The body of the new version is supplied in the file ``template.json``. :: aws iot create-provisioning-template-version \ --template-name widget-template \ --template-body file://template.json Contents of ``template.json``:: { "Parameters" : { "DeviceLocation": { "Type": "String" } }, "Mappings": { "LocationTable": { "Seattle": { "LocationUrl": "https://example.aws" } } }, "Resources" : { "thing" : { "Type" : "AWS::IoT::Thing", "Properties" : { "AttributePayload" : { "version" : "v1", "serialNumber" : "serialNumber" }, "ThingName" : {"Fn::Join":["",["ThingPrefix_",{"Ref":"SerialNumber"}]]}, "ThingTypeName" : {"Fn::Join":["",["ThingTypePrefix_",{"Ref":"SerialNumber"}]]}, "ThingGroups" : ["widgets", "WA"], "BillingGroup": "BillingGroup" }, "OverrideSettings" : { "AttributePayload" : "MERGE", "ThingTypeName" : "REPLACE", "ThingGroups" : "DO_NOTHING" } }, "certificate" : { "Type" : "AWS::IoT::Certificate", "Properties" : { "CertificateId": {"Ref": "AWS::IoT::Certificate::Id"}, "Status" : "Active" } }, "policy" : { "Type" : "AWS::IoT::Policy", "Properties" : { "PolicyDocument" : { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [{ "Effect": "Allow", "Action":["iot:Publish"], "Resource": ["arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:123456789012:topic/foo/bar"] }] } } } }, "DeviceConfiguration": { "FallbackUrl": "https://www.example.com/test-site", "LocationUrl": { "Fn::FindInMap": ["LocationTable",{"Ref": "DeviceLocation"}, "LocationUrl"]} } } } Output:: { "templateArn": "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:123456789012:provisioningtemplate/widget-template", "templateName": "widget-template", "versionId": 2, "isDefaultVersion": false } For more information, see `AWS IoT Secure Tunneling <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/secure-tunneling.html>`__ in the *AWS IoT Core Developer Guide*.
