Options
--service-arns (list)
The ARN that identifies the Amazon ECS service.
The following is the format of the ARN:
arn:aws:ecs:region:aws_account_id:service/cluster-name/service-name(string)
Syntax:
"string" "string" ...
--next-token (string)
--max-results (integer)
The maximum number of Amazon ECS service recommendations to return with a single request.
To retrieve the remaining results, make another request with the returned nextToken value.
--filters (list)
An array of objects to specify a filter that returns a more specific list of Amazon ECS service recommendations.
(structure)
Describes a filter that returns a more specific list of Amazon ECS service recommendations. Use this filter with the GetECSServiceRecommendations action.
name -> (string)
The name of the filter.
Specify Finding to return recommendations with a specific finding classification.
Specify FindingReasonCode to return recommendations with a specific finding reason code.
You can filter your Amazon ECS service recommendations by tag:key and tag-key tags.
A tag:key is a key and value combination of a tag assigned to your Amazon ECS service recommendations. Use the tag key in the filter name and the tag value as the filter value. For example, to find all Amazon ECS service recommendations that have a tag with the key of Owner and the value of TeamA , specify tag:Owner for the filter name and TeamA for the filter value.
A tag-key is the key of a tag assigned to your Amazon ECS service recommendations. Use this filter to find all of your Amazon ECS service recommendations that have a tag with a specific key. This doesn’t consider the tag value. For example, you can find your Amazon ECS service recommendations with a tag key value of Owner or without any tag keys assigned.
values -> (list)
The value of the filter.
The valid values for this parameter are as follows:
- If you specify the
nameparameter asFinding, specifyOptimized,Underprovisioned, orOverprovisioned. - If you specify the
nameparameter asFindingReasonCode, specifyCPUUnderprovisioned,CPUOverprovisioned,MemoryUnderprovisioned, orMemoryOverprovisioned.
(string)
Shorthand Syntax:
name=string,values=string,string ...
JSON Syntax:
[
{
"name": "Finding"|"FindingReasonCode",
"values": ["string", ...]
}
...
]
--account-ids (list)
Return the Amazon ECS service recommendations to the specified Amazon Web Services account IDs.
If your account is the management account or the delegated administrator of an organization, use this parameter to return the Amazon ECS service recommendations to specific member accounts.
You can only specify one account ID per request.
(string)
Syntax:
"string" "string" ...
--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.
--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.
Global Options
--debug (boolean)
Turn on debug logging.
--endpoint-url (string)
Override command’s default URL with the given URL.
--no-verify-ssl (boolean)
By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.
--no-paginate (boolean)
Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.
--output (string)
The formatting style for command output.
- json
- text
- table
- yaml
- yaml-stream
--query (string)
A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.
--profile (string)
Use a specific profile from your credential file.
--region (string)
The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.
--version (string)
Display the version of this tool.
--color (string)
Turn on/off color output.
- on
- off
- auto
--no-sign-request (boolean)
Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.
--ca-bundle (string)
The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.
--cli-read-timeout (int)
The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-connect-timeout (int)
The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-binary-format (string)
The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.
- base64
- raw-in-base64-out
--no-cli-pager (boolean)
Disable cli pager for output.
--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)
Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)
