create_association#

SSM.Client.create_association(**kwargs)#

A State Manager association defines the state that you want to maintain on your managed nodes. For example, an association can specify that anti-virus software must be installed and running on your managed nodes, or that certain ports must be closed. For static targets, the association specifies a schedule for when the configuration is reapplied. For dynamic targets, such as an Amazon Web Services resource group or an Amazon Web Services autoscaling group, State Manager, a capability of Amazon Web Services Systems Manager applies the configuration when new managed nodes are added to the group. The association also specifies actions to take when applying the configuration. For example, an association for anti-virus software might run once a day. If the software isn’t installed, then State Manager installs it. If the software is installed, but the service isn’t running, then the association might instruct State Manager to start the service.

Parameters:

Name (string) –
[REQUIRED]

The name of the SSM Command document or Automation runbook that contains the configuration information for the managed node.

You can specify Amazon Web Services-predefined documents, documents you created, or a document that is shared with you from another Amazon Web Services account.

For Systems Manager documents (SSM documents) that are shared with you from other Amazon Web Services accounts, you must specify the complete SSM document ARN, in the following format:

arn:partition:ssm:region:account-id:document/document-name

For example:

arn:aws:ssm:us-east-2:12345678912:document/My-Shared-Document

For Amazon Web Services-predefined documents and SSM documents you created in your account, you only need to specify the document name. For example, AWS-ApplyPatchBaseline or My-Document.
DocumentVersion (string) –
The document version you want to associate with the targets. Can be a specific version or the default version.

Warning
State Manager doesn’t support running associations that use a new version of a document if that document is shared from another account. State Manager always runs the default version of a document if shared from another account, even though the Systems Manager console shows that a new version was processed. If you want to run an association using a new version of a document shared form another account, you must set the document version to default.
InstanceId (string) –
The managed node ID.

Note
InstanceId has been deprecated. To specify a managed node ID for an association, use the Targets parameter. Requests that include the parameter InstanceID with Systems Manager documents (SSM documents) that use schema version 2.0 or later will fail. In addition, if you use the parameter InstanceId, you can’t use the parameters AssociationName, DocumentVersion, MaxErrors, MaxConcurrency, OutputLocation, or ScheduleExpression. To use these parameters, you must use the Targets parameter.
Parameters (dict) –
The parameters for the runtime configuration of the document.
- (string) –
  - (list) –
    - (string) –
Targets (list) –
The targets for the association. You can target managed nodes by using tags, Amazon Web Services resource groups, all managed nodes in an Amazon Web Services account, or individual managed node IDs. You can target all managed nodes in an Amazon Web Services account by specifying the InstanceIds key with a value of *. For more information about choosing targets for an association, see Understanding targets and rate controls in State Manager associations in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide.
- (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.
  
  For all Systems Manager capabilities:
  - Key=tag-key,Values=tag-value-1,tag-value-2
  For Automation and Change Manager:
  - Key=tag:tag-key,Values=tag-value
  - Key=ResourceGroup,Values=resource-group-name
  - Key=ParameterValues,Values=value-1,value-2,value-3
  - To target all instances in the Amazon Web Services Region:
    - Key=AWS::EC2::Instance,Values=*
    - Key=InstanceIds,Values=*
  For Run Command and Maintenance Windows:
  - Key=InstanceIds,Values=instance-id-1,instance-id-2,instance-id-3
  - Key=tag:tag-key,Values=tag-value-1,tag-value-2
  - Key=resource-groups:Name,Values=resource-group-name
  - Additionally, Maintenance Windows support targeting resource types:
    - Key=resource-groups:ResourceTypeFilters,Values=resource-type-1,resource-type-2
  For State Manager:
  - Key=InstanceIds,Values=instance-id-1,instance-id-2,instance-id-3
  - Key=tag:tag-key,Values=tag-value-1,tag-value-2
  - To target all instances in the Amazon Web Services Region:
    - Key=InstanceIds,Values=*
  For more information about how to send commands that target managed nodes using Key,Value parameters, see Targeting multiple managed nodes 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) –
ScheduleExpression (string) – A cron expression when the association will be applied to the targets.
OutputLocation (dict) –
An Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket where you want to store the output details of the request.
- S3Location (dict) –
  
  An S3 bucket where you want to store the results of this request.
  - OutputS3Region (string) –
    
    The Amazon Web Services Region of the S3 bucket.
  - OutputS3BucketName (string) –
    
    The name of the S3 bucket.
  - OutputS3KeyPrefix (string) –
    
    The S3 bucket subfolder.
AssociationName (string) – Specify a descriptive name for the association.
AutomationTargetParameterName (string) – Choose the parameter that will define how your automation will branch out. This target is required for associations that use an Automation runbook and target resources by using rate controls. Automation is a capability of Amazon Web Services Systems Manager.
MaxErrors (string) –
The number of errors that are allowed before the system stops sending requests to run the association on additional targets. You can specify either an absolute number of errors, for example 10, or a percentage of the target set, for example 10%. If you specify 3, for example, the system stops sending requests when the fourth error is received. If you specify 0, then the system stops sending requests after the first error is returned. If you run an association on 50 managed nodes and set MaxError to 10%, then the system stops sending the request when the sixth error is received.

Executions that are already running an association when MaxErrors is reached are allowed to complete, but some of these executions may fail as well. If you need to ensure that there won’t be more than max-errors failed executions, set MaxConcurrency to 1 so that executions proceed one at a time.
MaxConcurrency (string) –
The maximum number of targets allowed to run the association at the same time. You can specify a number, for example 10, or a percentage of the target set, for example 10%. The default value is 100%, which means all targets run the association at the same time.

If a new managed node starts and attempts to run an association while Systems Manager is running MaxConcurrency associations, the association is allowed to run. During the next association interval, the new managed node will process its association within the limit specified for MaxConcurrency.
ComplianceSeverity (string) – The severity level to assign to the association.
SyncCompliance (string) –
The mode for generating association compliance. You can specify AUTO or MANUAL. In AUTO mode, the system uses the status of the association execution to determine the compliance status. If the association execution runs successfully, then the association is COMPLIANT. If the association execution doesn’t run successfully, the association is NON-COMPLIANT.

In MANUAL mode, you must specify the AssociationId as a parameter for the PutComplianceItems API operation. In this case, compliance data isn’t managed by State Manager. It is managed by your direct call to the PutComplianceItems API operation.

By default, all associations use AUTO mode.
ApplyOnlyAtCronInterval (boolean) – By default, when you create a new association, the system runs it immediately after it is created and then according to the schedule you specified. Specify this option if you don’t want an association to run immediately after you create it. This parameter isn’t supported for rate expressions.
CalendarNames (list) –
The names or Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the Change Calendar type documents you want to gate your associations under. The associations only run when that change calendar is open. For more information, see Amazon Web Services Systems Manager Change Calendar.
- (string) –
TargetLocations (list) –
A location is a combination of Amazon Web Services Regions and Amazon Web Services accounts where you want to run the association. Use this action to create an association in multiple Regions and multiple accounts.

    - IgnorePollAlarmFailure (boolean) –
      
      When this value is true, your automation or command continues to run in cases where we can’t retrieve alarm status information from CloudWatch. In cases where we successfully retrieve an alarm status of OK or INSUFFICIENT_DATA, the automation or command continues to run, regardless of this value. Default is false.
    - Alarms (list) – [REQUIRED]
      
      The name of the CloudWatch alarm specified in the configuration.

        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) –
  - TargetsMaxConcurrency (string) –
    
    The maximum number of targets allowed to run this task in parallel. This TargetsMaxConcurrency takes precedence over the StartAutomationExecution:MaxConcurrency parameter if both are supplied.
  - TargetsMaxErrors (string) –
    
    The maximum number of errors that are allowed before the system stops running the automation on additional targets. This TargetsMaxErrors parameter takes precedence over the StartAutomationExecution:MaxErrors parameter if both are supplied.
ScheduleOffset (integer) –
Number of days to wait after the scheduled day to run an association. For example, if you specified a cron schedule of cron(0 0 ? * THU#2 *), you could specify an offset of 3 to run the association each Sunday after the second Thursday of the month. For more information about cron schedules for associations, see Reference: Cron and rate expressions for Systems Manager in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide.

Note
To use offsets, you must specify the ApplyOnlyAtCronInterval parameter. This option tells the system not to run an association immediately after you create it.
Duration (integer) –
The number of hours the association can run before it is canceled. Duration applies to associations that are currently running, and any pending and in progress commands on all targets. If a target was taken offline for the association to run, it is made available again immediately, without a reboot.

The Duration parameter applies only when both these conditions are true:
- The association for which you specify a duration is cancelable according to the parameters of the SSM command document or Automation runbook associated with this execution.
- The command specifies the ApplyOnlyAtCronInterval parameter, which means that the association doesn’t run immediately after it is created, but only according to the specified schedule.
TargetMaps (list) –
A key-value mapping of document parameters to target resources. Both Targets and TargetMaps can’t be specified together.
- (dict) –
  - (string) –
    - (list) –
      - (string) –
Tags (list) –
Adds or overwrites one or more tags for a State Manager association. Tags are metadata that you can assign to your Amazon Web Services resources. Tags enable you to categorize your resources in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define.
- (dict) –
  
  Metadata that you assign to your Amazon Web Services resources. Tags enable you to categorize your resources in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. In Amazon Web Services Systems Manager, you can apply tags to Systems Manager documents (SSM documents), managed nodes, maintenance windows, parameters, patch baselines, OpsItems, and OpsMetadata.
  - Key (string) – [REQUIRED]
    
    The name of the tag.
  - Value (string) – [REQUIRED]
    
    The value of the tag.
AlarmConfiguration (dict) –
The details for the CloudWatch alarm you want to apply to an automation or command.
- IgnorePollAlarmFailure (boolean) –
  
  When this value is true, your automation or command continues to run in cases where we can’t retrieve alarm status information from CloudWatch. In cases where we successfully retrieve an alarm status of OK or INSUFFICIENT_DATA, the automation or command continues to run, regardless of this value. Default is false.
- Alarms (list) – [REQUIRED]
  
  The name of the CloudWatch alarm specified in the configuration.
  - (dict) –
    
    A CloudWatch alarm you apply to an automation or command.

      For more information about how to send commands that target managed nodes using Key,Value parameters, see Targeting multiple managed nodes 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) –
  - ScheduleExpression (string) –
    
    A cron expression that specifies a schedule when the association runs.
  - OutputLocation (dict) –
    
    An S3 bucket where you want to store the output details of the request.
    - S3Location (dict) –
      
      An S3 bucket where you want to store the results of this request.
      - OutputS3Region (string) –
        
        The Amazon Web Services Region of the S3 bucket.
      - OutputS3BucketName (string) –
        
        The name of the S3 bucket.
      - OutputS3KeyPrefix (string) –
        
        The S3 bucket subfolder.
  - LastExecutionDate (datetime) –
    
    The date on which the association was last run.
  - LastSuccessfulExecutionDate (datetime) –
    
    The last date on which the association was successfully run.
  - AssociationName (string) –
    
    The association name.
  - MaxErrors (string) –
    
    The number of errors that are allowed before the system stops sending requests to run the association on additional targets. You can specify either an absolute number of errors, for example 10, or a percentage of the target set, for example 10%. If you specify 3, for example, the system stops sending requests when the fourth error is received. If you specify 0, then the system stops sending requests after the first error is returned. If you run an association on 50 managed nodes and set MaxError to 10%, then the system stops sending the request when the sixth error is received.
    
    Executions that are already running an association when MaxErrors is reached are allowed to complete, but some of these executions may fail as well. If you need to ensure that there won’t be more than max-errors failed executions, set MaxConcurrency to 1 so that executions proceed one at a time.
  - MaxConcurrency (string) –
    
    The maximum number of targets allowed to run the association at the same time. You can specify a number, for example 10, or a percentage of the target set, for example 10%. The default value is 100%, which means all targets run the association at the same time.
    
    If a new managed node starts and attempts to run an association while Systems Manager is running MaxConcurrency associations, the association is allowed to run. During the next association interval, the new managed node will process its association within the limit specified for MaxConcurrency.
  - ComplianceSeverity (string) –
    
    The severity level that is assigned to the association.
  - SyncCompliance (string) –
    
    The mode for generating association compliance. You can specify AUTO or MANUAL. In AUTO mode, the system uses the status of the association execution to determine the compliance status. If the association execution runs successfully, then the association is COMPLIANT. If the association execution doesn’t run successfully, the association is NON-COMPLIANT.
    
    In MANUAL mode, you must specify the AssociationId as a parameter for the PutComplianceItems API operation. In this case, compliance data isn’t managed by State Manager, a capability of Amazon Web Services Systems Manager. It is managed by your direct call to the PutComplianceItems API operation.
    
    By default, all associations use AUTO mode.
  - ApplyOnlyAtCronInterval (boolean) –
    
    By default, when you create a new associations, the system runs it immediately after it is created and then according to the schedule you specified. Specify this option if you don’t want an association to run immediately after you create it. This parameter isn’t supported for rate expressions.
  - CalendarNames (list) –
    
    The names or Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the Change Calendar type documents your associations are gated under. The associations only run when that change calendar is open. For more information, see Amazon Web Services Systems Manager Change Calendar.

        (string) –
      - TargetLocationMaxConcurrency (string) –
        
        The maximum number of Amazon Web Services Regions and Amazon Web Services accounts allowed to run the Automation concurrently.
      - TargetLocationMaxErrors (string) –
        
        The maximum number of errors allowed before the system stops queueing additional Automation executions for the currently running Automation.
      - ExecutionRoleName (string) –
        
        The Automation execution role used by the currently running Automation. If not specified, the default value is AWS-SystemsManager-AutomationExecutionRole.
