aws ds create-alias

Creates an alias for a directory and assigns the alias to the directory. The alias is used to construct the access URL for the directory, such as http://<alias>.awsapps.com. After an alias has been created, it cannot be deleted or reused, so this operation should only be used when absolutely necessary

Options

NameDescription
--directory-id <string>The identifier of the directory for which to create the alias
--alias <string>The requested alias. The alias must be unique amongst all aliases in AWS. This operation throws an EntityAlreadyExistsException error if the alias already exists
--cli-input-json <string>Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by ``--generate-cli-skeleton``. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally
--generate-cli-skeleton <string>Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value ``input``, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for ``--cli-input-json``. If provided with the value ``output``, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command
