IT_TAGS TYPE /AWS1/CL_DLMTAGMAP_W=>TT_TAGMAP TT_TAGMAP¶
The tags to apply to the lifecycle policy during creation.
IV_DEFAULTPOLICY TYPE /AWS1/DLMDEFPOLICYTYPEVALUES /AWS1/DLMDEFPOLICYTYPEVALUES¶
[Default policies only] Specify the type of default policy to create.
To create a default policy for EBS snapshots, that creates snapshots of all volumes in the Region that do not have recent backups, specify
VOLUME.To create a default policy for EBS-backed AMIs, that creates EBS-backed AMIs from all instances in the Region that do not have recent backups, specify
INSTANCE.
IV_CREATEINTERVAL TYPE /AWS1/DLMCREATEINTERVAL /AWS1/DLMCREATEINTERVAL¶
[Default policies only] Specifies how often the policy should run and create snapshots or AMIs. The creation frequency can range from 1 to 7 days. If you do not specify a value, the default is 1.
Default: 1
IV_RETAININTERVAL TYPE /AWS1/DLMRETAININTERVAL /AWS1/DLMRETAININTERVAL¶
[Default policies only] Specifies how long the policy should retain snapshots or AMIs before deleting them. The retention period can range from 2 to 14 days, but it must be greater than the creation frequency to ensure that the policy retains at least 1 snapshot or AMI at any given time. If you do not specify a value, the default is 7.
Default: 7
IV_COPYTAGS TYPE /AWS1/DLMCOPYTAGSNULLABLE /AWS1/DLMCOPYTAGSNULLABLE¶
[Default policies only] Indicates whether the policy should copy tags from the source resource to the snapshot or AMI. If you do not specify a value, the default is

IV_EXTENDDELETION TYPE /AWS1/DLMEXTENDDELETION /AWS1/DLMEXTENDDELETION¶
[Default policies only] Defines the snapshot or AMI retention behavior for the policy if the source volume or instance is deleted, or if the policy enters the error, disabled, or deleted state.

If you want Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to delete all snapshots or AMIs, including the last one, specify
true.If a policy enters the error, disabled, or deleted state, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager stops deleting snapshots and AMIs. If you want Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to continue deleting snapshots or AMIs, including the last one, if the policy enters one of these states, specify
true.If you enable extended deletion (ExtendDeletion=true), you override both default behaviors simultaneously.
If you do not specify a value, the default is
false.Default: false
IT_CROSSREGIONCOPYTARGETS TYPE /AWS1/CL_DLMCROSSREGIONCOPYTGT=>TT_CROSSREGIONCOPYTARGETLIST TT_CROSSREGIONCOPYTARGETLIST¶
[Default policies only] Specifies destination Regions for snapshot or AMI copies. You can specify up to 3 destination Regions. If you do not want to create cross-Region copies, omit this parameter.
