Changes  Supports creating API-only services under DNS namespace. Add namespace syntax validation.

CreateService (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request, response)
Request
{'Type': 'HTTP'}
Response
{'Service': {'Type': 'HTTP | DNS_HTTP | DNS'}}

Creates a service, which defines the configuration for the following entities:

  • For public and private DNS namespaces, one of the following combinations of DNS records in Amazon Route 53:

    • A

    • AAAA

    • A and AAAA

    • SRV

    • CNAME

  • Optionally, a health check

After you create the service, you can submit a RegisterInstance request, and AWS Cloud Map uses the values in the configuration to create the specified entities.

For the current quota on the number of instances that you can register using the same namespace and using the same service, see AWS Cloud Map Limits in the AWS Cloud Map Developer Guide .

type Name

string

param Name

[REQUIRED]

The name that you want to assign to the service.

If you want AWS Cloud Map to create an SRV record when you register an instance, and if you're using a system that requires a specific SRV format, such as HAProxy, specify the following for Name :

  • Start the name with an underscore (_), such as _exampleservice

  • End the name with ._protocol , such as ._tcp

When you register an instance, AWS Cloud Map creates an SRV record and assigns a name to the record by concatenating the service name and the namespace name, for example:

_exampleservice._tcp.example.com

Note

For a single DNS namespace, you cannot create two services with names that differ only by case (such as EXAMPLE and example). Otherwise, these services will have the same DNS name. However, you can create multiple HTTP services with names that differ only by case because HTTP services are case sensitive.

type NamespaceId

string

param NamespaceId

The ID of the namespace that you want to use to create the service.

type CreatorRequestId

string

param CreatorRequestId

A unique string that identifies the request and that allows failed CreateService requests to be retried without the risk of executing the operation twice. CreatorRequestId can be any unique string, for example, a date/time stamp.

This field is autopopulated if not provided.

type Description

string

param Description

A description for the service.

type DnsConfig

dict

param DnsConfig

A complex type that contains information about the Amazon Route 53 records that you want AWS Cloud Map to create when you register an instance.

  • NamespaceId (string) --

    The ID of the namespace to use for DNS configuration.

  • RoutingPolicy (string) --

    The routing policy that you want to apply to all Route 53 DNS records that AWS Cloud Map creates when you register an instance and specify this service.

    Note

    If you want to use this service to register instances that create alias records, specify WEIGHTED for the routing policy.

    You can specify the following values:

    MULTIVALUE

    If you define a health check for the service and the health check is healthy, Route 53 returns the applicable value for up to eight instances.

    For example, suppose the service includes configurations for one A record and a health check, and you use the service to register 10 instances. Route 53 responds to DNS queries with IP addresses for up to eight healthy instances. If fewer than eight instances are healthy, Route 53 responds to every DNS query with the IP addresses for all of the healthy instances.

    If you don't define a health check for the service, Route 53 assumes that all instances are healthy and returns the values for up to eight instances.

    For more information about the multivalue routing policy, see Multivalue Answer Routing in the Route 53 Developer Guide .

    WEIGHTED

    Route 53 returns the applicable value from one randomly selected instance from among the instances that you registered using the same service. Currently, all records have the same weight, so you can't route more or less traffic to any instances.

    For example, suppose the service includes configurations for one A record and a health check, and you use the service to register 10 instances. Route 53 responds to DNS queries with the IP address for one randomly selected instance from among the healthy instances. If no instances are healthy, Route 53 responds to DNS queries as if all of the instances were healthy.

    If you don't define a health check for the service, Route 53 assumes that all instances are healthy and returns the applicable value for one randomly selected instance.

    For more information about the weighted routing policy, see Weighted Routing in the Route 53 Developer Guide .

  • DnsRecords (list) -- [REQUIRED]

    An array that contains one DnsRecord object for each Route 53 DNS record that you want AWS Cloud Map to create when you register an instance.

    • (dict) --

      A complex type that contains information about the Route 53 DNS records that you want AWS Cloud Map to create when you register an instance.

      • Type (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The type of the resource, which indicates the type of value that Route 53 returns in response to DNS queries. You can specify values for Type in the following combinations:

        • A

        • AAAA

        • A and AAAA

        • SRV

        • CNAME

        If you want AWS Cloud Map to create a Route 53 alias record when you register an instance, specify A or AAAA for Type .

        You specify other settings, such as the IP address for A and AAAA records, when you register an instance. For more information, see RegisterInstance.

        The following values are supported:

        A

        Route 53 returns the IP address of the resource in IPv4 format, such as 192.0.2.44.

        AAAA

        Route 53 returns the IP address of the resource in IPv6 format, such as 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:abcd:0001:2345.

        CNAME

        Route 53 returns the domain name of the resource, such as www.example.com. Note the following:

        • You specify the domain name that you want to route traffic to when you register an instance. For more information, see Attributes in the topic RegisterInstance.

        • You must specify WEIGHTED for the value of RoutingPolicy .

        • You can't specify both CNAME for Type and settings for HealthCheckConfig . If you do, the request will fail with an InvalidInput error.

        SRV

        Route 53 returns the value for an SRV record. The value for an SRV record uses the following values:

        priority weight port service-hostname

        Note the following about the values:

        • The values of priority and weight are both set to 1 and can't be changed.

        • The value of port comes from the value that you specify for the AWS_INSTANCE_PORT attribute when you submit a RegisterInstance request.

        • The value of service-hostname is a concatenation of the following values:

          • The value that you specify for InstanceId when you register an instance.

          • The name of the service.

          • The name of the namespace.

        For example, if the value of InstanceId is test , the name of the service is backend , and the name of the namespace is example.com , the value of service-hostname is:

        test.backend.example.com

        If you specify settings for an SRV record, note the following:

        • If you specify values for AWS_INSTANCE_IPV4 , AWS_INSTANCE_IPV6 , or both in the RegisterInstance request, AWS Cloud Map automatically creates A and/or AAAA records that have the same name as the value of service-hostname in the SRV record. You can ignore these records.

        • If you're using a system that requires a specific SRV format, such as HAProxy, see the Name element in the documentation about CreateService for information about how to specify the correct name format.

      • TTL (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

        The amount of time, in seconds, that you want DNS resolvers to cache the settings for this record.

        Note

        Alias records don't include a TTL because Route 53 uses the TTL for the AWS resource that an alias record routes traffic to. If you include the AWS_ALIAS_DNS_NAME attribute when you submit a RegisterInstance request, the TTL value is ignored. Always specify a TTL for the service; you can use a service to register instances that create either alias or non-alias records.

type HealthCheckConfig

dict

param HealthCheckConfig

Public DNS and HTTP namespaces only. A complex type that contains settings for an optional Route 53 health check. If you specify settings for a health check, AWS Cloud Map associates the health check with all the Route 53 DNS records that you specify in DnsConfig .

Warning

If you specify a health check configuration, you can specify either HealthCheckCustomConfig or HealthCheckConfig but not both.

For information about the charges for health checks, see AWS Cloud Map Pricing.

  • Type (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The type of health check that you want to create, which indicates how Route 53 determines whether an endpoint is healthy.

    Warning

    You can't change the value of Type after you create a health check.

    You can create the following types of health checks:

    • HTTP : Route 53 tries to establish a TCP connection. If successful, Route 53 submits an HTTP request and waits for an HTTP status code of 200 or greater and less than 400.

    • HTTPS : Route 53 tries to establish a TCP connection. If successful, Route 53 submits an HTTPS request and waits for an HTTP status code of 200 or greater and less than 400.

    Warning

    If you specify HTTPS for the value of Type , the endpoint must support TLS v1.0 or later.

    • TCP : Route 53 tries to establish a TCP connection. If you specify TCP for Type , don't specify a value for ResourcePath .

    For more information, see How Route 53 Determines Whether an Endpoint Is Healthy in the Route 53 Developer Guide .

  • ResourcePath (string) --

    The path that you want Route 53 to request when performing health checks. The path can be any value for which your endpoint will return an HTTP status code of 2xx or 3xx when the endpoint is healthy, such as the file /docs/route53-health-check.html . Route 53 automatically adds the DNS name for the service. If you don't specify a value for ResourcePath , the default value is / .

    If you specify TCP for Type , you must not specify a value for ResourcePath .

  • FailureThreshold (integer) --

    The number of consecutive health checks that an endpoint must pass or fail for Route 53 to change the current status of the endpoint from unhealthy to healthy or vice versa. For more information, see How Route 53 Determines Whether an Endpoint Is Healthy in the Route 53 Developer Guide .

type HealthCheckCustomConfig

dict

param HealthCheckCustomConfig

A complex type that contains information about an optional custom health check.

Warning

If you specify a health check configuration, you can specify either HealthCheckCustomConfig or HealthCheckConfig but not both.

You can't add, update, or delete a HealthCheckCustomConfig configuration from an existing service.

  • FailureThreshold (integer) --

    Warning

    This parameter has been deprecated and is always set to 1. AWS Cloud Map waits for approximately 30 seconds after receiving an UpdateInstanceCustomHealthStatus request before changing the status of the service instance.

    The number of 30-second intervals that you want AWS Cloud Map to wait after receiving an UpdateInstanceCustomHealthStatus request before it changes the health status of a service instance.

    Sending a second or subsequent UpdateInstanceCustomHealthStatus request with the same value before 30 seconds has passed doesn't accelerate the change. AWS Cloud Map still waits 30 seconds after the first request to make the change.

type Tags

list

param Tags

The tags to add to the service. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define. Tag keys can have a maximum character length of 128 characters, and tag values can have a maximum length of 256 characters.

  • (dict) --

    A custom key-value pair associated with a resource.

    • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The key identifier, or name, of the tag.

    • Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The string value associated with the key of the tag. You can set the value of a tag to an empty string, but you can't set the value of a tag to null.

type Type

string

param Type

If present, specifies that the service instances are only discoverable using the DiscoverInstances API operation. No DNS records will be registered for the service instances. The only valid value is HTTP .

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • Service (dict) --

      A complex type that contains information about the service.

      • Id (string) --

        The ID that AWS Cloud Map assigned to the service when you created it.

      • Arn (string) --

        The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that AWS Cloud Map assigns to the service when you create it.

      • Name (string) --

        The name of the service.

      • NamespaceId (string) --

        The ID of the namespace that was used to create the service.

      • Description (string) --

        The description of the service.

      • InstanceCount (integer) --

        The number of instances that are currently associated with the service. Instances that were previously associated with the service but that have been deleted are not included in the count. The count might not reflect pending registrations and deregistrations.

      • DnsConfig (dict) --

        A complex type that contains information about the Route 53 DNS records that you want AWS Cloud Map to create when you register an instance.

        • NamespaceId (string) --

          The ID of the namespace to use for DNS configuration.

        • RoutingPolicy (string) --

          The routing policy that you want to apply to all Route 53 DNS records that AWS Cloud Map creates when you register an instance and specify this service.

          Note

          If you want to use this service to register instances that create alias records, specify WEIGHTED for the routing policy.

          You can specify the following values:

          MULTIVALUE

          If you define a health check for the service and the health check is healthy, Route 53 returns the applicable value for up to eight instances.

          For example, suppose the service includes configurations for one A record and a health check, and you use the service to register 10 instances. Route 53 responds to DNS queries with IP addresses for up to eight healthy instances. If fewer than eight instances are healthy, Route 53 responds to every DNS query with the IP addresses for all of the healthy instances.

          If you don't define a health check for the service, Route 53 assumes that all instances are healthy and returns the values for up to eight instances.

          For more information about the multivalue routing policy, see Multivalue Answer Routing in the Route 53 Developer Guide .

          WEIGHTED

          Route 53 returns the applicable value from one randomly selected instance from among the instances that you registered using the same service. Currently, all records have the same weight, so you can't route more or less traffic to any instances.

          For example, suppose the service includes configurations for one A record and a health check, and you use the service to register 10 instances. Route 53 responds to DNS queries with the IP address for one randomly selected instance from among the healthy instances. If no instances are healthy, Route 53 responds to DNS queries as if all of the instances were healthy.

          If you don't define a health check for the service, Route 53 assumes that all instances are healthy and returns the applicable value for one randomly selected instance.

          For more information about the weighted routing policy, see Weighted Routing in the Route 53 Developer Guide .

        • DnsRecords (list) --

          An array that contains one DnsRecord object for each Route 53 DNS record that you want AWS Cloud Map to create when you register an instance.

          • (dict) --

            A complex type that contains information about the Route 53 DNS records that you want AWS Cloud Map to create when you register an instance.

            • Type (string) --

              The type of the resource, which indicates the type of value that Route 53 returns in response to DNS queries. You can specify values for Type in the following combinations:

              • A

              • AAAA

              • A and AAAA

              • SRV

              • CNAME

              If you want AWS Cloud Map to create a Route 53 alias record when you register an instance, specify A or AAAA for Type .

              You specify other settings, such as the IP address for A and AAAA records, when you register an instance. For more information, see RegisterInstance.

              The following values are supported:

              A

              Route 53 returns the IP address of the resource in IPv4 format, such as 192.0.2.44.

              AAAA

              Route 53 returns the IP address of the resource in IPv6 format, such as 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:abcd:0001:2345.

              CNAME

              Route 53 returns the domain name of the resource, such as www.example.com. Note the following:

              • You specify the domain name that you want to route traffic to when you register an instance. For more information, see Attributes in the topic RegisterInstance.

              • You must specify WEIGHTED for the value of RoutingPolicy .

              • You can't specify both CNAME for Type and settings for HealthCheckConfig . If you do, the request will fail with an InvalidInput error.

              SRV

              Route 53 returns the value for an SRV record. The value for an SRV record uses the following values:

              priority weight port service-hostname

              Note the following about the values:

              • The values of priority and weight are both set to 1 and can't be changed.

              • The value of port comes from the value that you specify for the AWS_INSTANCE_PORT attribute when you submit a RegisterInstance request.

              • The value of service-hostname is a concatenation of the following values:

                • The value that you specify for InstanceId when you register an instance.

                • The name of the service.

                • The name of the namespace.

              For example, if the value of InstanceId is test , the name of the service is backend , and the name of the namespace is example.com , the value of service-hostname is:

              test.backend.example.com

              If you specify settings for an SRV record, note the following:

              • If you specify values for AWS_INSTANCE_IPV4 , AWS_INSTANCE_IPV6 , or both in the RegisterInstance request, AWS Cloud Map automatically creates A and/or AAAA records that have the same name as the value of service-hostname in the SRV record. You can ignore these records.

              • If you're using a system that requires a specific SRV format, such as HAProxy, see the Name element in the documentation about CreateService for information about how to specify the correct name format.

            • TTL (integer) --

              The amount of time, in seconds, that you want DNS resolvers to cache the settings for this record.

              Note

              Alias records don't include a TTL because Route 53 uses the TTL for the AWS resource that an alias record routes traffic to. If you include the AWS_ALIAS_DNS_NAME attribute when you submit a RegisterInstance request, the TTL value is ignored. Always specify a TTL for the service; you can use a service to register instances that create either alias or non-alias records.

      • Type (string) --

        Describes the systems that can be used to discover the service instances.

        DNS_HTTP

        The service instances can be discovered using either DNS queries or the DiscoverInstances API operation.

        HTTP

        The service instances can only be discovered using the DiscoverInstances API operation.

        DNS

        Reserved.

      • HealthCheckConfig (dict) --

        Public DNS and HTTP namespaces only. A complex type that contains settings for an optional health check. If you specify settings for a health check, AWS Cloud Map associates the health check with the records that you specify in DnsConfig .

        For information about the charges for health checks, see Amazon Route 53 Pricing.

        • Type (string) --

          The type of health check that you want to create, which indicates how Route 53 determines whether an endpoint is healthy.

          Warning

          You can't change the value of Type after you create a health check.

          You can create the following types of health checks:

          • HTTP : Route 53 tries to establish a TCP connection. If successful, Route 53 submits an HTTP request and waits for an HTTP status code of 200 or greater and less than 400.

          • HTTPS : Route 53 tries to establish a TCP connection. If successful, Route 53 submits an HTTPS request and waits for an HTTP status code of 200 or greater and less than 400.

          Warning

          If you specify HTTPS for the value of Type , the endpoint must support TLS v1.0 or later.

          • TCP : Route 53 tries to establish a TCP connection. If you specify TCP for Type , don't specify a value for ResourcePath .

          For more information, see How Route 53 Determines Whether an Endpoint Is Healthy in the Route 53 Developer Guide .

        • ResourcePath (string) --

          The path that you want Route 53 to request when performing health checks. The path can be any value for which your endpoint will return an HTTP status code of 2xx or 3xx when the endpoint is healthy, such as the file /docs/route53-health-check.html . Route 53 automatically adds the DNS name for the service. If you don't specify a value for ResourcePath , the default value is / .

          If you specify TCP for Type , you must not specify a value for ResourcePath .

        • FailureThreshold (integer) --

          The number of consecutive health checks that an endpoint must pass or fail for Route 53 to change the current status of the endpoint from unhealthy to healthy or vice versa. For more information, see How Route 53 Determines Whether an Endpoint Is Healthy in the Route 53 Developer Guide .

      • HealthCheckCustomConfig (dict) --

        A complex type that contains information about an optional custom health check.

        Warning

        If you specify a health check configuration, you can specify either HealthCheckCustomConfig or HealthCheckConfig but not both.

        • FailureThreshold (integer) --

          Warning

          This parameter has been deprecated and is always set to 1. AWS Cloud Map waits for approximately 30 seconds after receiving an UpdateInstanceCustomHealthStatus request before changing the status of the service instance.

          The number of 30-second intervals that you want AWS Cloud Map to wait after receiving an UpdateInstanceCustomHealthStatus request before it changes the health status of a service instance.

          Sending a second or subsequent UpdateInstanceCustomHealthStatus request with the same value before 30 seconds has passed doesn't accelerate the change. AWS Cloud Map still waits 30 seconds after the first request to make the change.

      • CreateDate (datetime) --

        The date and time that the service was created, in Unix format and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The value of CreateDate is accurate to milliseconds. For example, the value 1516925490.087 represents Friday, January 26, 2018 12:11:30.087 AM.

      • CreatorRequestId (string) --

        A unique string that identifies the request and that allows failed requests to be retried without the risk of executing the operation twice. CreatorRequestId can be any unique string, for example, a date/time stamp.

            Note

            If you want to use this service to register instances that create alias records, specify WEIGHTED for the routing policy.

            You can specify the following values:

            MULTIVALUE

            If you define a health check for the service and the health check is healthy, Route 53 returns the applicable value for up to eight instances.

            For example, suppose the service includes configurations for one A record and a health check, and you use the service to register 10 instances. Route 53 responds to DNS queries with IP addresses for up to eight healthy instances. If fewer than eight instances are healthy, Route 53 responds to every DNS query with the IP addresses for all of the healthy instances.

            If you don't define a health check for the service, Route 53 assumes that all instances are healthy and returns the values for up to eight instances.

            For more information about the multivalue routing policy, see Multivalue Answer Routing in the Route 53 Developer Guide .

            WEIGHTED

            Route 53 returns the applicable value from one randomly selected instance from among the instances that you registered using the same service. Currently, all records have the same weight, so you can't route more or less traffic to any instances.

            For example, suppose the service includes configurations for one A record and a health check, and you use the service to register 10 instances. Route 53 responds to DNS queries with the IP address for one randomly selected instance from among the healthy instances. If no instances are healthy, Route 53 responds to DNS queries as if all of the instances were healthy.

            If you don't define a health check for the service, Route 53 assumes that all instances are healthy and returns the applicable value for one randomly selected instance.

                Note

                Alias records don't include a TTL because Route 53 uses the TTL for the AWS resource that an alias record routes traffic to. If you include the AWS_ALIAS_DNS_NAME attribute when you submit a RegisterInstance request, the TTL value is ignored. Always specify a TTL for the service; you can use a service to register instances that create either alias or non-alias records.

        • HealthCheckConfig (dict) --

          Public DNS and HTTP namespaces only. A complex type that contains settings for an optional health check. If you specify settings for a health check, AWS Cloud Map associates the health check with the records that you specify in DnsConfig .

          Warning

          If you specify a health check configuration, you can specify either HealthCheckCustomConfig or HealthCheckConfig but not both.

          Health checks are basic Route 53 health checks that monitor an AWS endpoint. For information about pricing for health checks, see Amazon Route 53 Pricing.

          Note the following about configuring health checks.

          A and AAAA records

          If DnsConfig includes configurations for both A and AAAA records, AWS Cloud Map creates a health check that uses the IPv4 address to check the health of the resource. If the endpoint that is specified by the IPv4 address is unhealthy, Route 53 considers both the A and AAAA records to be unhealthy.

          CNAME records

          You can't specify settings for HealthCheckConfig when the DNSConfig includes CNAME for the value of Type . If you do, the CreateService request will fail with an InvalidInput error.

          Request interval

          A Route 53 health checker in each health-checking region sends a health check request to an endpoint every 30 seconds. On average, your endpoint receives a health check request about every two seconds. However, health checkers don't coordinate with one another, so you'll sometimes see several requests per second followed by a few seconds with no health checks at all.

          Health checking regions

          Health checkers perform checks from all Route 53 health-checking regions. For a list of the current regions, see Regions.

          Alias records

          When you register an instance, if you include the AWS_ALIAS_DNS_NAME attribute, AWS Cloud Map creates a Route 53 alias record. Note the following:

          • Route 53 automatically sets EvaluateTargetHealth to true for alias records. When EvaluateTargetHealth is true, the alias record inherits the health of the referenced AWS resource. such as an ELB load balancer. For more information, see EvaluateTargetHealth.

          • If you include HealthCheckConfig and then use the service to register an instance that creates an alias record, Route 53 doesn't create the health check.

          Charges for health checks

          Health checks are basic Route 53 health checks that monitor an AWS endpoint. For information about pricing for health checks, see Amazon Route 53 Pricing.

          • Type (string) --

            The type of health check that you want to create, which indicates how Route 53 determines whether an endpoint is healthy.

            Warning

            You can't change the value of Type after you create a health check.

            You can create the following types of health checks:

            • HTTP : Route 53 tries to establish a TCP connection. If successful, Route 53 submits an HTTP request and waits for an HTTP status code of 200 or greater and less than 400.

            • HTTPS : Route 53 tries to establish a TCP connection. If successful, Route 53 submits an HTTPS request and waits for an HTTP status code of 200 or greater and less than 400.

            Warning

            If you specify HTTPS for the value of Type , the endpoint must support TLS v1.0 or later.

            • TCP : Route 53 tries to establish a TCP connection. If you specify TCP for Type , don't specify a value for ResourcePath .

            For more information, see How Route 53 Determines Whether an Endpoint Is Healthy in the Route 53 Developer Guide .

          • ResourcePath (string) --

            The path that you want Route 53 to request when performing health checks. The path can be any value for which your endpoint will return an HTTP status code of 2xx or 3xx when the endpoint is healthy, such as the file /docs/route53-health-check.html . Route 53 automatically adds the DNS name for the service. If you don't specify a value for ResourcePath , the default value is / .

            If you specify TCP for Type , you must not specify a value for ResourcePath .

          • FailureThreshold (integer) --

            The number of consecutive health checks that an endpoint must pass or fail for Route 53 to change the current status of the endpoint from unhealthy to healthy or vice versa. For more information, see How Route 53 Determines Whether an Endpoint Is Healthy in the Route 53 Developer Guide .

        • HealthCheckCustomConfig (dict) --

          A complex type that contains information about an optional custom health check. A custom health check, which requires that you use a third-party health checker to evaluate the health of your resources, is useful in the following circumstances:

          • You can't use a health check that is defined by HealthCheckConfig because the resource isn't available over the internet. For example, you can use a custom health check when the instance is in an Amazon VPC. (To check the health of resources in a VPC, the health checker must also be in the VPC.)

          • You want to use a third-party health checker regardless of where your resources are.

          Warning

          If you specify a health check configuration, you can specify either HealthCheckCustomConfig or HealthCheckConfig but not both.

          To change the status of a custom health check, submit an UpdateInstanceCustomHealthStatus request. AWS Cloud Map doesn't monitor the status of the resource, it just keeps a record of the status specified in the most recent UpdateInstanceCustomHealthStatus request.

          Here's how custom health checks work:

          • You create a service and specify a value for FailureThreshold . The failure threshold indicates the number of 30-second intervals you want AWS Cloud Map to wait between the time that your application sends an UpdateInstanceCustomHealthStatus request and the time that AWS Cloud Map stops routing internet traffic to the corresponding resource.

          • You register an instance.

          • You configure a third-party health checker to monitor the resource that is associated with the new instance.

          Note

          AWS Cloud Map doesn't check the health of the resource directly.

          • The third-party health-checker determines that the resource is unhealthy and notifies your application.

          • Your application submits an UpdateInstanceCustomHealthStatus request.

          • AWS Cloud Map waits for ( FailureThreshold x 30) seconds.

          • If another UpdateInstanceCustomHealthStatus request doesn't arrive during that time to change the status back to healthy, AWS Cloud Map stops routing traffic to the resource.

          • FailureThreshold (integer) --

            Warning

            This parameter has been deprecated and is always set to 1. AWS Cloud Map waits for approximately 30 seconds after receiving an UpdateInstanceCustomHealthStatus request before changing the status of the service instance.

            The number of 30-second intervals that you want AWS Cloud Map to wait after receiving an UpdateInstanceCustomHealthStatus request before it changes the health status of a service instance.

            Sending a second or subsequent UpdateInstanceCustomHealthStatus request with the same value before 30 seconds has passed doesn't accelerate the change. AWS Cloud Map still waits 30 seconds after the first request to make the change.

        • CreateDate (datetime) --

          The date and time that the service was created.

    • NextToken (string) --

      If the response contains NextToken , submit another ListServices request to get the next group of results. Specify the value of NextToken from the previous response in the next request.

      Note

      AWS Cloud Map gets MaxResults services and then filters them based on the specified criteria. It's possible that no services in the first MaxResults services matched the specified criteria but that subsequent groups of MaxResults services do contain services that match the criteria.
