    acceleratorTypes=[
        'string',
    ]

type locationType

string

param locationType

[REQUIRED]

The location type that you want to describe accelerator type offerings for. It can assume the following values: region: will return the accelerator type offering at the regional level. availability-zone: will return the accelerator type offering at the availability zone level. availability-zone-id: will return the accelerator type offering at the availability zone level returning the availability zone id.

type acceleratorTypes

list

param acceleratorTypes

The list of accelerator types to describe.

  • (string) --

rtype

dict

returns

Response Syntax

      The list of accelerator type offerings for a specific location.

      • (dict) --

        The offering for an Elastic Inference Accelerator type.

        • acceleratorType (string) --

          The name of the Elastic Inference Accelerator type.

        • locationType (string) --

          The location type for the offering. It can assume the following values: region: defines that the offering is at the regional level. availability-zone: defines that the offering is at the availability zone level. availability-zone-id: defines that the offering is at the availability zone level, defined by the availability zone id.

        • location (string) --

          The location for the offering. It will return either the region, availability zone or availability zone id for the offering depending on the locationType value.

      The values for the filter of the Elastic Inference Accelerator list.

      • (string) --

type maxResults

integer

param maxResults

The total number of items to return in the command's output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command's output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

type nextToken
