There are more AWS SDK examples available in the AWS Doc SDK Examples GitHub repo.

App Runner examples using AWS CLI

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the AWS Command Line Interface with App Runner.

Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

The following code example shows how to use associate-custom-domain.

AWS CLI

To associate a domain name and the www subdomain with a service

The following associate-custom-domain example associates a custom domain name that you control with an App Runner service. The domain name is the root domain example.com, including the special-case subdomain www.example.com.

aws apprunner associate-custom-domain \
    --cli-input-json file://input.json

Contents of input.json:

}

The following code example shows how to use create-auto-scaling-configuration.

AWS CLI

To create a high availability auto scaling configuration

The following create-auto-scaling-configuration example creates an auto scaling configuration optimized for high availability by setting MinSize to 5. With this configuration, App Runner attempts to spread your service instances over the most Availability Zones possible, up to five, depending on the AWS Region.

The call returns an AutoScalingConfiguration object with the other settings set to their defaults. In the example, this is the first call to create a configuration named high-availability. The revision is set to 1, and it's the latest revision.

aws apprunner create-auto-scaling-configuration \
    --cli-input-json file://input.json

Contents of input.json:

{
    "AutoScalingConfigurationName": "high-availability",
    "MinSize": 5

        "MaxSize": 50,
        "MinSize": 5
    }
}

The following code example shows how to use create-connection.

AWS CLI

To create a GitHub connection

The following create-connection example creates a connection to a private GitHub code repository. The connection status after a successful call is PENDING_HANDSHAKE. This is because an authentication handshake with the provider still hasn't happened. Complete the handshake using the App Runner console.

aws apprunner create-connection \
    --cli-input-json file://input.json

Contents of input.json:

{
    "ConnectionName": "my-github-connection",
    "ProviderType": "GITHUB"
}

Output:

{
    "Connection": {
        "ConnectionArn": "arn:aws:apprunner:us-east-1:123456789012:connection/my-github-connection",

        "CreatedAt": "2020-11-03T00:32:51Z",
        "ProviderType": "GITHUB"
    }
}

The following code example shows how to use delete-auto-scaling-configuration.

AWS CLI

Example 1: To delete the latest active revision of an auto scaling configuration

The following delete-auto-scaling-configuration example deletes the latest active revision of an App Runner auto scaling configuration. To delete the latest active revision, specify an Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that ends with the configuration name, without the revision component.

In the example, two revisions exist before this action. Therefore, revision 2 (the latest) is deleted. However, it now shows "Latest": false, because, after being deleted, it isn't the latest active revision anymore.

aws apprunner delete-auto-scaling-configuration \
    --cli-input-json file://input.json

Contents of input.json:

{
    "AutoScalingConfigurationArn": "arn:aws:apprunner:us-east-1:123456789012:autoscalingconfiguration/high-availability"
}

Output:

        "MinSize": 5
    }
}

Example 2: To delete a specific revision of an auto scaling configuration

The following delete-auto-scaling-configuration example deletes a specific revision of an App Runner auto scaling configuration. To delete a specific revision, specify an ARN that includes the revision number.

In the example, several revisions exist before this action. The action deletes revision 1.

aws apprunner delete-auto-scaling-configuration \
    --cli-input-json file://input.json

        "MaxSize": 50,
        "MinSize": 5
    }
}

The following code example shows how to use delete-connection.

AWS CLI

To delete a connection

The following delete-connection example deletes an App Runner connection. The connection status after a successful call is DELETED. This is because the connection is no longer available.
