Parameters

• description (string) -- A short text description of the tunnel.

  • services (list) -- [REQUIRED]

    A list of service names that identify the target application. The IoT client running on the destination device reads this value and uses it to look up a port or an IP address and a port. The IoT client instantiates the local proxy, which uses this information to connect to the destination application.

• timeoutConfig (dict) --

  Timeout configuration for a tunnel.

  • maxLifetimeTimeoutMinutes (integer) --
