create-application-version
Description
Creates an application version for the specified application. You can create an application version from a source bundle in Amazon S3, a commit in AWS CodeCommit, or the output of an AWS CodeBuild build as follows:
Specify a commit in an AWS CodeCommit repository with SourceBuildInformation .
Specify a build in an AWS CodeBuild with SourceBuildInformation and BuildConfiguration .
Specify a source bundle in S3 with SourceBundle
Omit both SourceBuildInformation and SourceBundle to use the default sample application.
Note
After you create an application version with a specified Amazon S3 bucket and key location, you can’t change that Amazon S3 location. If you change the Amazon S3 location, you receive an exception when you attempt to launch an environment from the application version.See also: AWS API Documentation

Options
--application-name (string)
AutoCreateApplication is false , returns an InvalidParameterValue error.--version-label (string)
A label identifying this version.
Constraint: Must be unique per application. If an application version already exists with this label for the specified application, AWS Elastic Beanstalk returns an InvalidParameterValue error.
--description (string)
--source-build-information (structure)
Specify a commit in an AWS CodeCommit Git repository to use as the source code for the application version.
SourceType -> (string)
The type of repository.
GitZip
SourceRepository -> (string)
Location where the repository is stored.
CodeCommitS3
SourceLocation -> (string)
The location of the source code, as a formatted string, depending on the value of SourceRepository
- For
CodeCommit, the format is the repository name and commit ID, separated by a forward slash. For example,my-git-repo/265cfa0cf6af46153527f55d6503ec030551f57a. - For
S3, the format is the S3 bucket name and object key, separated by a forward slash. For example,my-s3-bucket/Folders/my-source-file.

"SourceRepository": "CodeCommit"|"S3",
"SourceLocation": "string"
}
--source-bundle (structure)
The Amazon S3 bucket and key that identify the location of the source bundle for this version.
Note
The Amazon S3 bucket must be in the same region as the environment.Specify a source bundle in S3 or a commit in an AWS CodeCommit repository (with SourceBuildInformation ), but not both. If neither SourceBundle nor SourceBuildInformation are provided, Elastic Beanstalk uses a sample application.
S3Bucket -> (string)
S3Key -> (string)
Shorthand Syntax:
S3Bucket=string,S3Key=string
JSON Syntax:

}
--auto-create-application | --no-auto-create-application (boolean)
true to create an application with the specified name if it doesn’t already exist.--process | --no-process (boolean)
Pre-processes and validates the environment manifest (env.yaml ) and configuration files (*.config files in the .ebextensions folder) in the source bundle. Validating configuration files can identify issues prior to deploying the application version to an environment.
You must turn processing on for application versions that you create using AWS CodeBuild or AWS CodeCommit. For application versions built from a source bundle in Amazon S3, processing is optional.
Note
TheProcess option validates Elastic Beanstalk configuration files. It doesn’t validate your application’s configuration files, like proxy server or Docker configuration.--tags (list)
Specifies the tags applied to the application version.
Elastic Beanstalk applies these tags only to the application version. Environments that use the application version don’t inherit the tags.
(structure)
Describes a tag applied to a resource in an environment.
Key -> (string)
Value -> (string)
Shorthand Syntax:
Key=string,Value=string ...
JSON Syntax:
[
{
"Key": "string",
"Value": "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)
Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
Examples
Note
To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.
Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .
To create a new application version
The following command creates a new version, “v1” of an application named “MyApp”:
aws elasticbeanstalk create-application-version --application-name MyApp --version-label v1 --description MyAppv1 --source-bundle S3Bucket="amzn-s3-demo-bucket",S3Key="sample.war" --auto-create-application
The application will be created automatically if it does not already exist, due to the auto-create-application option. The source bundle is a .war file stored in an s3 bucket named “amzn-s3-demo-bucket” that contains the Apache Tomcat sample application.
Output:
{
"ApplicationVersion": {
"ApplicationName": "MyApp",
"VersionLabel": "v1",
"Description": "MyAppv1",
"DateCreated": "2015-02-03T23:01:25.412Z",
"DateUpdated": "2015-02-03T23:01:25.412Z",
"SourceBundle": {
"S3Bucket": "amzn-s3-demo-bucket",
"S3Key": "sample.war"
}
}
}
