**To create a server** The following ``create-server`` example creates a new Chef Automate server named ``automate-06`` in your default region. Note that defaults are used for most other settings, such as number of backups to retain, and maintenance and backup start times. Before you run a ``create-server`` command, complete prerequisites in `Getting Started with AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/opsworks/latest/userguide/gettingstarted-opscm.html>`__ in the *AWS Opsworks for Chef Automate User Guide*. :: aws opsworks-cm create-server \ --engine "ChefAutomate" \ --instance-profile-arn "arn:aws:iam::012345678901:instance-profile/aws-opsworks-cm-ec2-role" \ --instance-type "t2.medium" \ --server-name "automate-06" \ --service-role-arn "arn:aws:iam::012345678901:role/aws-opsworks-cm-service-role" Output:: { "Server": { "AssociatePublicIpAddress": true, "BackupRetentionCount": 10, "CreatedAt": 2019-12-29T13:38:47.520Z, "DisableAutomatedBackup": FALSE, "Endpoint": "https://opsworks-cm.us-east-1.amazonaws.com", "Engine": "ChefAutomate", "EngineAttributes": [ { "Name": "CHEF_AUTOMATE_ADMIN_PASSWORD", "Value": "1Example1" } ], "EngineModel": "Single", "EngineVersion": "2019-08", "InstanceProfileArn": "arn:aws:iam::012345678901:instance-profile/aws-opsworks-cm-ec2-role", "InstanceType": "t2.medium", "PreferredBackupWindow": "Sun:02:00", "PreferredMaintenanceWindow": "00:00", "SecurityGroupIds": [ "sg-12345678" ], "ServerArn": "arn:aws:iam::012345678901:instance/automate-06-1010V4UU2WRM2", "ServerName": "automate-06", "ServiceRoleArn": "arn:aws:iam::012345678901:role/aws-opsworks-cm-service-role", "Status": "CREATING", "SubnetIds": [ "subnet-12345678" ] } } For more information, see `CreateServer <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/opsworks-cm/latest/APIReference/API_CreateServer.html>`__ in the *AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate API Reference*.
