Create an AWS IoT FleetWise fleet

You can use the CreateFleet API operation to create a vehicle fleet. The following example uses AWS CLI.

Important

You must have a signal catalog before you can create a fleet. For more information, see Create an AWS IoT FleetWise signal catalog.

To create a fleet, run the following command.

  • Replace fleet-id with the ID of the fleet that you're creating.

    The fleet ID must be unique and have 1-100 characters. Valid characters: letters (A-Z and a-z), numbers (0-9), colons (:), dashes (-), and underscores (_).

  • (Optional) Replace description with a description.

    The description can have 1-2048 characters.

  • Replace signal-catalog-arn with the ARN of the signal catalog.

aws iotfleetwise create-fleet \
   --fleet-id fleet-id \
   --description description \
   --signal-catalog-arn signal-catalog-arn

If you enabled encryption using a customer managed AWS KMS key, include the following policy statement so that your role can invoke the CreateFleet API operation.
