Container for the parameters to the CreateCertificateFromCsr operation. Creates an X.509 certificate using the specified certificate signing request.
Note Reusing the same certificate signing request (CSR) results in a distinct certificate.
You can create multiple certificates in a batch by creating a directory, copying multiple .csr files into that directory, and then specifying that directory on the command line. The following commands show how to create a batch of certificates given a batch of CSRs.
Assuming a set of CSRs are located inside of the directory my-csr-directory:
On Linux and OS X, the command is:
$ ls my-csr-directory/ | xargs -I {} aws iot create-certificate-from-csr --certificate-signing-request file://my-csr-directory/{}
This command lists all of the CSRs in my-csr-directory and pipes each CSR file name to the aws iot create-certificate-from-csr AWS CLI command to create a certificate for the corresponding CSR.
The aws iot create-certificate-from-csr part of the command can also be run in parallel to speed up the certificate creation process:
$ ls my-csr-directory/ | xargs -P 10 -I {} aws iot create-certificate-from-csr --certificate-signing-request file://my-csr-directory/{}
On Windows PowerShell, the command to create certificates for all CSRs in my-csr-directory is:
> ls -Name my-csr-directory | %{aws iot create-certificate-from-csr --certificate-signing-request file://my-csr-directory/$_}
On a Windows command prompt, the command to create certificates for all CSRs in my-csr-directory is:
> forfiles /p my-csr-directory /c "cmd /c aws iot create-certificate-from-csr --certificate-signing-request file://@path"
