ecctl deployment create

Creates a deployment

Creates a deployment from a file definition or using the defaults from the deployment template. Default values are provided by the deployment template, simplifying the getting started experience. When version is not specified, the latest available stack version will automatically be used. These are the available options:

As an option "--generate-payload" can be used in order to obtain the generated payload that would be sent as a request. Save it, update or extend the topology and create a deployment using the saved payload with the "--file" flag.

ecctl deployment create {--file | --es-size <int> --es-zones <int> | --es-node-topology <obj>} [flags]

## Create a deployment with the default values
$ ecctl deployment create --name my-deployment --deployment-template=aws-io-optimized-v2 --region=us-east-1

## To make the command wait until the resources have been created use the "--track" flag, which will output
the current stage on which the deployment resources are in.
$ ecctl deployment create --name my-deployment --deployment-template=aws-io-optimized-v2 --region=us-east-1 --track

## In order to use the "--deployment-template" flag, you'll need to know which deployment templates ara available to you.
You'll need to run the following command to view your deployment templates:
$ ecctl platform deployment-template list

## Use the "--generate-payload" flag to save the definition to a file for later use.
$ ecctl deployment create --name my-deployment --version=7.11.2 --generate-payload > create_example.json

## Create a deployment through the file definition.
$ ecctl deployment create --file create_example.json --track

## To retry a deployment when the previous deployment creation failed, use the request ID provided in the error response of the previous command:
$ ecctl deployment create --request-id=GMZPMRrcMYqHdmxjIQkHbdjnhPIeBElcwrHwzVlhGUSMXrEIzVXoBykSVRsKncNb
