The ACS::SelectTargets action allows you to select multiple resources at a time when you create an execution.
Description
If you create an execution based on a template that uses the ACS::SelectTargets action and in which the AssociationProperty parameter is set to Targets, you can switch among the methods to select resources without modifying the template. When you create an execution, you can select multiple resources at a time during parameter setting by using the following methods: select specific resources, specify resource tags, select all resources, upload a CSV file that contains resource IDs, and specify an inventory.

AssociationProperty: Targets # The action used for the parameter. If the action is ACS::SelectTargets, set the value to Targets.
AssociationPropertyMetadata: # The description of the resources to be selected.
ResourceType: ALIYUN::ECS::Instance # The type of the resources to be selected.
# ALIYUN::ECS::Instance The resources are Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances.
# ALIYUN::ECD::Desktop The resources are for Alibaba Cloud WUYING Workspace.
# ALIYUN::RDS::Instance The resources are ApsaraDB RDS instances.
# ALIYUN::Redis::Instance The resources are ApsaraDB for Redis instances.
# ALIYUN::MongoDB::Instance The resources are ApsaraDB for MongoDB instances.
# ALIYUN::ECS::ManagedInstance The resources are managed ECS instances.
# ALIYUN::ComputeNestSupplier::Instance The resources are Compute Nest service instances.
Tasks:
- Name: getInstance # The name of the task.
Action: 'ACS::SelectTargets' # The action used to select resources.
Properties:
ResourceType: 'ALIYUN::ECS::Instance' # The type of the resources to be selected.
Filters: # The resources to be filtered.
- '{{ targets }}' # The name of the parameter that specifies the resources to be selected.
Outputs: # The output of the task.
instanceIds: # The name of the output parameter.
Type: List # The type of the output parameter.
ValueSelector: 'Instances.Instance[].InstanceId' # The jQuery selector used to select the required JSON data. For example, for ECS instances, the jQuery selector selects the instances returned by the DescribeInstances operation.{
