AWS::DataSync::LocationObjectStorage

The AWS::DataSync::LocationObjectStorage resource specifies an endpoint for a self-managed object storage bucket. For more information about self-managed object storage locations, see Creating a Location for Object Storage.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your Amazon CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

Properties

AccessKey

Specifies the access key (for example, a user name) if credentials are required to authenticate with the object storage server.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: ^.+$

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 200

Update requires: No interruption

AgentArns

Specifies the Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the DataSync agents that can connect with your object storage system.

Required: Yes

Type: Array of String

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 128 | 4

Update requires: No interruption

BucketName

Specifies the name of the object storage bucket involved in the transfer.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-\+\./\(\)\$\p{Zs}]+$

Minimum: 3

Maximum: 63

Update requires: Replacement

SecretKey

Specifies the secret key (for example, a password) if credentials are required to authenticate with the object storage server.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: ^.+$

Minimum: 8

Maximum: 200

Update requires: No interruption

ServerCertificate

Specifies a certificate chain for DataSync to authenticate with your object storage system if the system uses a private or self-signed certificate authority (CA). You must specify a single .pem file with a full certificate chain (for example, file:///home/user/.ssh/object_storage_certificates.pem).

The certificate chain might include:

  • The object storage system's certificate

  • All intermediate certificates (if there are any)

  • The root certificate of the signing CA

You can concatenate your certificates into a .pem file (which can be up to 32768 bytes before base64 encoding). The following example cat command creates an object_storage_certificates.pem file that includes three certificates:

cat object_server_certificate.pem intermediate_certificate.pem ca_root_certificate.pem > object_storage_certificates.pem

To use this parameter, configure ServerProtocol to HTTPS.

Required: No

Type: String

Maximum: 32768

Update requires: No interruption

ServerHostname

Specifies the domain name or IP version 4 (IPv4) address of the object storage server that your DataSync agent connects to.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: ^(([a-zA-Z0-9\-]*[a-zA-Z0-9])\.)*([A-Za-z0-9\-]*[A-Za-z0-9])$

Maximum: 255

Update requires: No interruption

ServerPort

Specifies the port that your object storage server accepts inbound network traffic on (for example, port 443).

Required: No

Type: Integer

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 65536

Update requires: No interruption

ServerProtocol

Specifies the protocol that your object storage server uses to communicate.

Required: No

Type: String

Allowed values: HTTPS | HTTP

Update requires: No interruption

Subdirectory

Specifies the object prefix for your object storage server. If this is a source location, DataSync only copies objects with this prefix. If this is a destination location, DataSync writes all objects with this prefix.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-\+\./\(\)\p{Zs}]*$

Maximum: 4096

Update requires: No interruption

Tags

Specifies the key-value pair that represents a tag that you want to add to the resource. Tags can help you manage, filter, and search for your resources. We recommend creating a name tag for your location.

Required: No

Type: Array of Tag

Maximum: 50

Update requires: No interruption

Return values

Ref

When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic Ref function, Ref returns the location resource Amazon Resource Name (ARN). For example:

arn:aws:datasync:us-east-2:111222333444:location/loc-07db7abfc326c50s3

For more information about using the Ref function, see Ref.

Fn::GetAtt

The Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function returns a value for a specified attribute of this type. The following are the available attributes and sample return values.

For more information about using the Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function, see Fn::GetAtt.

LocationArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the specified object storage location.

LocationUri

The URI of the specified object storage location.

Examples

Create an object storage location for DataSync

The following example specifies an object storage location for DataSync. In this example, the object storage location uses the bucket named MyBucket, on the server named MyServer@example.com. This example also specifies the server protocol HTTPS and the subdirectory /Subdirectory.
