# client_waiter

# `prefect_aws.client_waiter`

Task for waiting on a long-running AWS job

## Functions

### `aclient_waiter` <sup>[https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/integrations/prefect-aws/prefect\_aws/client\_waiter.py#L15](https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/integrations/prefect-aws/prefect_aws/client_waiter.py#L15)</sup>

```python theme={null}
aclient_waiter(client: str, waiter_name: str, aws_credentials: AwsCredentials, waiter_definition: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, **waiter_kwargs: Optional[Dict[str, Any]])
```

Asynchronously uses the underlying boto3 waiter functionality.

**Args:**

* `client`: The AWS client on which to wait (e.g., 'client\_wait', 'ec2', etc).
* `waiter_name`: The name of the waiter to instantiate.
  You may also use a custom waiter name, if you supply
  an accompanying waiter definition dict.
* `aws_credentials`: Credentials to use for authentication with AWS.
* `waiter_definition`: A valid custom waiter model, as a dict. Note that if
  you supply a custom definition, it is assumed that the provided
  'waiter\_name' is contained within the waiter definition dict.
* `**waiter_kwargs`: Arguments to pass to the `waiter.wait(...)` method. Will
  depend upon the specific waiter being called.
