Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

This documentation is for Version 1 of the Amazon CLI only. For documentation related to Version 2 of the Amazon CLI, see the Version 2 User Guide.

App Mesh examples using Amazon CLI

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the Amazon Command Line Interface with App Mesh.

Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

The following code example shows how to use create-mesh.

Amazon CLI

Example 1: To create a new service mesh

The following create-mesh example creates a service mesh.

aws appmesh create-mesh \
    --mesh-name app1

Output:

{
    "mesh":{
        "meshName":"app1",
        "metadata":{
            "arn":"arn:aws:appmesh:us-east-1:123456789012:mesh/app1",
            "createdAt":1563809909.282,

        },
        "spec":{},
        "status":{
            "status":"ACTIVE"
        }
    }
}

Example 2: To create a new service mesh with multiple tags

The following create-mesh example creates a service mesh with multiple tags.

aws appmesh create-mesh \
    --mesh-name app2 \
    --tags key=key1,value=value1 key=key2,value=value2 key=key3,value=value3

Output:

{
    "mesh":{
        "meshName":"app2",
        "metadata":{
            "arn":"arn:aws:appmesh:us-east-1:123456789012:mesh/app2",
            "createdAt":1563822121.877,

        },
        "spec":{},

        }
    }
}

The following code example shows how to use create-route.

Amazon CLI

To create a new gRPC route

The following create-route example uses a JSON input file to create a gRPC route. GRPC traffic that has metadata that starts with 123 is routed to a virtual node named serviceBgrpc. If there are specific gRPC, HTTP, or TCP failures when attempting to communicate with the target of the route, the route is retried three times. There is a 15 second delay between each retry attempt.

To create a new HTTP or HTTP/2 route

The following create-route example uses a JSON input file to create an HTTP/2 route. To create an HTTP route, replace http2Route with httpRoute under spec. All HTTP/2 traffic addressed to any URL prefix that has a header value that starts with 123 is routed to a virtual node named serviceBhttp2. If there are specific HTTP or TCP failures when attempting to communicate with the target of the route, the route is retried three times. There is a 15 second delay between each retry attempt.

To create a new TCP route

The following create-route example uses a JSON input file to create a TCP route. 75 percent of traffic is routed to a virtual node named serviceBtcp, and 25 percent of traffic is routed to a virtual node named serviceBv2tcp. Specifying different weightings for different targets is an effective way to do a deployment of a new version of an application. You can adjust the weights so that eventually, 100 percent of all traffic is routed to a target that has the new version of an application.

The following code example shows how to use update-virtual-router.

Amazon CLI

To update a virtual router

The following update-virtual-router example uses a JSON input file to update a virtual router listener port.

aws appmesh update-virtual-router \
    --cli-input-json file://update-virtual-router.json

Contents of update-virtual-router.json:

{
    "meshName": "app1",
    "spec": {
        "listeners": [
            {
                "portMapping": {
                    "port": 8080,
                    "protocol": "http"
                }
            }
        ]
    },
    "virtualRouterName": "vrServiceB"
}

The following code example shows how to use update-virtual-service.

Amazon CLI

To update a virtual service

The following update-virtual-service example uses a JSON input file to update a virtual service to use a virtual router provider.

aws appmesh update-virtual-service \
    --cli-input-json file://update-virtual-service.json

Contents of update-virtual-service.json:

{
    "meshName": "app1",
    "spec": {
