--vpc-endpoint-id (string)

Specifies the ID of the VPC endpoint that you want your agent to connect to. For example, a VPC endpoint ID looks like vpce-01234d5aff67890e1 .

Warning

The VPC endpoint you use must include the DataSync service name (for example, com.amazonaws.us-east-2.datasync ).

--subnet-arns (list)

Specifies the ARN of the subnet where you want to run your DataSync task when using a VPC endpoint. This is the subnet where DataSync creates and manages the network interfaces for your transfer. You can only specify one ARN.

(string)

Syntax:

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
