  title: 'AWS Step Functions #X Amz Target=AWSStepFunctions.CreateStateMachineAlias API'
  description: <fullname>Step Functions</fullname> <p>Step Functions is a service that lets you coordinate the components of distributed applications and microservices using visual workflows.</p> <p>You can use Step Functions to build applications from individual components, each of which performs a discrete function, or <i>task</i>, allowing you to scale and change applications quickly. Step Functions provides a console that helps visualize the components of your application as a series of steps. Step Functions automatically triggers and tracks each step, and retries steps when there are errors, so your application executes predictably and in the right order every time. Step Functions logs the state of each step, so you can quickly diagnose and debug any issues.</p> <p>Step Functions manages operations and underlying infrastructure to ensure your application is available at any scale. You can run tasks on Amazon Web Services, your own servers, or any system that has access to Amazon Web Services. You can access and use Step Functions using the console, the Amazon Web Services SDKs, or an HTTP API. For more information about Step Functions, see the <i> <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/dg/welcome.html">Step Functions Developer Guide</a> </i>.</p>

      description: <p>Creates an <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/dg/concepts-state-machine-alias.html">alias</a> for a state machine that points to one or two <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/dg/concepts-state-machine-version.html">versions</a> of the same state machine. You can set your application to call <a>StartExecution</a> with an alias and update the version the alias uses without changing the client's code.</p> <p>You can also map an alias to split <a>StartExecution</a> requests between two versions of a state machine. To do this, add a second <code>RoutingConfig</code> object in the <code>routingConfiguration</code> parameter. You must also specify the percentage of execution run requests each version should receive in both <code>RoutingConfig</code> objects. Step Functions randomly chooses which version runs a given execution based on the percentage you specify.</p> <p>To create an alias that points to a single version, specify a single <code>RoutingConfig</code> object with a <code>weight</code> set to 100.</p> <p>You can create up to 100 aliases for each state machine. You must delete unused aliases using the <a>DeleteStateMachineAlias</a> API action.</p> <p> <code>CreateStateMachineAlias</code> is an idempotent API. Step Functions bases the idempotency check on the <code>stateMachineArn</code>, <code>description</code>, <code>name</code>, and <code>routingConfiguration</code> parameters. Requests that contain the same values for these parameters return a successful idempotent response without creating a duplicate resource.</p> <p> <b>Related operations:</b> </p> <ul> <li> <p> <a>DescribeStateMachineAlias</a> </p> </li> <li> <p> <a>ListStateMachineAliases</a> </p> </li> <li> <p> <a>UpdateStateMachineAlias</a> </p> </li> <li> <p> <a>DeleteStateMachineAlias</a> </p> </li> </ul>
