Resource

This is a definition of the computational resource that performs the copy operation. In this example, AWS Data Pipeline should automatically create an EC2 instance to perform the copy task and terminate the instance after the task completes. The fields defined here control the creation and function of the instance that does the work. For more information, see Ec2Resource.

The Ec2Resource is defined by the following fields:

{
  "id": "Ec2ResourceId1",
  "schedule": {
    "ref": "ScheduleId1"
  },
  "securityGroups": "MySecurityGroup",
  "name": "DefaultEc2Resource1",
  "role": "DataPipelineDefaultRole",
  "logUri": "s3://myLogs",
  "resourceRole": "DataPipelineDefaultResourceRole",
  "type": "Ec2Resource"
},

id

The user-defined ID, which is a label for your reference only.

schedule

The schedule on which to create this computational resource.

securityGroups

The security group to use for the instances in the resource pool.

name

The user-defined name, which is a label for your reference only.

role

The IAM role of the account that accesses resources, such as accessing an Amazon S3 bucket to retrieve data.

logUri

The Amazon S3 destination path to back up Task Runner logs from the Ec2Resource.

resourceRole

The IAM role of the account that creates resources, such as creating and configuring an EC2 instance on your behalf. Role and ResourceRole can be the same role, but separately provide greater granularity in your security configuration.
