create-association-batch
Description
Associates the specified Amazon Web Services Systems Manager document (SSM document) with the specified managed nodes or targets.
When you associate a document with one or more managed nodes using IDs or tags, Amazon Web Services Systems Manager Agent (SSM Agent) running on the managed node processes the document and configures the node as specified.
If you associate a document with a managed node that already has an associated document, the system returns the AssociationAlreadyExists exception.

Options
--entries (list)
One or more associations.
(structure)
Describes the association of a Amazon Web Services Systems Manager document (SSM document) and a managed node.
Name -> (string)
The name of the SSM document that contains the configuration information for the managed node. You can specify Command or Automation runbooks.
You can specify Amazon Web Services-predefined documents, documents you created, or a document that is shared with you from another account.
For SSM documents that are shared with you from other Amazon Web Services accounts, you must specify the complete SSM document ARN, in the following format:
For example:
arn:aws:ssm:us-east-2:12345678912:document/My-Shared-DocumentFor Amazon Web Services-predefined documents and SSM documents you created in your account, you only need to specify the document name. For example, AWS-ApplyPatchBaseline or My-Document .
InstanceId -> (string)
The managed node ID.
Note
InstanceId has been deprecated. To specify a managed node ID for an association, use the Targets parameter. Requests that include the parameter InstanceID with Systems Manager documents (SSM documents) that use schema version 2.0 or later will fail. In addition, if you use the parameter InstanceId , you can’t use the parameters AssociationName , DocumentVersion , MaxErrors , MaxConcurrency , OutputLocation , or ScheduleExpression . To use these parameters, you must use the Targets parameter.Parameters -> (map)
A description of the parameters for a document.
key -> (string)
value -> (list)
AutomationTargetParameterName -> (string)
DocumentVersion -> (string)
Targets -> (list)
The managed nodes targeted by the request.
(structure)
An array of search criteria that targets managed nodes using a key-value pair that you specify.
Note
One or more targets must be specified for maintenance window Run Command-type tasks. Depending on the task, targets are optional for other maintenance window task types (Automation, Lambda, and Step Functions). For more information about running tasks that don’t specify targets, see Registering maintenance window tasks without targets in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .Supported formats include the following.
Key=tag-key,Values=tag-value-1,tag-value-2
Key=tag:tag-key,Values=tag-valueKey=ResourceGroup,Values=resource-group-nameKey=ParameterValues,Values=value-1,value-2,value-3- To target all instances in the Amazon Web Services Region:
Key=AWS::EC2::Instance,Values=*Key=InstanceIds,Values=*
Key=InstanceIds,Values=instance-id-1,instance-id-2,instance-id-3Key=tag:tag-key,Values=tag-value-1,tag-value-2Key=resource-groups:Name,Values=resource-group-name- Additionally, Maintenance Windows support targeting resource types:
Key=resource-groups:ResourceTypeFilters,Values=resource-type-1,resource-type-2
Key=InstanceIds,Values=instance-id-1,instance-id-2,instance-id-3Key=tag:tag-key,Values=tag-value-1,tag-value-2- To target all instances in the Amazon Web Services Region:
Key=InstanceIds,Values=*
For more information about how to send commands that target managed nodes using Key,Value parameters, see Targeting multiple managed nodes in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .
Key -> (string)
Values -> (list)
User-defined criteria that maps to Key . For example, if you specified tag:ServerRole , you could specify value:WebServer to run a command on instances that include EC2 tags of ServerRole,WebServer .
Depending on the type of target, the maximum number of values for a key might be lower than the global maximum of 50.
(string)
ScheduleExpression -> (string)
OutputLocation -> (structure)
An S3 bucket where you want to store the results of this request.
S3Location -> (structure)
An S3 bucket where you want to store the results of this request.
OutputS3Region -> (string)
OutputS3BucketName -> (string)
OutputS3KeyPrefix -> (string)
AssociationName -> (string)
MaxErrors -> (string)
The number of errors that are allowed before the system stops sending requests to run the association on additional targets. You can specify either an absolute number of errors, for example 10, or a percentage of the target set, for example 10%. If you specify 3, for example, the system stops sending requests when the fourth error is received. If you specify 0, then the system stops sending requests after the first error is returned. If you run an association on 50 managed nodes and set MaxError to 10%, then the system stops sending the request when the sixth error is received.
Executions that are already running an association when MaxErrors is reached are allowed to complete, but some of these executions may fail as well. If you need to ensure that there won’t be more than max-errors failed executions, set MaxConcurrency to 1 so that executions proceed one at a time.
MaxConcurrency -> (string)
The maximum number of targets allowed to run the association at the same time. You can specify a number, for example 10, or a percentage of the target set, for example 10%. The default value is 100%, which means all targets run the association at the same time.
If a new managed node starts and attempts to run an association while Systems Manager is running MaxConcurrency associations, the association is allowed to run. During the next association interval, the new managed node will process its association within the limit specified for MaxConcurrency .
ComplianceSeverity -> (string)
SyncCompliance -> (string)
The mode for generating association compliance. You can specify AUTO or MANUAL . In AUTO mode, the system uses the status of the association execution to determine the compliance status. If the association execution runs successfully, then the association is COMPLIANT . If the association execution doesn’t run successfully, the association is NON-COMPLIANT .
In MANUAL mode, you must specify the AssociationId as a parameter for the PutComplianceItems API operation. In this case, compliance data isn’t managed by State Manager, a tool in Amazon Web Services Systems Manager. It is managed by your direct call to the PutComplianceItems API operation.
By default, all associations use AUTO mode.
ApplyOnlyAtCronInterval -> (boolean)
By default, when you create a new association, the system runs it immediately after it is created and then according to the schedule you specified and when target changes are detected. Specify true for ApplyOnlyAtCronInterval if you want the association to run only according to the schedule you specified.
For more information, see Understanding when associations are applied to resources and >About target updates with Automation runbooks in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .
This parameter isn’t supported for rate expressions.
CalendarNames -> (list)
The names or Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the Change Calendar type documents your associations are gated under. The associations only run when that Change Calendar is open. For more information, see Amazon Web Services Systems Manager Change Calendar in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .

This Targets parameter takes precedence over the StartAutomationExecution:Targets parameter if both are supplied.
(structure)
An array of search criteria that targets managed nodes using a key-value pair that you specify.
Note
One or more targets must be specified for maintenance window Run Command-type tasks. Depending on the task, targets are optional for other maintenance window task types (Automation, Lambda, and Step Functions). For more information about running tasks that don’t specify targets, see Registering maintenance window tasks without targets in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .Supported formats include the following.

TargetsMaxErrors parameter takes precedence over the StartAutomationExecution:MaxErrors parameter if both are supplied.ScheduleOffset -> (integer)
Duration -> (integer)
The number of hours the association can run before it is canceled. Duration applies to associations that are currently running, and any pending and in progress commands on all targets. If a target was taken offline for the association to run, it is made available again immediately, without a reboot.
The Duration parameter applies only when both these conditions are true:
- The association for which you specify a duration is cancelable according to the parameters of the SSM command document or Automation runbook associated with this execution.
- The command specifies the `` ApplyOnlyAtCronInterval `` parameter, which means that the association doesn’t run immediately after it is created, but only according to the specified schedule.

--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 multiple associations
This example associates a configuration document with multiple instances. The output returns a list of successful and failed operations, if applicable.

MaxErrors -> (string)
The number of errors that are allowed before the system stops sending requests to run the association on additional targets. You can specify either an absolute number of errors, for example 10, or a percentage of the target set, for example 10%. If you specify 3, for example, the system stops sending requests when the fourth error is received. If you specify 0, then the system stops sending requests after the first error is returned. If you run an association on 50 managed nodes and set MaxError to 10%, then the system stops sending the request when the sixth error is received.
Executions that are already running an association when MaxErrors is reached are allowed to complete, but some of these executions may fail as well. If you need to ensure that there won’t be more than max-errors failed executions, set MaxConcurrency to 1 so that executions proceed one at a time.
MaxConcurrency -> (string)
The maximum number of targets allowed to run the association at the same time. You can specify a number, for example 10, or a percentage of the target set, for example 10%. The default value is 100%, which means all targets run the association at the same time.
If a new managed node starts and attempts to run an association while Systems Manager is running MaxConcurrency associations, the association is allowed to run. During the next association interval, the new managed node will process its association within the limit specified for MaxConcurrency .
ComplianceSeverity -> (string)
SyncCompliance -> (string)
The mode for generating association compliance. You can specify AUTO or MANUAL . In AUTO mode, the system uses the status of the association execution to determine the compliance status. If the association execution runs successfully, then the association is COMPLIANT . If the association execution doesn’t run successfully, the association is NON-COMPLIANT .
In MANUAL mode, you must specify the AssociationId as a parameter for the PutComplianceItems API operation. In this case, compliance data isn’t managed by State Manager, a tool in Amazon Web Services Systems Manager. It is managed by your direct call to the PutComplianceItems API operation.
By default, all associations use AUTO mode.
ApplyOnlyAtCronInterval -> (boolean)
CalendarNames -> (list)

InstanceId has been deprecated. To specify a managed node ID for an association, use the Targets parameter. Requests that include the parameter InstanceID with Systems Manager documents (SSM documents) that use schema version 2.0 or later will fail. In addition, if you use the parameter InstanceId , you can’t use the parameters AssociationName , DocumentVersion , MaxErrors , MaxConcurrency , OutputLocation , or ScheduleExpression . To use these parameters, you must use the Targets parameter.Parameters -> (map)
A description of the parameters for a document.
key -> (string)
value -> (list)
AutomationTargetParameterName -> (string)
DocumentVersion -> (string)
Targets -> (list)
The managed nodes targeted by the request.
(structure)
An array of search criteria that targets managed nodes using a key-value pair that you specify.
Note
One or more targets must be specified for maintenance window Run Command-type tasks. Depending on the task, targets are optional for other maintenance window task types (Automation, Lambda, and Step Functions). For more information about running tasks that don’t specify targets, see Registering maintenance window tasks without targets in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .Supported formats include the following.

Key -> (string)
Values -> (list)
User-defined criteria that maps to Key . For example, if you specified tag:ServerRole , you could specify value:WebServer to run a command on instances that include EC2 tags of ServerRole,WebServer .
Depending on the type of target, the maximum number of values for a key might be lower than the global maximum of 50.
(string)
ScheduleExpression -> (string)
OutputLocation -> (structure)
An S3 bucket where you want to store the results of this request.
S3Location -> (structure)
An S3 bucket where you want to store the results of this request.
OutputS3Region -> (string)
OutputS3BucketName -> (string)
OutputS3KeyPrefix -> (string)
AssociationName -> (string)
MaxErrors -> (string)
The number of errors that are allowed before the system stops sending requests to run the association on additional targets. You can specify either an absolute number of errors, for example 10, or a percentage of the target set, for example 10%. If you specify 3, for example, the system stops sending requests when the fourth error is received. If you specify 0, then the system stops sending requests after the first error is returned. If you run an association on 50 managed nodes and set MaxError to 10%, then the system stops sending the request when the sixth error is received.
Executions that are already running an association when MaxErrors is reached are allowed to complete, but some of these executions may fail as well. If you need to ensure that there won’t be more than max-errors failed executions, set MaxConcurrency to 1 so that executions proceed one at a time.
MaxConcurrency -> (string)
The maximum number of targets allowed to run the association at the same time. You can specify a number, for example 10, or a percentage of the target set, for example 10%. The default value is 100%, which means all targets run the association at the same time.
If a new managed node starts and attempts to run an association while Systems Manager is running MaxConcurrency associations, the association is allowed to run. During the next association interval, the new managed node will process its association within the limit specified for MaxConcurrency .
ComplianceSeverity -> (string)
SyncCompliance -> (string)
The mode for generating association compliance. You can specify AUTO or MANUAL . In AUTO mode, the system uses the status of the association execution to determine the compliance status. If the association execution runs successfully, then the association is COMPLIANT . If the association execution doesn’t run successfully, the association is NON-COMPLIANT .
In MANUAL mode, you must specify the AssociationId as a parameter for the PutComplianceItems API operation. In this case, compliance data isn’t managed by State Manager, a tool in Amazon Web Services Systems Manager. It is managed by your direct call to the PutComplianceItems API operation.
By default, all associations use AUTO mode.
ApplyOnlyAtCronInterval -> (boolean)
By default, when you create a new association, the system runs it immediately after it is created and then according to the schedule you specified and when target changes are detected. Specify true for ApplyOnlyAtCronInterval if you want the association to run only according to the schedule you specified.
For more information, see Understanding when associations are applied to resources and >About target updates with Automation runbooks in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .
This parameter isn’t supported for rate expressions.
CalendarNames -> (list)
The names or Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the Change Calendar type documents your associations are gated under. The associations only run when that Change Calendar is open. For more information, see Amazon Web Services Systems Manager Change Calendar in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .
(string)
TargetLocations -> (list)

A list of key-value mappings to target resources. If you specify values for this data type, you must also specify a value for TargetParameterName .
This Targets parameter takes precedence over the StartAutomationExecution:Targets parameter if both are supplied.
(structure)
An array of search criteria that targets managed nodes using a key-value pair that you specify.
Note
One or more targets must be specified for maintenance window Run Command-type tasks. Depending on the task, targets are optional for other maintenance window task types (Automation, Lambda, and Step Functions).

(string)
TargetsMaxConcurrency -> (string)
TargetsMaxConcurrency takes precedence over the StartAutomationExecution:MaxConcurrency parameter if both are supplied.TargetsMaxErrors -> (string)
TargetsMaxErrors parameter takes precedence over the StartAutomationExecution:MaxErrors parameter if both are supplied.ScheduleOffset -> (integer)
Duration -> (integer)
The number of hours the association can run before it is canceled. Duration applies to associations that are currently running, and any pending and in progress commands on all targets. If a target was taken offline for the association to run, it is made available again immediately, without a reboot.
The Duration parameter applies only when both these conditions are true:
- The association for which you specify a duration is cancelable according to the parameters of the SSM command document or Automation runbook associated with this execution.
- The command specifies the `` ApplyOnlyAtCronInterval `` parameter, which means that the association doesn’t run immediately after it is created, but only according to the specified schedule.
