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.

Return type:

dict
