter if it has a tag key value that matches any of the specified values.

For example, consider the following sample query for resources that have two tags, Stage and Version , with two values each. ( [{"Key":"Stage","Values":["Test","Deploy"]},{"Key":"Version","Values":["1","2"]}] ) The results of this query might include the following.
- An EC2 instance that has the following two tags: {"Key":"Stage","Values":["Deploy"]} , and {"Key":"Version","Values":["2"]}
- An S3 bucket that has the following two tags: {"Key":"Stage","Values":["Test","Deploy"]}, and {"Key":"Version","Values":["1"]}
The query would not return the following results, however. The following EC2 instance does not have all tag keys specified in the filter, so it is rejected. The RDS database has all of the tag keys, but no values that match at least one of the specified tag key values in the filter.
- An EC2 instance that has only the following tag: {"Key":"Stage","Values":["Deploy"]} .
- An RDS database that has the following two tags: {"Key":"Stage","Values":["Archived"]} , and {"Key":"Version","Values":["4"]}
  
  CLOUDFORMATION_STACK_1_0: A JSON syntax that lets you specify a CloudFormation stack ARN.
Query (string) -- [REQUIRED]

The query that defines a group or a search.

type Tags

dict

param Tags

The tags to add to the group. A tag is a string-to-string map of key-value pairs. Tag keys can have a maximum character length of 128 characters, and tag values can have a maximum length of 256 characters.
