This is the Proton Service API Reference. It provides descriptions, syntax and usage examples for each of the and for the Proton service.

The documentation for each action shows the Query API request parameters and the XML response.

Alternatively, you can use the Amazon Web Services CLI to access an API. For more information, see the .

The Proton service is a two-pronged automation framework. Administrators create service templates to provide standardized infrastructure and deployment tooling for serverless and container based applications. Developers, in turn, select from the available service templates to automate their application or service deployments.

Because administrators define the infrastructure and tooling that Proton deploys and manages, they need permissions to use all of the listed API operations.

When developers select a specific infrastructure and tooling set, Proton deploys their applications. To monitor their applications that are running on Proton, developers need permissions to the service create, list, update and delete API operations and the service instance list and update API operations.

To learn more about Proton, see the .

Ensuring Idempotency

When you make a mutating API request, the request typically returns a result before the asynchronous workflows of the operation are complete. Operations might also time out or encounter other server issues before they're complete, even if the request already returned a result. This might make it difficult to determine whether the request succeeded. Moreover, you might need to retry the request multiple times to ensure that the operation completes successfully. However, if the original request and the subsequent retries are successful, the operation occurs multiple times. This means that you might create more resources than you intended.

Idempotency ensures that an API request action completes no more than one time. With an idempotent request, if the original request action completes successfully, any subsequent retries complete successfully without performing any further actions. However, the result might contain updated information, such as the current creation status.

The following lists of APIs are grouped according to methods that ensure idempotency.

Idempotent create APIs with a client token

The API actions in this list support idempotency with the use of a client token. The corresponding Amazon Web Services CLI commands also support idempotency using a client token. A client token is a unique, case-sensitive string of up to 64 ASCII characters. To make an idempotent API request using one of these actions, specify a client token in the request. We recommend that you don't reuse the same client token for other API requests. If you don’t provide a client token for these APIs, a default client token is automatically provided by SDKs.

Given a request action that has succeeded:

If you retry the request using the same client token and the same parameters, the retry succeeds without performing any further actions other than returning the original resource detail data in the response.

If you retry the request using the same client token, but one or more of the parameters are different, the retry throws a ValidationException with an IdempotentParameterMismatch error.

Client tokens expire eight hours after a request is made. If you retry the request with the expired token, a new resource is created.

If the original resource is deleted and you retry the request, a new resource is created.

Idempotent create APIs with a client token:

CreateEnvironmentTemplateVersion
CreateServiceTemplateVersion
CreateEnvironmentAccountConnection

Idempotent create APIs

Given a request action that has succeeded:

If you retry the request with an API from this group, and the original resource hasn't been modified, the retry succeeds without performing any further actions other than returning the original resource detail data in the response.

If the original resource has been modified, the retry throws a ConflictException.

If you retry with different input parameters, the retry throws a ValidationException with an IdempotentParameterMismatch error.

Idempotent create APIs:

CreateEnvironmentTemplate
CreateServiceTemplate
CreateEnvironment
CreateService

Idempotent delete APIs

Given a request action that has succeeded:

When you retry the request with an API from this group and the resource was deleted, its metadata is returned in the response.

If you retry and the resource doesn't exist, the response is empty.

In both cases, the retry succeeds.

Idempotent delete APIs:

DeleteEnvironmentTemplate
DeleteEnvironmentTemplateVersion
DeleteServiceTemplate
DeleteServiceTemplateVersion
DeleteEnvironmentAccountConnection

Asynchronous idempotent delete APIs

Given a request action that has succeeded:

If you retry the request with an API from this group, if the original request delete operation status is DELETE_IN_PROGRESS, the retry returns the resource detail data in the response without performing any further actions.

If the original request delete operation is complete, a retry returns an empty response.

Asynchronous idempotent delete APIs:

DeleteEnvironment
DeleteService

xAmzTargetAwsProton20200720CreateComponent.createComponent

Create an Proton component. A component is an infrastructure extension for a service instance.

For more information about components, see in the Proton User Guide.
xAmzTargetAwsProton20200720CreateEnvironment.createEnvironment
Deploy a new environment. An Proton environment is created from an environment template that defines infrastructure and resources that can be shared across services.

You can provision environments using the following methods:
- Amazon Web Services-managed provisioning: Proton makes direct calls to provision your resources.
- Self-managed provisioning: Proton makes pull requests on your repository to provide compiled infrastructure as code (IaC) files that your IaC engine uses to provision resources.
For more information, see and in the Proton User Guide.
xAmzTargetAwsProton20200720CreateEnvironmentAccountConnection.createEnvironmentAccountConnection

Create an environment account connection in an environment account so that environment infrastructure resources can be provisioned in the environment account from a management account.

An environment account connection is a secure bi-directional connection between a management account and an environment account that maintains authorization and permissions. For more information, see in the Proton User guide.
xAmzTargetAwsProton20200720CreateEnvironmentTemplate.createEnvironmentTemplate
Create an environment template for Proton. For more information, see in the Proton User Guide.

You can create an environment template in one of the two following ways:
- Register and publish a standard environment template that instructs Proton to deploy and manage environment infrastructure.
- Register and publish a customer managed environment template that connects Proton to your existing provisioned infrastructure that you manage. Proton doesn't manage your existing provisioned infrastructure. To create an environment template for customer provisioned and managed infrastructure, include the provisioning parameter and set the value to CUSTOMER_MANAGED. For more information, see in the Proton User Guide.
xAmzTargetAwsProton20200720CreateEnvironmentTemplateVersion.createEnvironmentTemplateVersion

Create a new major or minor version of an environment template. A major version of an environment template is a version that isn't backwards compatible. A minor version of an environment template is a version that's backwards compatible within its major version.
xAmzTargetAwsProton20200720CreateRepository.createRepository

Create and register a link to a repository. Proton uses the link to repeatedly access the repository, to either push to it (self-managed provisioning) or pull from it (template sync). You can share a linked repository across multiple resources (like environments using self-managed provisioning, or synced templates). When you create a repository link, Proton creates a for you.

For more information, see , , and in the Proton User Guide.
xAmzTargetAwsProton20200720CreateService.createService

xAmzTargetAwsProton20200720CreateServiceTemplate.createServiceTemplate

Create a service template. The administrator creates a service template to define standardized infrastructure and an optional CI/CD service pipeline. Developers, in turn, select the service template from Proton. If the selected service template includes a service pipeline definition, they provide a link to their source code repository. Proton then deploys and manages the infrastructure defined by the selected service template. For more information, see in the Proton User Guide.
xAmzTargetAwsProton20200720CreateServiceTemplateVersion.createServiceTemplateVersion

Create a new major or minor version of a service template. A major version of a service template is a version that isn't backward compatible. A minor version of a service template is a version that's backward compatible within its major version.
xAmzTargetAwsProton20200720CreateTemplateSyncConfig.createTemplateSyncConfig

Set up a template to create new template versions automatically by tracking a linked repository. A linked repository is a repository that has been registered with Proton. For more information, see CreateRepository [blocked].

When a commit is pushed to your linked repository, Proton checks for changes to your repository template bundles. If it detects a template bundle change, a new major or minor version of its template is created, if the version doesn’t already exist. For more information, see in the Proton User Guide.
xAmzTargetAwsProton20200720DeleteComponent.deleteComponent

Delete an Proton component resource.

For more information about components, see in the Proton User Guide.

Delete an environment.
xAmzTargetAwsProton20200720DeleteEnvironmentAccountConnection.deleteEnvironmentAccountConnection

In an environment account, delete an environment account connection.

After you delete an environment account connection that’s in use by an Proton environment, Proton can’t manage the environment infrastructure resources until a new environment account connection is accepted for the environment account and associated environment. You're responsible for cleaning up provisioned resources that remain without an environment connection.

For more information, see in the Proton User guide.
xAmzTargetAwsProton20200720DeleteEnvironmentTemplate.deleteEnvironmentTemplate

If no other major or minor versions of an environment template exist, delete the environment template.
xAmzTargetAwsProton20200720DeleteEnvironmentTemplateVersion.deleteEnvironmentTemplateVersion

If no other minor versions of an environment template exist, delete a major version of the environment template if it's not the Recommended version. Delete the Recommended version of the environment template if no other major versions or minor versions of the environment template exist. A major version of an environment template is a version that's not backward compatible.

Delete a minor version of an environment template if it isn't the Recommended version. Delete a Recommended minor version of the environment template if no other minor versions of the environment template exist. A minor version of an environment template is a version that's backward compatible.

Get the sync status of a repository used for Proton template sync. For more information about template sync, see .

A repository sync status isn't tied to the Proton Repository resource (or any other Proton resource). Therefore, tags on an Proton Repository resource have no effect on this action. Specifically, you can't use these tags to control access to this action using Attribute-based access control (ABAC).

For more information about ABAC, see in the Proton User Guide.
xAmzTargetAwsProton20200720GetResourcesSummary.getResourcesSummary

Get counts of Proton resources.

For infrastructure-provisioning resources (environments, services, service instances, pipelines), the action returns staleness counts. A resource is stale when it's behind the recommended version of the Proton template that it uses and it needs an update to become current.

The action returns staleness counts (counts of resources that are up-to-date, behind a template major version, or behind a template minor version), the total number of resources, and the number of resources that are in a failed state, grouped by resource type. Components, environments, and service templates return less information - see the components, environments, and serviceTemplates field descriptions.

For context, the action also returns the total number of each type of Proton template in the Amazon Web Services account.

For more information, see in the Proton User Guide.
