CreateDatalake

Initializes an Amazon Security Lake instance with the provided (or default) configuration. You can enable Security Lake in AWS Regions with customized settings before enabling log collection in Regions. You can either use the enableAll parameter to specify all Regions or specify the Regions where you want to enable Security Lake. To specify particular Regions, use the Regions parameter and then configure these Regions using the configurations parameter. If you have already enabled Security Lake in a Region when you call this command, the command will update the Region if you provide new configuration parameters. If you have not already enabled Security Lake in the Region when you call this API, it will set up the data lake in the Region with the specified configurations.

When you enable Security Lake, it starts ingesting security data after the CreateAwsLogSource call. This includes ingesting security data from sources, storing data, and making data accessible to subscribers. Security Lake also enables all the existing settings and resources that it stores or maintains for your AWS account in the current Region, including security log and event data. For more information, see the Amazon Security Lake User Guide.

Response Syntax


HTTP/1.1 200

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response with an empty HTTP body.

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

AccessDeniedException

You do not have sufficient access to perform this action. Access denied errors appear when Amazon Security Lake explicitly or implicitly denies an authorization request. An explicit denial occurs when a policy contains a Deny statement for the specific AWS action. An implicit denial occurs when there is no applicable Deny statement and also no applicable Allow statement.

HTTP Status Code: 403

ConflictException

Occurs when a conflict with a previous successful write is detected. This generally occurs when the previous write did not have time to propagate to the host serving the current request. A retry (with appropriate backoff logic) is the recommended response to this exception.

HTTP Status Code: 409

InternalServerException

Internal service exceptions are sometimes caused by transient issues. Before you start troubleshooting, perform the operation again.

HTTP Status Code: 500

ResourceNotFoundException

The resource could not be found.

HTTP Status Code: 404

ServiceQuotaExceededException

You have exceeded your service quota. To perform the requested action, remove some of the relevant resources, or use Service Quotas to request a service quota increase.

HTTP Status Code: 402

ThrottlingException

The limit on the number of requests per second was exceeded.

HTTP Status Code: 429

ValidationException

Your signing certificate could not be validated.

HTTP Status Code: 400
