To create a case

The following create-case example creates a support case for your Amazon account.

aws support create-case \
    --category-code "using-aws" \
    --cc-email-addresses "myemail@example.com" \
    --communication-body "I want to learn more about an AWS service." \
    --issue-type "technical" \
    --language "en" \
    --service-code "general-info" \
    --severity-code "low" \
    --subject "Question about my account"

Output:

{
    "caseId": "case-12345678910-2013-c4c1d2bf33c5cf47"
}

Example 1: Creates a new case in the Amazon Support Center. Values for the -ServiceCode and -CategoryCode parameters can be obtained using the Get-ASAService cmdlet. The value for the -SeverityCode parameter can be obtained using the Get-ASASeverityLevel cmdlet. The -IssueType parameter value can be either "customer-service" or "technical". If successful the Amazon Support case number is output. By default the case will be handled in English, to use Japanese add the -Language "ja" parameter. The -ServiceCode, -CategoryCode, -Subject and -CommunicationBody parameters are mandatory.

New-ASACase -ServiceCode "amazon-cloudfront" -CategoryCode "APIs" -SeverityCode "low" -Subject "subject text" -CommunicationBody "description of the case" -CcEmailAddress @("email1@domain.com", "email2@domain.com") -IssueType "technical"
