create-job¶

Description¶

Creates a job to import or export data between Amazon S3 and your on-premises data center. Your AWS account must have the right trust policies and permissions in place to create a job for Snowball. If you’re creating a job for a node in a cluster, you only need to provide the clusterId value; the other job attributes are inherited from the cluster.

Each S3Resource object represents an Amazon S3 bucket that your transferred data will be exported from or imported into. For export jobs, this object can have an optional KeyRange value. The length of the range is defined at job creation, and has either an inclusive BeginMarker , an inclusive EndMarker , or both. Ranges are UTF-8 binary sorted.

BucketArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an Amazon S3 bucket.

KeyRange -> (structure)

In the European Union (EU), you have access to express shipping. Typically, Snowballs shipped express are delivered in about a day. In addition, most countries in the EU have access to standard shipping, which typically takes less than a week, one way.

In India, Snowballs are delivered in one to seven days.

In the US, you have access to one-day shipping and two-day shipping.

}

--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.

Output¶

JobId -> (string)

The automatically generated ID for a job, for example JID123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000 .
