Creating a job to order a Snow Family device
To order a Snow Family device, you create a job to order a Snow Family device in the AWS Snow Family Management Console. A job is a term that AWS uses to describe the lifecycle of the use of a Snow Family device by a customer. A job begins when you order a device, continues when AWS prepares the device and ships it to you and you use it, and completes after AWS receives and processes the device after you return it. Jobs are categorized by type: export, import, and local compute and storage. For more information, see Understanding AWS Snowball Edge jobs.
After you create the job to order a device, you can use the AWS Snow Family Management Console to view the job status and monitor the progress of the device you ordered as AWS prepares the device to ship to you and after it is returned. For more information, see Job Statuses. After the device is returned and processed by AWS, you can access a job completion report and logs through the AWS Snow Family Management Console. For more information, see Getting your job completion report and logs on the console.
You can also create and manage jobs using the job management API. For more information, see the AWS Snowball API Reference.
