How to wait for an application

The amc wait command instructs AMS to wait for an application to reach a specific condition. If the condition is not satisfied within the specified time (five minutes by default), a timeout error will be returned by AMS.

The supported conditions for an application are as follows:

Name

Value

instance-type

Supported instance type. See Instance type for a list of available instance types. This attribute is deprecated since 1.20 and will be removed in future releases.

addons

Comma-separated list of addons.

tag

Application tag name (deprecated, use tags instead).

tags

Comma-separated list of tags.

published

“true” or “false” indicating whether the application is published.

immutable

“true” or “false” indicating whether the application is changeable.

status

Application status, possible values: error, unknown, initializing, ready, deleted. See Possible application statuses for more information.

One example of using the amc wait command is to wait for the application bootstrap process to be done, since the application bootstrap is performed asynchronously by the AMS service and takes some time to process. The application cannot be used until the bootstrap is complete and the status is marked as ready.
