DataSync examples using AWS CLI

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the AWS Command Line Interface with DataSync.

Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

The following code example shows how to use update-location-azure-blob.

AWS CLI

To update your transfer location with a new agent

The following update-location-object-storage example updates your DataSync location for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage with a new agent.

aws datasync update-location-azure-blob \
    --location-arn arn:aws:datasync:us-west-2:123456789012:location/loc-abcdef01234567890 \
    --agent-arns arn:aws:datasync:us-west-2:123456789012:agent/agent-1234567890abcdef0 \
    --sas-configuration '{ \
        "Token": "sas-token-for-azure-blob-storage-access" \
    }'

This command produces no output.

The following code example shows how to use update-location-hdfs.

AWS CLI

To update your transfer location with a new agent

The following update-location-hdfs example updates your DataSync HDFS location with a new agent. You only need the --kerberos-keytab and --kerberos-krb5-conf options if your HDFS cluster uses Kerberos authentication.

aws datasync update-location-hdfs \
    --location-arn arn:aws:datasync:us-west-2:123456789012:location/loc-abcdef01234567890 \
    --agent-arns arn:aws:datasync:us-west-2:123456789012:agent/agent-1234567890abcdef0 \
    --kerberos-keytab file://hdfs.keytab
    --kerberos-krb5-conf file://krb5.conf

Contents of hdfs.keytab:

N/A. The content of this file is encrypted and not human readable.

Contents of krb5.conf:
