BOTO3 Waiter Types for SSM

Does anyone know the available waiter types for SSM? The BOTO3 documentation is missing a section. It says "See the waiters section", but there is no such a section.

Googling online didn't help much, as it's not a common topic at all.

Solution

  • You can verify this as follows:

    ssm = boto3.client('ssm')

print(ssm.waiter_names)

    This will print out empty array:

    []

    For comparison, for ec2:

    ec2 = boto3.client('ec2')

print(ec2.waiter_names)

    Will give (not all shown): 

    ['export_task_completed',
 'image_available',
 'image_exists',
 'instance_exists',
 'instance_running',
 'instance_status_ok',
 'instance_stopped',
 'subnet_available',
 'system_status_ok',
 'volume_available',
 'volume_deleted',
 'volume_in_use',
 'vpc_available',
 'vpc_exists',
 'vpc_peering_connection_deleted',
 'vpc_peering_connection_exists',
 'vpn_connection_available',
 'vpn_connection_deleted']

    get_waiter method is probably inherited from some parent class.
