Use RegisterTargetWithMaintenanceWindow with an Amazon SDK or CLI

Example 1: To register a single target with a maintenance window

The following register-target-with-maintenance-window example registers an instance with a maintenance window.

aws ssm register-target-with-maintenance-window \
    --window-id "mw-ab12cd34ef56gh78" \
    --target "Key=InstanceIds,Values=i-0000293ffd8c57862" \
    --owner-information "Single instance" \
    --resource-type "INSTANCE"

Output:

{
    "WindowTargetId":"1a2b3c4d-1a2b-1a2b-1a2b-1a2b3c4d-1a2"
}

Example 2: To register multiple targets with a maintenance window using instance IDs

The following register-target-with-maintenance-window example registers two instances with a maintenance window by specifying their instance IDs.

aws ssm register-target-with-maintenance-window \
    --window-id "mw-ab12cd34ef56gh78" \
    --target "Key=InstanceIds,Values=i-0000293ffd8c57862,i-0cb2b964d3e14fd9f" \
    --owner-information "Two instances in a list" \
    --resource-type "INSTANCE"

Output:

{
    "WindowTargetId":"1a2b3c4d-1a2b-1a2b-1a2b-1a2b3c4d-1a2"
}

Example 3: To register targets with a maintenance window using resource tags

The following register-target-with-maintenance-window example registers instances with a maintenance window by specifying resource tags that have been applied to the instances.

aws ssm register-target-with-maintenance-window \
    --window-id "mw-06cf17cbefcb4bf4f" \
    --targets "Key=tag:Environment,Values=Prod" "Key=Role,Values=Web" \
    --owner-information "Production Web Servers" \
    --resource-type "INSTANCE"

Output:

{
    "WindowTargetId":"1a2b3c4d-1a2b-1a2b-1a2b-1a2b3c4d-1a2"
}

Example 4: To register targets using a group of tag keys

The following register-target-with-maintenance-window example register instances that all have one or more tag keys assigned to them, regardless of their key values.

aws ssm register-target-with-maintenance-window \
    --window-id "mw-0c50858d01EXAMPLE" \
    --resource-type "INSTANCE" \
    --target "Key=tag-key,Values=Name,Instance-Type,CostCenter"

Output:

{
    "WindowTargetId":"1a2b3c4d-1a2b-1a2b-1a2b-1a2b3c4d-1a2"
}

Example 5: To register targets using a resource group name

The following register-target-with-maintenance-window example register a specified resource group, regardless of the type of resources it contains.

aws ssm register-target-with-maintenance-window \
    --window-id "mw-0c50858d01EXAMPLE" \
    --resource-type "RESOURCE_GROUP" \
    --target "Key=resource-groups:Name,Values=MyResourceGroup"

Output:

{
    "WindowTargetId":"1a2b3c4d-1a2b-1a2b-1a2b-1a2b3c4d-1a2"
}
