    ],
    EnvironmentNames=[
        'string',
    ],
    IncludeDeleted=True|False,
    IncludedDeletedBackTo=datetime(2015, 1, 1),

    If specified, AWS Elastic Beanstalk restricts the returned descriptions to include only those that have the specified names.

    • (string) --
  • IncludeDeleted (boolean) --

    Indicates whether to include deleted environments:

    true : Environments that have been deleted after IncludedDeletedBackTo are displayed.

    false : Do not include deleted environments.

  • IncludedDeletedBackTo (datetime) -- If specified when IncludeDeleted is set to true , then environments deleted after this date are displayed.
  • MaxRecords (integer) --

    For a paginated request. Specify a maximum number of environments to include in each response.

    If no MaxRecords is specified, all available environments are retrieved in a single response.

  • NextToken (string) --
