CreateComponent - EC2 Image Builder
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).

CreateComponent

Creates a new component that can be used to build, validate, test, and assess your image. The component is based on a YAML document that you specify using exactly one of the following methods:

  • Inline, using the data property in the request body.

  • A URL that points to a YAML document file stored in Amazon S3, using the uri property in the request body.

Request Syntax

PUT /CreateComponent HTTP/1.1 Content-type: application/json { "changeDescription": "string", "clientToken": "string", "data": "string", "description": "string", "kmsKeyId": "string", "name": "string", "platform": "string", "semanticVersion": "string", "supportedOsVersions": [ "string" ], "tags": { "string" : "string" }, "uri": "string" }

URI Request Parameters

The request does not use any URI parameters.

Request Body

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

changeDescription

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1024.

clientToken

Unique, case-sensitive identifier you provide to ensure idempotency of the request. For more information, see Ensuring idempotency in the Amazon EC2 API Reference.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 36.

Required: Yes

data

Component data contains inline YAML document content for the component. Alternatively, you can specify the uri of a YAML document file stored in Amazon S3. However, you cannot specify both properties.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 16000.

Pattern: [^\x00]+

Required: No

description

Describes the contents of the component.

Required: No

kmsKeyId

The ID of the KMS key that is used to encrypt this component.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1024.

Required: No

name

The name of the component.

Type: String

platform

The operating system platform of the component.

Type: String

Valid Values: Windows | Linux | macOS

Required: Yes

semanticVersion

The semantic version of the component. This version follows the semantic version syntax.

Note

The semantic version has four nodes: <major>.<minor>.<patch>/<build>. You can assign values for the first three, and can filter on all of them.

Assignment: For the first three nodes you can assign any positive integer value, including zero, with an upper limit of 2^30-1, or 1073741823 for each node. Image Builder automatically assigns the build number to the fourth node.

Patterns: You can use any numeric pattern that adheres to the assignment requirements for the nodes that you can assign. For example, you might choose a software version pattern, such as 1.0.0, or a date, such as 2021.01.01.

Type: String

Pattern: ^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$

Required: Yes

supportedOsVersions

The operating system (OS) version supported by the component. If the OS information is available, a prefix match is performed against the base image OS version during image recipe creation.
