Creates an activity. An activity is a task that you write in any
programming language and host on any machine that has access to AWS Step
Functions. Activities must poll Step Functions using the
GetActivityTask
API action and respond using SendTask*
API actions.
This function lets Step Functions know the existence of your activity
and returns an identifier for use in a state machine and when polling
from the activity.
This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.
CreateActivity
is an idempotent API. Subsequent requests won<U+2019>t create
a duplicate resource if it was already created. CreateActivity
's
idempotency check is based on the activity name
. If a following
request has different tags
values, Step Functions will ignore these
differences and treat it as an idempotent request of the previous. In
this case, tags
will not be updated, even if they are different.
sfn_create_activity(name, tags)
[required] The name of the activity to create. This name must be unique for your AWS account and region for 90 days. For more information, see Limits Related to State Machine Executions in the AWS Step Functions Developer Guide.
A name must not contain:
white space
brackets < > \{ \} \\[ \\]
wildcard characters ? *
special characters \" # \% \\ ^ | ~ \` $ & , ; : /
control characters (U+0000-001F
, U+007F-009F
)
To enable logging with CloudWatch Logs, the name should only contain 0-9, A-Z, a-z, - and \_.
The list of tags to add to a resource.
An array of key-value pairs. For more information, see Using Cost Allocation Tags in the AWS Billing and Cost Management User Guide, and Controlling Access Using IAM Tags.
Tags may only contain Unicode letters, digits, white space, or these
symbols: _ . : / = + - @
.
