API for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud¶

ABAP Package	`/AWS1/API_EC2`
ABAP SDK "TLA"	`EC2`
ABAP Interface	`/AWS1/IF_EC2`

The "TLA" is a Three Letter Abbreviation that appears in ABAP class names, data dictionary objects and other ABAP objects throughout the AWS SDK for SAP ABAP. The TLA for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud is EC2. This TLA helps squeeze ABAP objects into the 30-character length limit of the ABAP data dictionary.

Installation¶

To install the AWS SDK for SAP ABAP, import the Core transport, along with the transport for the EC2 module and other API modules you are interested in. A few modules are included in the Core transport itself. For more information, see the Developer Guide guide.

About The Service¶

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) provides secure and resizable computing capacity in the Amazon Web Services Cloud. Using Amazon EC2 eliminates the need to invest in hardware up front, so you can develop and deploy applications faster. Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) enables you to provision a logically isolated section of the Amazon Web Services Cloud where you can launch Amazon Web Services resources in a virtual network that you've defined. Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) provides block level storage volumes for use with EC2 instances. EBS volumes are highly available and reliable storage volumes that can be attached to any running instance and used like a hard drive.

To learn more, see the following resources:

Using the SDK¶

In your code, create a client using the SDK module for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, which is created with factory method /AWS1/CL_EC2_FACTORY=>CREATE(). In this example we will assume you have configured an SDK profile in transaction /AWS1/IMG called ZFINANCE.

DATA(go_session)   = /aws1/cl_rt_session_aws=>create( 'ZFINANCE' ).
DATA(go_ec2)       = /aws1/cl_ec2_factory=>create( go_session ).

Your variable go_ec2 is an instance of /AWS1/IF_EC2, and all of the operations in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud service are accessed by calling methods in /AWS1/IF_EC2.

API Operations¶

For an overview of ABAP method calls corresponding to API operations in Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, see the Operation List.

Factory Method¶

`/AWS1/CL_EC2_FACTORY=>CREATE( )`¶

Creates an object of type /AWS1/IF_EC2.

IMPORTING¶

Required arguments:¶

`IO_SESSION` `TYPE REF TO` `/AWS1/CL_RT_SESSION_BASE`¶

Optional arguments:¶

`IV_PROTOCOL` `TYPE` `/AWS1/RT_PROTOCOL`¶

`IV_REGION` `TYPE` `/AWS1/RT_REGION_ID`¶

`IV_CUSTOM_ENDPOINT` `TYPE` `/AWS1/RT_ENDPOINT`¶

RETURNING¶

`OO_CLIENT` `TYPE REF TO` `/AWS1/IF_EC2`¶

/AWS1/IF_EC2 represents the ABAP client for the EC2 service, representing each operation as a method call. For more information see the API Page page.
