Required: No

JobType

The type of job for this cluster. Currently, the only job type supported for clusters is LOCAL_USE.

For information about Snow Family device types, see Snow Family Devices and Capacity in the SnowCone User Guide or Snow Family Devices and Capacity in the Snowball Edge User Guide.

Type: String

Valid Values: IMPORT | EXPORT | LOCAL_USE

Required: Yes

KmsKeyARN

The KmsKeyARN value that you want to associate with this cluster. KmsKeyARN values are created by using the CreateKey API action in AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS).

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 255.

The RoleARN that you want to associate with this cluster. RoleArn values are created by using the CreateRole API action in AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM).

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 255.

Pattern: arn:aws.*:iam::[0-9]{12}:role/.*

Required: Yes

ShippingOption

The shipping speed for each node in this cluster. This speed doesn't dictate how soon you'll get each Snowball Edge device, rather it represents how quickly each device moves to its destination while in transit. Regional shipping speeds are as follows:

In Australia, you have access to express shipping. Typically, Snow devices shipped express are delivered in about a day.
In the European Union (EU), you have access to express shipping. Typically, Snow devices shipped express are delivered in about a day. In addition, most countries in the EU have access to standard shipping, which typically takes less than a week, one way.
In India, Snow device are delivered in one to seven days.
In the United States of America (US), you have access to one-day shipping and two-day shipping.
