Overview

Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.

Service Description

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) provides simple, scalable file storage for use with Amazon EC2 Linux and Mac instances in the Amazon Web Services Cloud. With Amazon EFS, storage capacity is elastic, growing and shrinking automatically as you add and remove files, so that your applications have the storage they need, when they need it. For more information, see the Amazon Elastic File System API Reference and the Amazon Elastic File System User Guide.

Sending a Request Using EFS

var efs = new AWS.EFS();
efs.createMountTarget(params, function (err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Locking the API Version

In order to ensure that the EFS object uses this specific API, you can construct the object by passing the apiVersion option to the constructor:

var efs = new AWS.EFS({apiVersion: '2015-02-01'});

You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions using the efs service identifier:

AWS.config.apiVersions = {
  efs: '2015-02-01',
  // other service API versions
};

var efs = new AWS.EFS();

Method Details

createAccessPoint(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Creates an EFS access point. An access point is an application-specific view into an EFS file system that applies an operating system user and group, and a file system path, to any file system request made through the access point. The operating system user and group override any identity information provided by the NFS client. The file system path is exposed as the access point's root directory. Applications using the access point can only access data in the application's own directory and any subdirectories. To learn more, see Mounting a file system using EFS access points.

Note: If multiple requests to create access points on the same file system are sent in quick succession, and the file system is near the limit of 1,000 access points, you may experience a throttling response for these requests. This is to ensure that the file system does not exceed the stated access point limit.

This operation requires permissions for the elasticfilesystem:CreateAccessPoint action.

Access points can be tagged on creation. If tags are specified in the creation action, IAM performs additional authorization on the elasticfilesystem:TagResource action to verify if users have permissions to create tags. Therefore, you must grant explicit permissions to use the elasticfilesystem:TagResource action. For more information, see Granting permissions to tag resources during creation.

    • RootDirectory — (map)

      Specifies the directory on the EFS file system that the access point exposes as the root directory of your file system to NFS clients using the access point. The clients using the access point can only access the root directory and below. If the RootDirectory > Path specified does not exist, Amazon EFS creates it and applies the CreationInfo settings when a client connects to an access point. When specifying a RootDirectory, you must provide the Path, and the CreationInfo.

      Amazon EFS creates a root directory only if you have provided the CreationInfo: OwnUid, OwnGID, and permissions for the directory. If you do not provide this information, Amazon EFS does not create the root directory. If the root directory does not exist, attempts to mount using the access point will fail.

      • Path — (String)

        Specifies the path on the EFS file system to expose as the root directory to NFS clients using the access point to access the EFS file system. A path can have up to four subdirectories. If the specified path does not exist, you are required to provide the CreationInfo.

      • CreationInfo — (map)

        (Optional) Specifies the POSIX IDs and permissions to apply to the access point's RootDirectory. If the RootDirectory > Path specified does not exist, EFS creates the root directory using the CreationInfo settings when a client connects to an access point. When specifying the CreationInfo, you must provide values for all properties.

        If you do not provide CreationInfo and the specified RootDirectory > Path does not exist, attempts to mount the file system using the access point will fail.

        • OwnerUidrequired — (Integer)

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

createFileSystem(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Creates a new, empty file system. The operation requires a creation token in the request that Amazon EFS uses to ensure idempotent creation (calling the operation with same creation token has no effect). If a file system does not currently exist that is owned by the caller's Amazon Web Services account with the specified creation token, this operation does the following:

  • Creates a new, empty file system. The file system will have an Amazon EFS assigned ID, and an initial lifecycle state creating.

  • Returns with the description of the created file system.

Otherwise, this operation returns a FileSystemAlreadyExists error with the ID of the existing file system.

Note: For basic use cases, you can use a randomly generated UUID for the creation token.

The idempotent operation allows you to retry a CreateFileSystem call without risk of creating an extra file system. This can happen when an initial call fails in a way that leaves it uncertain whether or not a file system was actually created. An example might be that a transport level timeout occurred or your connection was reset. As long as you use the same creation token, if the initial call had succeeded in creating a file system, the client can learn of its existence from the FileSystemAlreadyExists error.

For more information, see Creating a file system in the Amazon EFS User Guide.

Note: The CreateFileSystem call returns while the file system's lifecycle state is still creating. You can check the file system creation status by calling the DescribeFileSystems operation, which among other things returns the file system state.

This operation accepts an optional PerformanceMode parameter that you choose for your file system. We recommend generalPurpose performance mode for all file systems. File systems using the maxIO mode is a previous generation performance type that is designed for highly parallelized workloads that can tolerate higher latencies than the General Purpose mode. Max I/O mode is not supported for One Zone file systems or file systems that use Elastic throughput.

Due to the higher per-operation latencies with Max I/O, we recommend using General Purpose performance mode for all file systems.

The performance mode can't be changed after the file system has been created. For more information, see Amazon EFS performance modes.

You can set the throughput mode for the file system using the ThroughputMode parameter.

After the file system is fully created, Amazon EFS sets its lifecycle state to available, at which point you can create one or more mount targets for the file system in your VPC. For more information, see CreateMountTarget. You mount your Amazon EFS file system on an EC2 instances in your VPC by using the mount target. For more information, see Amazon EFS: How it Works.

This operation requires permissions for the elasticfilesystem:CreateFileSystem action.

File systems can be tagged on creation. If tags are specified in the creation action, IAM performs additional authorization on the elasticfilesystem:TagResource action to verify if users have permissions to create tags. Therefore, you must grant explicit permissions to use the elasticfilesystem:TagResource action. For more information, see Granting permissions to tag resources during creation.

  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • CreationToken — (String)

      A string of up to 64 ASCII characters. Amazon EFS uses this to ensure idempotent creation.

      If a token is not provided, the SDK will use a version 4 UUID.
    • PerformanceMode — (String)

      The Performance mode of the file system. We recommend generalPurpose performance mode for all file systems. File systems using the maxIO performance mode can scale to higher levels of aggregate throughput and operations per second with a tradeoff of slightly higher latencies for most file operations. The performance mode can't be changed after the file system has been created. The maxIO mode is not supported on One Zone file systems.

      Due to the higher per-operation latencies with Max I/O, we recommend using General Purpose performance mode for all file systems.

      Default is generalPurpose.

      Possible values include:
      • "generalPurpose"
      • "maxIO"
    • Encrypted — (Boolean)

      A Boolean value that, if true, creates an encrypted file system. When creating an encrypted file system, you have the option of specifying an existing Key Management Service key (KMS key). If you don't specify a KMS key, then the default KMS key for Amazon EFS, /aws/elasticfilesystem, is used to protect the encrypted file system.

    • KmsKeyId — (String)

      The ID of the KMS key that you want to use to protect the encrypted file system. This parameter is required only if you want to use a non-default KMS key. If this parameter is not specified, the default KMS key for Amazon EFS is used. You can specify a KMS key ID using the following formats:

      • Key ID - A unique identifier of the key, for example 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.

      • ARN - An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the key, for example arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.

      • Key alias - A previously created display name for a key, for example alias/projectKey1.

      • Key alias ARN - An ARN for a key alias, for example arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:444455556666:alias/projectKey1.

      If you use KmsKeyId, you must set the CreateFileSystemRequest$Encrypted parameter to true.

      EFS accepts only symmetric KMS keys. You cannot use asymmetric KMS keys with Amazon EFS file systems.

    • ThroughputMode — (String)

      Specifies the throughput mode for the file system. The mode can be bursting, provisioned, or elastic. If you set ThroughputMode to provisioned, you must also set a value for ProvisionedThroughputInMibps. After you create the file system, you can decrease your file system's Provisioned throughput or change between the throughput modes, with certain time restrictions. For more information, see Specifying throughput with provisioned mode in the Amazon EFS User Guide.

      Default is bursting.

      Possible values include:
      • "bursting"
      • "provisioned"
      • "elastic"
    • ProvisionedThroughputInMibps — (Float)

      The throughput, measured in mebibytes per second (MiBps), that you want to provision for a file system that you're creating. Required if ThroughputMode is set to provisioned. Valid values are 1-3414 MiBps, with the upper limit depending on Region. To increase this limit, contact Amazon Web Services Support. For more information, see Amazon EFS quotas that you can increase in the Amazon EFS User Guide.

    • AvailabilityZoneName — (String)

      Used to create a One Zone file system. It specifies the Amazon Web Services Availability Zone in which to create the file system. Use the format us-east-1a to specify the Availability Zone. For more information about One Zone file systems, see Using EFS storage classes in the Amazon EFS User Guide.

createMountTarget(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Creates a mount target for a file system. You can then mount the file system on EC2 instances by using the mount target.

You can create one mount target in each Availability Zone in your VPC. All EC2 instances in a VPC within a given Availability Zone share a single mount target for a given file system. If you have multiple subnets in an Availability Zone, you create a mount target in one of the subnets. EC2 instances do not need to be in the same subnet as the mount target in order to access their file system.

You can create only one mount target for a One Zone file system. You must create that mount target in the same Availability Zone in which the file system is located. Use the AvailabilityZoneName and AvailabiltyZoneId properties in the DescribeFileSystems response object to get this information. Use the subnetId associated with the file system's Availability Zone when creating the mount target.

For more information, see Amazon EFS: How it Works.

To create a mount target for a file system, the file system's lifecycle state must be available. For more information, see DescribeFileSystems.

In the request, provide the following:

  • The file system ID for which you are creating the mount target.

  • A subnet ID, which determines the following:

    • The VPC in which Amazon EFS creates the mount target

    • The Availability Zone in which Amazon EFS creates the mount target

    • The IP address range from which Amazon EFS selects the IP address of the mount target (if you don't specify an IP address in the request)

After creating the mount target, Amazon EFS returns a response that includes, a MountTargetId and an IpAddress. You use this IP address when mounting the file system in an EC2 instance. You can also use the mount target's DNS name when mounting the file system. The EC2 instance on which you mount the file system by using the mount target can resolve the mount target's DNS name to its IP address. For more information, see How it Works: Implementation Overview.

Note that you can create mount targets for a file system in only one VPC, and there can be only one mount target per Availability Zone. That is, if the file system already has one or more mount targets created for it, the subnet specified in the request to add another mount target must meet the following requirements:

  • Must belong to the same VPC as the subnets of the existing mount targets

  • Must not be in the same Availability Zone as any of the subnets of the existing mount targets

If the request satisfies the requirements, Amazon EFS does the following:

  • Creates a new mount target in the specified subnet.

  • Also creates a new network interface in the subnet as follows:

    • If the request provides an IpAddress, Amazon EFS assigns that IP address to the network interface. Otherwise, Amazon EFS assigns a free address in the subnet (in the same way that the Amazon EC2 CreateNetworkInterface call does when a request does not specify a primary private IP address).

    • If the request provides SecurityGroups, this network interface is associated with those security groups. Otherwise, it belongs to the default security group for the subnet's VPC.

    • Assigns the description Mount target fsmt-id for file system fs-id where fsmt-id is the mount target ID, and fs-id is the FileSystemId.

    • Sets the requesterManaged property of the network interface to true, and the requesterId value to EFS.

    Each Amazon EFS mount target has one corresponding requester-managed EC2 network interface. After the network interface is created, Amazon EFS sets the NetworkInterfaceId field in the mount target's description to the network interface ID, and the IpAddress field to its address. If network interface creation fails, the entire CreateMountTarget operation fails.

Note: The CreateMountTarget call returns only after creating the network interface, but while the mount target state is still creating, you can check the mount target creation status by calling the DescribeMountTargets operation, which among other things returns the mount target state.

We recommend that you create a mount target in each of the Availability Zones. There are cost considerations for using a file system in an Availability Zone through a mount target created in another Availability Zone. For more information, see Amazon EFS. In addition, by always using a mount target local to the instance's Availability Zone, you eliminate a partial failure scenario. If the Availability Zone in which your mount target is created goes down, then you can't access your file system through that mount target.

This operation requires permissions for the following action on the file system:

  • elasticfilesystem:CreateMountTarget

This operation also requires permissions for the following Amazon EC2 actions:

  • ec2:DescribeSubnets

  • ec2:DescribeNetworkInterfaces

  • ec2:CreateNetworkInterface

createReplicationConfiguration(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Creates a replication configuration that replicates an existing EFS file system to a new, read-only file system. For more information, see Amazon EFS replication in the Amazon EFS User Guide. The replication configuration specifies the following:

  • Source file system – The EFS file system that you want replicated. The source file system cannot be a destination file system in an existing replication configuration.

  • Amazon Web Services Region – The Amazon Web Services Region in which the destination file system is created. Amazon EFS replication is available in all Amazon Web Services Regions in which EFS is available. The Region must be enabled. For more information, see Managing Amazon Web Services Regions in the Amazon Web Services General Reference Reference Guide.

  • Destination file system configuration – The configuration of the destination file system to which the source file system will be replicated. There can only be one destination file system in a replication configuration.

    Parameters for the replication configuration include:

    • File system ID – The ID of the destination file system for the replication. If no ID is provided, then EFS creates a new file system with the default settings. For existing file systems, the file system's replication overwrite protection must be disabled. For more information, see Replicating to an existing file system.

    • Availability Zone – If you want the destination file system to use One Zone storage, you must specify the Availability Zone to create the file system in. For more information, see EFS file system types in the Amazon EFS User Guide.

    • Encryption – All destination file systems are created with encryption at rest enabled. You can specify the Key Management Service (KMS) key that is used to encrypt the destination file system. If you don't specify a KMS key, your service-managed KMS key for Amazon EFS is used.

      Note: After the file system is created, you cannot change the KMS key.
Note: After the file system is created, you cannot change the KMS key.

For new destination file systems, the following properties are set by default:

  • Performance mode - The destination file system's performance mode matches that of the source file system, unless the destination file system uses EFS One Zone storage. In that case, the General Purpose performance mode is used. The performance mode cannot be changed.

  • Throughput mode - The destination file system's throughput mode matches that of the source file system. After the file system is created, you can modify the throughput mode.

  • Lifecycle management – Lifecycle management is not enabled on the destination file system. After the destination file system is created, you can enable lifecycle management.

  • Automatic backups – Automatic daily backups are enabled on the destination file system. After the file system is created, you can change this setting.

For more information, see Amazon EFS replication in the Amazon EFS User Guide.

Deletes the specified access point. After deletion is complete, new clients can no longer connect to the access points. Clients connected to the access point at the time of deletion will continue to function until they terminate their connection.

This operation requires permissions for the elasticfilesystem:DeleteAccessPoint action.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the deleteAccessPoint operation

var params = {
  AccessPointId: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
};
efs.deleteAccessPoint(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • AccessPointId — (String)

      The ID of the access point that you want to delete.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

deleteFileSystem(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Deletes a file system, permanently severing access to its contents. Upon return, the file system no longer exists and you can't access any contents of the deleted file system.

You need to manually delete mount targets attached to a file system before you can delete an EFS file system. This step is performed for you when you use the Amazon Web Services console to delete a file system.

Note: You cannot delete a file system that is part of an EFS Replication configuration. You need to delete the replication configuration first.

You can't delete a file system that is in use. That is, if the file system has any mount targets, you must first delete them. For more information, see DescribeMountTargets and DeleteMountTarget.

Note: The DeleteFileSystem call returns while the file system state is still deleting. You can check the file system deletion status by calling the DescribeFileSystems operation, which returns a list of file systems in your account. If you pass file system ID or creation token for the deleted file system, the DescribeFileSystems returns a 404 FileSystemNotFound error.

This operation requires permissions for the elasticfilesystem:DeleteFileSystem action.

Service Reference:

Examples:

To delete a file system


/* This operation deletes an EFS file system. */

 var params = {
  FileSystemId: "fs-01234567"

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the deleteFileSystemPolicy operation

var params = {
  FileSystemId: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
};
efs.deleteFileSystemPolicy(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred

deleteMountTarget(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Deletes the specified mount target.

This operation forcibly breaks any mounts of the file system by using the mount target that is being deleted, which might disrupt instances or applications using those mounts. To avoid applications getting cut off abruptly, you might consider unmounting any mounts of the mount target, if feasible. The operation also deletes the associated network interface. Uncommitted writes might be lost, but breaking a mount target using this operation does not corrupt the file system itself. The file system you created remains. You can mount an EC2 instance in your VPC by using another mount target.

This operation requires permissions for the following action on the file system:

  • elasticfilesystem:DeleteMountTarget

Note: The DeleteMountTarget call returns while the mount target state is still deleting. You can check the mount target deletion by calling the DescribeMountTargets operation, which returns a list of mount target descriptions for the given file system.

The operation also requires permissions for the following Amazon EC2 action on the mount target's network interface:

  • ec2:DeleteNetworkInterface

Service Reference:

describeFileSystems(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Returns the description of a specific Amazon EFS file system if either the file system CreationToken or the FileSystemId is provided. Otherwise, it returns descriptions of all file systems owned by the caller's Amazon Web Services account in the Amazon Web Services Region of the endpoint that you're calling.

When retrieving all file system descriptions, you can optionally specify the MaxItems parameter to limit the number of descriptions in a response. This number is automatically set to 100. If more file system descriptions remain, Amazon EFS returns a NextMarker, an opaque token, in the response. In this case, you should send a subsequent request with the Marker request parameter set to the value of NextMarker.

To retrieve a list of your file system descriptions, this operation is used in an iterative process, where DescribeFileSystems is called first without the Marker and then the operation continues to call it with the Marker parameter set to the value of the NextMarker from the previous response until the response has no NextMarker.

The order of file systems returned in the response of one DescribeFileSystems call and the order of file systems returned across the responses of a multi-call iteration is unspecified.

This operation requires permissions for the elasticfilesystem:DescribeFileSystems action.

Applies an Amazon EFS FileSystemPolicy to an Amazon EFS file system. A file system policy is an IAM resource-based policy and can contain multiple policy statements. A file system always has exactly one file system policy, which can be the default policy or an explicit policy set or updated using this API operation. EFS file system policies have a 20,000 character limit. When an explicit policy is set, it overrides the default policy. For more information about the default file system policy, see Default EFS File System Policy.

Note: EFS file system policies have a 20,000 character limit.

This operation requires permissions for the elasticfilesystem:PutFileSystemPolicy action.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the putFileSystemPolicy operation

var params = {
  FileSystemId: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  Policy: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  BypassPolicyLockoutSafetyCheck: true || false
};
efs.putFileSystemPolicy(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • FileSystemId — (String)

      The ID of the EFS file system that you want to create or update the FileSystemPolicy for.

    • Policy — (String)

      The FileSystemPolicy that you're creating. Accepts a JSON formatted policy definition. EFS file system policies have a 20,000 character limit. To find out more about the elements that make up a file system policy, see EFS Resource-based Policies.

    • BypassPolicyLockoutSafetyCheck — (Boolean)

      (Optional) A boolean that specifies whether or not to bypass the FileSystemPolicy lockout safety check. The lockout safety check determines whether the policy in the request will lock out, or prevent, the IAM principal that is making the request from making future PutFileSystemPolicy requests on this file system. Set BypassPolicyLockoutSafetyCheck to True only when you intend to prevent the IAM principal that is making the request from making subsequent PutFileSystemPolicy requests on this file system. The default value is False.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

putLifecycleConfiguration(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Use this action to manage storage for your file system. A LifecycleConfiguration consists of one or more LifecyclePolicy objects that define the following:

  • TransitionToIA – When to move files in the file system from primary storage (Standard storage class) into the Infrequent Access (IA) storage.

  • TransitionToArchive – When to move files in the file system from their current storage class (either IA or Standard storage) into the Archive storage.

    File systems cannot transition into Archive storage before transitioning into IA storage. Therefore, TransitionToArchive must either not be set or must be later than TransitionToIA.

    Note: The Archive storage class is available only for file systems that use the Elastic Throughput mode and the General Purpose Performance mode.
  • TransitionToPrimaryStorageClass – Whether to move files in the file system back to primary storage (Standard storage class) after they are accessed in IA or Archive storage.

For more information, see Managing file system storage.

Each Amazon EFS file system supports one lifecycle configuration, which applies to all files in the file system. If a LifecycleConfiguration object already exists for the specified file system, a PutLifecycleConfiguration call modifies the existing configuration. A PutLifecycleConfiguration call with an empty LifecyclePolicies array in the request body deletes any existing LifecycleConfiguration. In the request, specify the following:

  • The ID for the file system for which you are enabling, disabling, or modifying Lifecycle management.

  • A LifecyclePolicies array of LifecyclePolicy objects that define when to move files to IA storage, to Archive storage, and back to primary storage.

    Note: Amazon EFS requires that each LifecyclePolicy object have only have a single transition, so the LifecyclePolicies array needs to be structured with separate LifecyclePolicy objects. See the example requests in the following section for more information.

This operation requires permissions for the elasticfilesystem:PutLifecycleConfiguration operation.

To apply a LifecycleConfiguration object to an encrypted file system, you need the same Key Management Service permissions as when you created the encrypted file system.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Creates a new lifecycleconfiguration object for a file system


/* This operation enables lifecycle management on a file system by creating a new LifecycleConfiguration object. A LifecycleConfiguration object defines when files in an Amazon EFS file system are automatically transitioned to the lower-cost EFS Infrequent Access (IA) storage class. A LifecycleConfiguration applies to all files in a file system. */

 var params = {
  FileSystemId: "fs-01234567", 
  LifecyclePolicies: [
     {
    TransitionToIA: "AFTER_30_DAYS"
   }
  ]
 };
 efs.putLifecycleConfiguration(params, function(err, data) {
   if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
   else     console.log(data);           // successful response
   /*

  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • FileSystemId — (String)

      The ID of the file system for which you are creating the LifecycleConfiguration object (String).

    • LifecyclePolicies — (Array<map>)

      An array of LifecyclePolicy objects that define the file system's LifecycleConfiguration object. A LifecycleConfiguration object informs EFS Lifecycle management of the following:

      • TransitionToIA – When to move files in the file system from primary storage (Standard storage class) into the Infrequent Access (IA) storage.

      • TransitionToArchive – When to move files in the file system from their current storage class (either IA or Standard storage) into the Archive storage.

        File systems cannot transition into Archive storage before transitioning into IA storage. Therefore, TransitionToArchive must either not be set or must be later than TransitionToIA.

        Note: The Archive storage class is available only for file systems that use the Elastic Throughput mode and the General Purpose Performance mode.
      • TransitionToPrimaryStorageClass – Whether to move files in the file system back to primary storage (Standard storage class) after they are accessed in IA or Archive storage.

      Note: When using the put-lifecycle-configuration CLI command or the PutLifecycleConfiguration API action, Amazon EFS requires that each LifecyclePolicy object have only a single transition. This means that in a request body, LifecyclePolicies must be structured as an array of LifecyclePolicy objects, one object for each storage transition. See the example requests in the following section for more information.
      • TransitionToIA — (String)

        The number of days after files were last accessed in primary storage (the Standard storage class) at which to move them to Infrequent Access (IA) storage. Metadata operations such as listing the contents of a directory don't count as file access events.
