AWS::ServiceDiscovery::Instance

The AWS::ServiceDiscovery::Instance resource specifies information about a service instance that AWS Cloud Map creates. For more information, see Instance in the AWS Cloud Map API Reference.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{
  "Type" : "AWS::ServiceDiscovery::Instance",
  "Properties" : {
    "InstanceAttributes" : JSON object,
    "InstanceId" : String,
    "ServiceId" : String
  }
}

YAML

Type: "AWS::ServiceDiscovery::Instance"
Properties:
  InstanceAttributes: JSON object
  InstanceId: String
  ServiceId: String

Properties

InstanceAttributes

A string map that contains attribute keys and values. Supported attribute keys include the following:

  • AWS_ALIAS_DNS_NAME: If you want AWS Cloud Map to create an Amazon Route 53 alias record that routes traffic to an Elastic Load Balancing load balancer, specify the DNS name that is associated with the load balancer.

  • AWS_INSTANCE_CNAME: If the service configuration includes a CNAME record, the domain name that you want Route 53 to return in response to DNS queries, for example, example.com. This value is required if the service specified by ServiceId includes settings for an CNAME record.

  • AWS_INSTANCE_PORT: The port on the endpoint that you want AWS Cloud Map to perform health checks on. This value is also used for the port value in an SRV record if the service that you specify includes an SRV record. You can also specify a default port that is applied to all instances in the Service configuration. For more information, see CreateService in the AWS Cloud Map API Reference.

  • AWS_INSTANCE_IPV4: If the service that you specify contains a template for an A record, the IPv4 address that you want AWS Cloud Map to use for the value of the A record.

  • AWS_INSTANCE_IPV6: If the service that you specify contains a template for an AAAA record, the IPv6 address that you want AWS Cloud Map to use for the value of the AAAA record.

Required: Yes
