  • SourceAmiId (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The ID of the EC2 AMI to import. The AMI must meet specific requirements including Windows Server 2022 Full Base, UEFI boot mode, TPM 2.0 support, and proper drivers.

  • IamRoleArn (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The ARN of the IAM role that allows WorkSpaces Applications to access your AMI. The role must have permissions to modify image attributes and describe images, with a trust relationship allowing appstream.amazonaws.com to assume the role.

  • Description (string) – An optional description for the imported image. The description must match approved regex patterns and can be up to 256 characters.

  • DisplayName (string) – An optional display name for the imported image. The display name must match approved regex patterns and can be up to 100 characters.

  • Tags (dict) –

    The tags to apply to the imported image. Tags help you organize and manage your WorkSpaces Applications resources.

    • (string) –

      • (string) –

  • RuntimeValidationConfig (dict) –

    Configuration for runtime validation of the imported image. When specified, WorkSpaces Applications provisions an instance to test streaming functionality, which helps ensure the image is suitable for use.

    • IntendedInstanceType (string) –

      The instance type to use for runtime validation testing. It’s recommended to use the same instance type you plan to use for your fleet to ensure accurate validation results.

  • AgentSoftwareVersion (string) – The version of the WorkSpaces Applications agent to use for the imported image. Choose CURRENT_LATEST to use the agent version available at the time of import, or ALWAYS_LATEST to automatically update to the latest agent version when new versions are released.

  • AppCatalogConfig (list) –

    Configuration for the application catalog of the imported image. This allows you to specify applications available for streaming, including their paths, icons, and launch parameters. This field contains sensitive data.

    • (dict) –

      Configuration for an application in the imported image’s application catalog. This structure defines how applications appear and launch for users.

      • Name (string) – [REQUIRED]

        The name of the application. This is a required field that must be unique within the application catalog and between 1-100 characters, matching the pattern ^[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]{0,99}$.

      • DisplayName (string) –

        The display name shown to users for this application. This field is optional and can be 0-100 characters, matching the pattern ^[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_. -]{0,99}$.

      • AbsoluteAppPath (string) – [REQUIRED]

        The absolute path to the executable file that launches the application. This is a required field that can be 1-32767 characters to support Windows extended file paths. Use escaped file path strings like “C:\\Windows\\System32\\notepad.exe”.

      • AbsoluteIconPath (string) –

        The absolute path to the icon file for the application. This field is optional and can be 1-32767 characters. If not provided, the icon is derived from the executable. Use PNG images with proper transparency for the best user experience.

      • AbsoluteManifestPath (string) –

        The absolute path to the prewarm manifest file for this application. This field is optional and only applicable when using application-specific manifests. The path can be 1-32767 characters and should point to a text file containing file paths to prewarm.

      • WorkingDirectory (string) –

        The working directory to use when launching the application. This field is optional and can be 0-32767 characters. Use escaped file path strings like “C:\\Path\\To\\Working\\Directory”.

      • LaunchParameters (string) –

        The launch parameters to pass to the application executable. This field is optional and can be 0-1024 characters. Use escaped strings with the full list of required parameters, such as PowerShell script paths or command-line arguments.
