Accessing AWS Storage Gateway

You can use the AWS Storage Gateway console to perform various gateway configuration and maintenance tasks, including activating or removing Storage Gateway hardware appliances from your deployment, creating, managing, and deleting the different types of gateways, creating, managing, and deleting file shares, and monitoring the health and status of various elements of the Storage Gateway service. For simplicity and ease of use, this guide focuses on performing tasks using the Storage Gateway console web interface. You can access the Storage Gateway console through your web browser at: https://console.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/home/.

If you prefer a programmatic approach, you can use the AWS Storage Gateway Application Programming Interface (API) or Command Line Interface (CLI) to set up and manage the resources in your Storage Gateway deployment. For more information about actions, data types, and required syntax for the Storage Gateway API, see the Storage Gateway API Reference. For more information about the Storage Gateway CLI, see the AWS CLI Command Reference.

You can also use the AWS SDKs to develop applications that interact with Storage Gateway. The AWS SDKs for Java, .NET, and PHP wrap the underlying Storage Gateway API to simplify your programming tasks. For information about downloading the SDK libraries, see the AWS Developer Center.
