Workflow Action Steps

Defining an Action Step

    - id: <name of step>
      type: action
      action:
        store: <name of action store that defines the action>
        name: <name of action to take>
        parameters: {}

action: Definitions

store:

This allows the workflow creator to select a set of actions from a specific action store. Example:

    action:
        store: aws

This selects the ‘aws’ action store that defines commands to allow for interacting with AWS environments

name:

This allows the workflow creator to select the specific action, from within the store, to use. Example:

    action:
        store: aws
        name: "ecs.ListClusters"

This requests the list of Elastic Container Service Clusters from AWS.

parameters:

This allows the workflow creator to pass any needed parameters into the command stream. Example:

    action:
        store: aws
        name: "ecs.ListServices"
        parameters:
            cluster: {<name of cluster>}

This example passes the name of a cluster to the ECS List Services command. The return would be a list of services that the given cluster uses.

If no parameters are necessary, simply pass an empty set of braces as:

        parameters: {}
