Description

Creates an Amazon Q Business index.

To determine if index creation has completed, check the Status field returned from a call to DescribeIndex . The Status field is set to ACTIVE when the index is ready to use.

Once the index is active, you can index your documents using the ` BatchPutDocument https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/api-reference/API_BatchPutDocument.html`__ API or the ` CreateDataSource https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/api-reference/API_CreateDataSource.html`__ API.

--client-token (string)

A token that you provide to identify the request to create an index. Multiple calls to the CreateIndex API with the same client token will create only one index.

If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
