Creating Services

Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the Amazon Cloud Map console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/cloudmap/.

In the navigation pane, choose Namespaces.

On the Namespaces page, choose the namespace that you want to add the service to.

On the Namespace: namespace-name page, choose Create service.

On the Create service page, enter the applicable values. For more information, see Values That You Specify When You Create Services.

Choose Create service.

If you don't already have Boto3 installed, you can find instructions for installing, configuring, and using Boto3 here.

Import Boto3 and use servicediscovery as your service.

import boto3
client = boto3.client('servicediscovery')

Create a service with create_service() (replace the red value with your own).

response = client.create_service(
    DnsConfig={
        'DnsRecords': [
            {
                'TTL': 60,
                'Type': 'A',
            },
        ],
        'NamespaceId': 'ns-xxxxxxxxxxx',
        'RoutingPolicy': 'MULTIVALUE',
    },
    Name='service-name',
    NamespaceId='ns-xxxxxxxxxxx',
)
