Request Syntax

client.create_maintenance_window(
    Name='string',
    Description='string',
    StartDate='string',
    EndDate='string',
    Schedule='string',
    ScheduleTimezone='string',

        },
    ]
)
type Name:

string

param Name:

[REQUIRED]

The name of the maintenance window.

type Description:

string

param Description:

An optional description for the maintenance window. We recommend specifying a description to help you organize your maintenance windows.

type StartDate:

string

param StartDate:

The date and time, in ISO-8601 Extended format, for when you want the maintenance window to become active. StartDate allows you to delay activation of the maintenance window until the specified future date.

type EndDate:

string

param EndDate:

The date and time, in ISO-8601 Extended format, for when you want the maintenance window to become inactive. EndDate allows you to set a date and time in the future when the maintenance window will no longer run.

type Schedule:

string

param Schedule:

[REQUIRED]

The schedule of the maintenance window in the form of a cron or rate expression.

type ScheduleTimezone:

string

param ScheduleTimezone:

The time zone that the scheduled maintenance window executions are based on, in Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) format. For example: "America/Los_Angeles", "etc/UTC", or "Asia/Seoul". For more information, see the Time Zone Database on the IANA website.

type ScheduleOffset:

integer

param ScheduleOffset:

The number of days to wait after the date and time specified by a CRON expression before running the maintenance window.

For example, the following cron expression schedules a maintenance window to run on the third Tuesday of every month at 11:30 PM.

cron(0 30 23 ? * TUE#3 *)

If the schedule offset is 2, the maintenance window won't run until two days later.

type Duration:

integer

param Duration:

[REQUIRED]

The duration of the maintenance window in hours.

type Cutoff:

integer

param Cutoff:

[REQUIRED]

The number of hours before the end of the maintenance window that Systems Manager stops scheduling new tasks for execution.

type AllowUnassociatedTargets:

boolean

param AllowUnassociatedTargets:

[REQUIRED]

Enables a maintenance window task to run on managed instances, even if you have not registered those instances as targets. If enabled, then you must specify the unregistered instances (by instance ID) when you register a task with the maintenance window.

If you don't enable this option, then you must specify previously-registered targets when you register a task with the maintenance window.

type ClientToken:

string

param ClientToken:

User-provided idempotency token.

This field is autopopulated if not provided.

type Tags:

list

param Tags:

Optional metadata that you assign to a resource. Tags enable you to categorize a resource in different ways, such as by purpose, owner, or environment. For example, you might want to tag a maintenance window to identify the type of tasks it will run, the types of targets, and the environment it will run in. In this case, you could specify the following key name/value pairs:

  • Key=TaskType,Value=AgentUpdate

  • Key=OS,Value=Windows

  • Key=Environment,Value=Production

  • (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.

    • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The name of the tag.

    • Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The value of the tag.

rtype:

dict
