      • ResponseCode (string) –

        The response code returned by the execution of the step.

      • Inputs (dict) –

        Fully-resolved values passed into the step before execution.

        • (string) –

          • (string) –

      • FailureDetails (dict) –

        Information about the Automation failure.

        • FailureStage (string) –

          The stage of the Automation execution when the failure occurred. The stages include the following: InputValidation, PreVerification, Invocation, PostVerification.

        • FailureType (string) –

          The type of Automation failure. Failure types include the following: Action, Permission, Throttling, Verification, Internal.

        • Details (dict) –

      • StepExecutionId (string) –

        The unique ID of a step execution.

      • OverriddenParameters (dict) –

      • ValidNextSteps (list) –

        Strategies used when step fails, we support Continue and Abort. Abort will fail the automation when the step fails. Continue will ignore the failure of current step and allow automation to run the next step. With conditional branching, we add step:stepName to support the automation to go to another specific step.

        • (string) –

      • Targets (list) –

        The targets for the step execution.

        • (dict) –

          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=InstanceIds,Values=<instance-id-1>,<instance-id-2>,<instance-id-3>

          • Key=tag:<my-tag-key>,Values=<my-tag-value-1>,<my-tag-value-2>

          • Key=tag-key,Values=<my-tag-key-1>,<my-tag-key-2>

          • Run Command and Maintenance window targets only: Key=resource-groups:Name,Values=<resource-group-name>

          • Maintenance window targets only: Key=resource-groups:ResourceTypeFilters,Values=<resource-type-1>,<resource-type-2>

          • Automation targets only: Key=ResourceGroup;Values=<resource-group-name>

          For example:

          • Key=InstanceIds,Values=i-02573cafcfEXAMPLE,i-0471e04240EXAMPLE,i-07782c72faEXAMPLE

          • Key=tag:CostCenter,Values=CostCenter1,CostCenter2,CostCenter3

          • Key=tag-key,Values=Name,Instance-Type,CostCenter

          • Run Command and Maintenance window targets only: Key=resource-groups:Name,Values=ProductionResourceGroup This example demonstrates how to target all resources in the resource group ProductionResourceGroup in your maintenance window.

          • Maintenance window targets only: Key=resource-groups:ResourceTypeFilters,Values=AWS::EC2::INSTANCE,AWS::EC2::VPC This example demonstrates how to target only Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances and VPCs in your maintenance window.

          • Automation targets only: Key=ResourceGroup,Values=MyResourceGroup

          • State Manager association targets only: Key=InstanceIds,Values=* This example demonstrates how to target all managed instances in the Amazon Web Services Region where the association was created.

          For more information about how to send commands that target managed nodes using Key,Value parameters, see Targeting multiple instances in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide.

          • Key (string) –

            User-defined criteria for sending commands that target managed nodes that meet the criteria.

          • 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) –

      • TargetLocation (dict) –

        The combination of Amazon Web Services Regions and Amazon Web Services accounts targeted by the current Automation execution.
