Understanding AWS Snowcone Job Statuses

When you create an AWS Snowcone job, it transitions through the job statuses and status is shown on the AWS Snow Family Management Console.

To see the status of a job

1. Log into the AWS Snow Family Management Console.

2. On the Job dashboard, choose the job.

3. Click on your job name within the console.

4. The Job Status pane will be located near the top and reflects the status of the job.

Note

If we are unable to import data to our data centers from the Snow device due to any issue with access permissions you have configured, we will attempt to notify you and you will have 30 days from the date we provide the notification to resolve the issue. If the issue is not resolved, we may cancel your AWS Snow Family job and delete data from the device.
