Class: Aws::EBS::Client

Inherits:
Seahorse::Client::Base show all
Defined in:
(unknown)

Overview

An API client for Amazon Elastic Block Store. To construct a client, you need to configure a :region and :credentials.

ebs = Aws::EBS::Client.new(
  region: region_name,
  credentials: credentials,
  # ...
)

See #initialize for a full list of supported configuration options.

Region

You can configure a default region in the following locations:

  • ENV['AWS_REGION']
  • Aws.config[:region]

Go here for a list of supported regions.

Credentials

Default credentials are loaded automatically from the following locations:

  • ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'] and ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
  • Aws.config[:credentials]
  • The shared credentials ini file at ~/.aws/credentials (more information)
  • From an instance profile when running on EC2

You can also construct a credentials object from one of the following classes:

Alternatively, you configure credentials with :access_key_id and :secret_access_key:

# load credentials from disk
creds = YAML.load(File.read('/path/to/secrets'))

Aws::EBS::Client.new(
  access_key_id: creds['access_key_id'],
  secret_access_key: creds['secret_access_key']
)

Always load your credentials from outside your application. Avoid configuring credentials statically and never commit them to source control.

Options Hash (options):

  • :snapshot_id (required, String)

    The ID of the snapshot.

  • :block_index (required, Integer)

    The block index of the block in which to write the data. A block index is a logical index in units of 512 KiB blocks. To identify the block index, divide the logical offset of the data in the logical volume by the block size (logical offset of data/524288). The logical offset of the data must be 512 KiB aligned.

  • :block_data (required, IO, String)

    The data to write to the block.

    The block data is not signed as part of the Signature Version 4 signing process. As a result, you must generate and provide a Base64-encoded SHA256 checksum for the block data using the x-amz-Checksum header. Also, you must specify the checksum algorithm using the x-amz-Checksum-Algorithm header. The checksum that you provide is part of the Signature Version 4 signing process. It is validated against a checksum generated by Amazon EBS to ensure the validity and authenticity of the data. If the checksums do not correspond, the request fails. For more information, see Using checksums with the EBS direct APIs in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

  • :data_length (required, Integer)

    The size of the data to write to the block, in bytes. Currently, the only supported size is 524288.

    Valid values: 524288

  • :progress (Integer)

    The progress of the write process, as a percentage.

  • :checksum (required, String)

    A Base64-encoded SHA256 checksum of the data. Only SHA256 checksums are supported.

  • :checksum_algorithm (required, String)

    The algorithm used to generate the checksum. Currently, the only supported algorithm is SHA256.

Returns:

See Also:

#start_snapshot(options = {}) ⇒ Types::StartSnapshotResponse

Creates a new Amazon EBS snapshot. The new snapshot enters the pending state after the request completes.

After creating the snapshot, use PutSnapshotBlock to write blocks of data to the snapshot.

Examples:

Request syntax with placeholder values


resp = client.start_snapshot({
  volume_size: 1, # required
  parent_snapshot_id: "SnapshotId",
  tags: [
    {
      key: "TagKey",
      value: "TagValue",
    },
  ],
  description: "Description",
  client_token: "IdempotencyToken",
  encrypted: false,
  kms_key_arn: "KmsKeyArn",
  timeout: 1,
})

Response structure


resp.description #=> String
resp.snapshot_id #=> String
resp.owner_id #=> String
resp.status #=> String, one of "completed", "pending", "error"
resp.start_time #=> Time
resp.volume_size #=> Integer
resp.block_size #=> Integer
resp.tags #=> Array
resp.tags[0].key #=> String
resp.tags[0].value #=> String
resp.parent_snapshot_id #=> String
resp.kms_key_arn #=> String

Options Hash (options):

  • :volume_size (required, Integer)

    The size of the volume, in GiB. The maximum size is 16384 GiB (16 TiB).

  • :parent_snapshot_id (String)

    The ID of the parent snapshot. If there is no parent snapshot, or if you are creating the first snapshot for an on-premises volume, omit this parameter.

    If your account is enabled for encryption by default, you cannot use an unencrypted snapshot as a parent snapshot. You must first create an encrypted copy of the parent snapshot using CopySnapshot.

  • :tags (Array<Types::Tag>)

    The tags to apply to the snapshot.

  • :description (String)

    A description for the snapshot.

  • :client_token (String)

    This parameter will be auto-filled on your behalf with a random UUIDv4 when no value is provided. A unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. Idempotency ensures that an API request completes only once. With an idempotent request, if the original request completes successfully. The subsequent retries with the same client token return the result from the original successful request and they have no additional effect.

    If you do not specify a client token, one is automatically generated by the AWS SDK.

    For more information, see Idempotency for StartSnapshot API in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

  • :encrypted (Boolean)

    Indicates whether to encrypt the snapshot. To create an encrypted snapshot, specify true. To create an unencrypted snapshot, omit this parameter.

    If you specify a value for ParentSnapshotId, omit this parameter.

    If you specify true, the snapshot is encrypted using the CMK specified using the KmsKeyArn parameter. If no value is specified for KmsKeyArn, the default CMK for your account is used. If no default CMK has been specified for your account, the AWS managed CMK is used. To set a default CMK for your account, use ModifyEbsDefaultKmsKeyId.

    If your account is enabled for encryption by default, you cannot set this parameter to false. In this case, you can omit this parameter.

    For more information, see Using encryption in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

  • :kms_key_arn (String)

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer master key (CMK) to be used to encrypt the snapshot. If you do not specify a CMK, the default AWS managed CMK is used.

    If you specify a ParentSnapshotId, omit this parameter; the snapshot will be encrypted using the same CMK that was used to encrypt the parent snapshot.

    If Encrypted is set to true, you must specify a CMK ARN.

  • :timeout (Integer)

    The amount of time (in minutes) after which the snapshot is automatically cancelled if:

    • No blocks are written to the snapshot.

    • The snapshot is not completed after writing the last block of data.

    If no value is specified, the timeout defaults to 60 minutes.

Returns:

#wait_until(waiter_name, params = {}) {|waiter| ... } ⇒ Boolean

Waiters polls an API operation until a resource enters a desired state.

Basic Usage

Waiters will poll until they are succesful, they fail by entering a terminal state, or until a maximum number of attempts are made.

# polls in a loop, sleeping between attempts client.waiter_until(waiter_name, params)

Configuration

You can configure the maximum number of polling attempts, and the delay (in seconds) between each polling attempt. You configure waiters by passing a block to #wait_until:

# poll for ~25 seconds
client.wait_until(...) do |w|
  w.max_attempts = 5
  w.delay = 5
end

Callbacks

You can be notified before each polling attempt and before each delay. If you throw :success or :failure from these callbacks, it will terminate the waiter.

started_at = Time.now
client.wait_until(...) do |w|

  # disable max attempts
  w.max_attempts = nil

  # poll for 1 hour, instead of a number of attempts
  w.before_wait do |attempts, response|
    throw :failure if Time.now - started_at > 3600
  end

end

Handling Errors

When a waiter is successful, it returns true. When a waiter fails, it raises an error. All errors raised extend from Waiters::Errors::WaiterFailed.

begin
  client.wait_until(...)
rescue Aws::Waiters::Errors::WaiterFailed
  # resource did not enter the desired state in time
end

Parameters:

  • waiter_name (Symbol)

    The name of the waiter. See #waiter_names for a full list of supported waiters.

  • params (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    Additional request parameters. See the #waiter_names for a list of supported waiters and what request they call. The called request determines the list of accepted parameters.

Yield Parameters:

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

    Returns true if the waiter was successful.

Raises:

  • (Errors::FailureStateError)

    Raised when the waiter terminates because the waiter has entered a state that it will not transition out of, preventing success.

  • (Errors::TooManyAttemptsError)

    Raised when the configured maximum number of attempts have been made, and the waiter is not yet successful.

  • (Errors::UnexpectedError)

    Raised when an error is encounted while polling for a resource that is not expected.

  • (Errors::NoSuchWaiterError)

    Raised when you request to wait for an unknown state.

#waiter_namesArray<Symbol>

Returns the list of supported waiters. The following table lists the supported waiters and the client method they call:

Waiter NameClient MethodDefault Delay:Default Max Attempts:

Returns:

  • (Array<Symbol>)

    the list of supported waiters.
