Key -> (string)
The tag key.
Value -> (string)
The tag value.
VariableTags -> (list)
A collection of key/value pairs with values determined dynamically when the policy is executed. Keys may be any valid Amazon EC2 tag key. Values must be in one of the two following formats:

The retention rule.
Count -> (integer)
The number of snapshots to retain for each volume, up to a maximum of 1000.
Interval -> (integer)
The amount of time to retain each snapshot. The maximum is 100 years. This is equivalent to 1200 months, 5200 weeks, or 36500 days.
IntervalUnit -> (string)
The unit of time for time-based retention.

The rule for enabling fast snapshot restore.
Count -> (integer)
The number of snapshots to be enabled with fast snapshot restore.
Interval -> (integer)
The amount of time to enable fast snapshot restore. The maximum is 100 years. This is equivalent to 1200 months, 5200 weeks, or 36500 days.
IntervalUnit -> (string)
The unit of time for enabling fast snapshot restore.
AvailabilityZones -> (list)
The Availability Zones in which to enable fast snapshot restore.
(string)
CrossRegionCopyRules -> (list)
The rule for cross-Region snapshot copies.
(structure)
Specifies a rule for cross-Region snapshot copies.
TargetRegion -> (string)
The target Region.
Encrypted -> (boolean)
To encrypt a copy of an unencrypted snapshot if encryption by default is not enabled, enable encryption using this parameter. Copies of encrypted snapshots are encrypted, even if this parameter is false or if encryption by default is not enabled.
CmkArn -> (string)
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the AWS KMS customer master key (CMK) to use for EBS encryption. If this parameter is not specified, your AWS managed CMK for EBS is used.
CopyTags -> (boolean)
Copy all user-defined tags from the source snapshot to the copied snapshot.
RetainRule -> (structure)
The retention rule.
Interval -> (integer)
The amount of time to retain each snapshot. The maximum is 100 years. This is equivalent to 1200 months, 5200 weeks, or 36500 days.
IntervalUnit -> (string)
The unit of time for time-based retention.
Parameters -> (structure)
A set of optional parameters for the policy.
ExcludeBootVolume -> (boolean)
[EBS Snapshot Management – Instance policies only] Indicates whether to exclude the root volume from snapshots created using CreateSnapshots . The default is false.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string)
Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those 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. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.
--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. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)
Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
Examples¶
To create a lifecycle policy
The following create-lifecycle-policy example creates a lifecycle policy that creates a daily snapshot of volumes at the specified time. The specified tags are added to the snapshots, and tags are also copied from the volume and added to the snapshots. If creating a new snapshot exceeds the specified maximum count, the oldest snapshot is deleted.
aws dlm create-lifecycle-policy \
--description "My first policy" \
--state ENABLED \
--execution-role-arn arn:aws:iam::12345678910:role/AWSDataLifecycleManagerDefaultRole \
