Class: AWS.DLM

Inherits:
AWS.Service show all
Identifier:
dlm
API Version:
2018-01-12
Defined in:
(unknown)

Overview

Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.

Service Description

With Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager, you can manage the lifecycle of your Amazon Web Services resources. You create lifecycle policies, which are used to automate operations on the specified resources.

Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager supports Amazon EBS volumes and snapshots. For information about using Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager with Amazon EBS, see Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Sending a Request Using DLM

var dlm = new AWS.DLM();
dlm.createLifecyclePolicy(params, function (err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Locking the API Version

In order to ensure that the DLM object uses this specific API, you can construct the object by passing the apiVersion option to the constructor:

var dlm = new AWS.DLM({apiVersion: '2018-01-12'});

You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions using the dlm service identifier:

AWS.config.apiVersions = {
  dlm: '2018-01-12',
  // other service API versions
};

var dlm = new AWS.DLM();

Constructor Details

new AWS.DLM(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Constructs a service object. This object has one method for each API operation.

Examples:

Constructing a DLM object

var dlm = new AWS.DLM({apiVersion: '2018-01-12'});

Options Hash (options):

  • params (map)

    An optional map of parameters to bind to every request sent by this service object. For more information on bound parameters, see "Working with Services" in the Getting Started Guide.

  • endpoint (String|AWS.Endpoint)

    The endpoint URI to send requests to. The default endpoint is built from the configured region. The endpoint should be a string like 'https://{service}.{region}.amazonaws.com' or an Endpoint object.

  • accessKeyId (String)

    your AWS access key ID.

  • secretAccessKey (String)

    your AWS secret access key.

  • sessionToken (AWS.Credentials)

    the optional AWS session token to sign requests with.

  • credentials (AWS.Credentials)

    the AWS credentials to sign requests with. You can either specify this object, or specify the accessKeyId and secretAccessKey options directly.

  • credentialProvider (AWS.CredentialProviderChain)

    the provider chain used to resolve credentials if no static credentials property is set.

  • region (String)

    the region to send service requests to. See AWS.DLM.region for more information.

  • maxRetries (Integer)

    the maximum amount of retries to attempt with a request. See AWS.DLM.maxRetries for more information.

  • maxRedirects (Integer)

    the maximum amount of redirects to follow with a request. See AWS.DLM.maxRedirects for more information.

  • sslEnabled (Boolean)

    whether to enable SSL for requests.

  • paramValidation (Boolean|map)

    whether input parameters should be validated against the operation description before sending the request. Defaults to true. Pass a map to enable any of the following specific validation features:

    • min [Boolean] — Validates that a value meets the min constraint. This is enabled by default when paramValidation is set to true.
    • max [Boolean] — Validates that a value meets the max constraint.
    • pattern [Boolean] — Validates that a string value matches a regular expression.
    • enum [Boolean] — Validates that a string value matches one of the allowable enum values.
  • computeChecksums (Boolean)

    whether to compute checksums for payload bodies when the service accepts it (currently supported in S3 only)

  • convertResponseTypes (Boolean)

    whether types are converted when parsing response data. Currently only supported for JSON based services. Turning this off may improve performance on large response payloads. Defaults to true.

  • correctClockSkew (Boolean)

    whether to apply a clock skew correction and retry requests that fail because of an skewed client clock. Defaults to false.

  • s3ForcePathStyle (Boolean)

    whether to force path style URLs for S3 objects.

  • s3BucketEndpoint (Boolean)

    whether the provided endpoint addresses an individual bucket (false if it addresses the root API endpoint). Note that setting this configuration option requires an endpoint to be provided explicitly to the service constructor.

  • s3DisableBodySigning (Boolean)

    whether S3 body signing should be disabled when using signature version v4. Body signing can only be disabled when using https. Defaults to true.

  • s3UsEast1RegionalEndpoint ('legacy'|'regional')

    when region is set to 'us-east-1', whether to send s3 request to global endpoints or 'us-east-1' regional endpoints. This config is only applicable to S3 client. Defaults to legacy

  • s3UseArnRegion (Boolean)

    whether to override the request region with the region inferred from requested resource's ARN. Only available for S3 buckets Defaults to true

  • retryDelayOptions (map)

    A set of options to configure the retry delay on retryable errors. Currently supported options are:

    • base [Integer] — The base number of milliseconds to use in the exponential backoff for operation retries. Defaults to 100 ms for all services except DynamoDB, where it defaults to 50ms.
    • customBackoff [function] — A custom function that accepts a retry count and error and returns the amount of time to delay in milliseconds. If the result is a non-zero negative value, no further retry attempts will be made. The base option will be ignored if this option is supplied. The function is only called for retryable errors.
  • httpOptions (map)

    A set of options to pass to the low-level HTTP request. Currently supported options are:

    • proxy [String] — the URL to proxy requests through
    • agent [http.Agent, https.Agent] — the Agent object to perform HTTP requests with. Used for connection pooling. Defaults to the global agent (http.globalAgent) for non-SSL connections. Note that for SSL connections, a special Agent object is used in order to enable peer certificate verification. This feature is only available in the Node.js environment.
    • connectTimeout [Integer] — Sets the socket to timeout after failing to establish a connection with the server after connectTimeout milliseconds. This timeout has no effect once a socket connection has been established.
    • timeout [Integer] — Sets the socket to timeout after timeout milliseconds of inactivity on the socket. Defaults to two minutes (120000).
    • xhrAsync [Boolean] — Whether the SDK will send asynchronous HTTP requests. Used in the browser environment only. Set to false to send requests synchronously. Defaults to true (async on).
    • xhrWithCredentials [Boolean] — Sets the "withCredentials" property of an XMLHttpRequest object. Used in the browser environment only. Defaults to false.
  • apiVersion (String, Date)

  • logger (#write, #log)

    an object that responds to .write() (like a stream) or .log() (like the console object) in order to log information about requests

  • systemClockOffset (Number)

    an offset value in milliseconds to apply to all signing times. Use this to compensate for clock skew when your system may be out of sync with the service time. Note that this configuration option can only be applied to the global AWS.config object and cannot be overridden in service-specific configuration. Defaults to 0 milliseconds.

  • signatureVersion (String)

    the signature version to sign requests with (overriding the API configuration). Possible values are: 'v2', 'v3', 'v4'.

        [Custom snapshot and AMI policies only] The location of the resources to backup. If the source resources are located in an Amazon Web Services Region, specify CLOUD. If the source resources are located on an Outpost in your account, specify OUTPOST.

        If you specify OUTPOST, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager backs up all resources of the specified type with matching target tags across all of the Outposts in your account.

      • TargetTags — (Array<map>)

        [Custom snapshot and AMI policies only] The single tag that identifies targeted resources for this policy.

        • Keyrequired — (String)

          The tag key.

        • Valuerequired — (String)

          The tag value.

          The name of the schedule.

        • CopyTags — (Boolean)

          Copy all user-defined tags on a source volume to snapshots of the volume created by this policy.

        • TagsToAdd — (Array<map>)

          The tags to apply to policy-created resources. These user-defined tags are in addition to the Amazon Web Services-added lifecycle tags.

          • Keyrequired — (String)

            The tag key.

          • Valuerequired — (String)

            The tag value.

        • VariableTags — (Array<map>)

          [AMI policies and snapshot policies that target instances only] A collection of key/value pairs with values determined dynamically when the policy is executed. Keys may be any valid Amazon EC2 tag key. Values must be in one of the two following formats: $(instance-id) or $(timestamp). Variable tags are only valid for EBS Snapshot Management – Instance policies.

          • Keyrequired — (String)

            The tag key.

          • Valuerequired — (String)

            The tag value.

        • CreateRule — (map)

          The creation rule.

            If the policy targets resources in an Amazon Web Services Region, then you must create snapshots in the same Region as the source resource. If the policy targets resources on an Outpost, then you can create snapshots on the same Outpost as the source resource, or in the Region of that Outpost.

            Possible values include:
            • "CLOUD"
            • "OUTPOST_LOCAL"
          • Interval — (Integer)

            The operation occurs within a one-hour window following the specified time. If you do not specify a time, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager selects a time within the next 24 hours.

          • CronExpression — (String)

            The schedule, as a Cron expression. The schedule interval must be between 1 hour and 1 year. For more information, see Cron expressions in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.

          • Scripts — (Array<map>)

            [Custom snapshot policies that target instances only] Specifies pre and/or post scripts for a snapshot lifecycle policy that targets instances. This is useful for creating application-consistent snapshots, or for performing specific administrative tasks before or after Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager initiates snapshot creation.

            For more information, see Automating application-consistent snapshots with pre and post scripts.

            • Stages — (Array<String>)

              Indicate which scripts Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager should run on target instances. Pre scripts run before Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager initiates snapshot creation. Post scripts run after Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager initiates snapshot creation.

              • To run a pre script only, specify PRE. In this case, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager calls the SSM document with the pre-script parameter before initiating snapshot creation.

              • To run a post script only, specify POST. In this case, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager calls the SSM document with the post-script parameter after initiating snapshot creation.

              • To run both pre and post scripts, specify both PRE and POST. In this case, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager calls the SSM document with the pre-script parameter before initiating snapshot creation, and then it calls the SSM document again with the post-script parameter after initiating snapshot creation.

              If you are automating VSS Backups, omit this parameter.

              Default: PRE and POST

              • If you are automating application-consistent snapshots for SAP HANA workloads, specify AWSSystemsManagerSAP-CreateDLMSnapshotForSAPHANA.

              • If you are using a custom SSM document that you own, specify either the name or ARN of the SSM document. If you are using a custom SSM document that is shared with you, specify the ARN of the SSM document.

            • ExecuteOperationOnScriptFailure — (Boolean)

              Indicates whether Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager should default to crash-consistent snapshots if the pre script fails.

              Specifies a timeout period, in seconds, after which Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager fails the script run attempt if it has not completed. If a script does not complete within its timeout period, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager fails the attempt. The timeout period applies to the pre and post scripts individually.

              If you are automating VSS Backups, omit this parameter.

              Default: 10

            • MaximumRetryCount — (Integer)

              Specifies the number of times Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager should retry scripts that fail.

              • If the pre script fails, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager retries the entire snapshot creation process, including running the pre and post scripts.

              • If the post script fails, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager retries the post script only; in this case, the pre script will have completed and the snapshot might have been created.

              If you do not want Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to retry failed scripts, specify 0.
