CreateDataRepositoryAssociation - Amazon FSx
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

CreateDataRepositoryAssociation

Creates an Amazon FSx for Lustre data repository association (DRA). A data repository association is a link between a directory on the file system and an Amazon S3 bucket or prefix. You can have a maximum of 8 data repository associations on a file system. Data repository associations are supported on all FSx for Lustre 2.12 and 2.15 file systems, excluding scratch_1 deployment type.

Each data repository association must have a unique Amazon FSx file system directory and a unique S3 bucket or prefix associated with it. You can configure a data repository association for automatic import only, for automatic export only, or for both. To learn more about linking a data repository to your file system, see Linking your file system to an S3 bucket.

Note

CreateDataRepositoryAssociation isn't supported on Amazon File Cache resources. To create a DRA on Amazon File Cache, use the CreateFileCache operation.

Request Syntax

{ "BatchImportMetaDataOnCreate": boolean, "ClientRequestToken": "string", "DataRepositoryPath": "string", "FileSystemId": "string", "FileSystemPath": "string", "ImportedFileChunkSize": number, "S3": { "AutoExportPolicy": { "Events": [ "string" ] }, "AutoImportPolicy": { "Events": [ "string" ] } }, "Tags": [ { "Key": "string", "Value": "string" } ] }

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

BatchImportMetaDataOnCreate

Set to true to run an import data repository task to import metadata from the data repository to the file system after the data repository association is created. Default is false.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

ClientRequestToken

(Optional) An idempotency token for resource creation, in a string of up to 63 ASCII characters. This token is automatically filled on your behalf when you use the Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI) or an Amazon SDK.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 63.

Pattern: [A-za-z0-9_.-]{0,63}$

Required: No

DataRepositoryPath

The path to the Amazon S3 data repository that will be linked to the file system. The path can be an S3 bucket or prefix in the format s3://bucket-name/prefix/ (where prefix is optional). This path specifies where in the S3 data repository files will be imported from or exported to.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 3. Maximum length of 4357.

Pattern: ^[^\u0000\u0085\u2028\u2029\r\n]{3,4357}$

Required: Yes

FileSystemId

The globally unique ID of the file system, assigned by Amazon FSx.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 11. Maximum length of 21.

Pattern: ^(fs-[0-9a-f]{8,})$

Required: Yes

FileSystemPath

A path on the file system that points to a high-level directory (such as /ns1/) or subdirectory (such as /ns1/subdir/) that will be mapped 1-1 with DataRepositoryPath. The leading forward slash in the name is required. Two data repository associations cannot have overlapping file system paths. For example, if a data repository is associated with file system path /ns1/, then you cannot link another data repository with file system path /ns1/ns2.

This path specifies where in your file system files will be exported from or imported to. This file system directory can be linked to only one Amazon S3 bucket, and no other S3 bucket can be linked to the directory.

Note

If you specify only a forward slash (/) as the file system path, you can link only one data repository to the file system. You can only specify "/" as the file system path for the first data repository associated with a file system.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 4096.

Pattern: ^[^\u0000\u0085\u2028\u2029\r\n]{1,4096}$

Required: No

ImportedFileChunkSize

For files imported from a data repository, this value determines the stripe count and maximum amount of data per file (in MiB) stored on a single physical disk. The maximum number of disks that a single file can be striped across is limited by the total number of disks that make up the file system.

The default chunk size is 1,024 MiB (1 GiB) and can go as high as 512,000 MiB (500 GiB). Amazon S3 objects have a maximum size of 5 TB.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of 1. Maximum value of 512000.

Required: No

S3

The configuration for an Amazon S3 data repository linked to an Amazon FSx Lustre file system with a data repository association. The configuration defines which file events (new, changed, or deleted files or directories) are automatically imported from the linked data repository to the file system or automatically exported from the file system to the data repository.

Type: S3DataRepositoryConfiguration object

Required: No

Tags

A list of Tag values, with a maximum of 50 elements.

Type: Array of Tag objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 50 items.

Required: No
