Request Syntax

response = client.update_alias(
    AliasId='string',
    Name='string',
    Description='string',
    RoutingStrategy={
        'Type': 'SIMPLE'|'TERMINAL',
        'FleetId': 'string',
        'Message': 'string'
    }
)

Parameters

AliasId (string) --
[REQUIRED]

A unique identifier for the alias that you want to update. You can use either the alias ID or ARN value.
Name (string) -- A descriptive label that is associated with an alias. Alias names do not need to be unique.
Description (string) -- A human-readable description of the alias.
RoutingStrategy (dict) --
The routing configuration, including routing type and fleet target, for the alias.
- Type (string) --
  The type of routing strategy for the alias.
  
  Possible routing types include the following:
  - SIMPLE - The alias resolves to one specific fleet. Use this type when routing to active fleets.
  - TERMINAL - The alias does not resolve to a fleet but instead can be used to display a message to the user. A terminal alias throws a TerminalRoutingStrategyException with the message embedded.
- FleetId (string) --
  A unique identifier for the fleet that the alias points to. This value is the fleet ID, not the fleet ARN.
- Message (string) --
  The message text to be used with a terminal routing strategy.
