create-cluster¶

Description¶

Creates an empty cluster. Each cluster supports five nodes. You use the CreateJob action separately to create the jobs for each of these nodes. The cluster does not ship until these five node jobs have been created.

Note

For cluster jobs, AWS Snow Family currently supports only the EDGE device type.

For more information, see “https://docs.aws.amazon.com/snowball/latest/snowcone-guide/snow-device-types.html” (Snow Family Devices and Capacity) in the Snowcone User Guide or “https://docs.aws.amazon.com/snowball/latest/developer-guide/snow-device-types.html” (Snow Family Devices and Capacity) in the Snowcone User Guide .

--shipping-option (string)

The shipping speed for each node in this cluster. This speed doesn’t dictate how soon you’ll get each Snowball Edge device, rather it represents how quickly each device moves to its destination while in transit. Regional shipping speeds are as follows:

In Australia, you have access to express shipping. Typically, Snow devices shipped express are delivered in about a day.

In the European Union (EU), you have access to express shipping. Typically, Snow devices 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, Snow devices are delivered in one to seven days.

In the United States of America (US), you have access to one-day shipping and two-day shipping.

In Australia, you have access to express shipping. Typically, devices shipped express are delivered in about a day.

In the European Union (EU), you have access to express shipping. Typically, Snow devices 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.

--remote-management (string)

Allows you to securely operate and manage Snow devices in a cluster remotely from outside of your internal network. When set to INSTALLED_AUTOSTART , remote management will automatically be available when the device arrives at your location. Otherwise, you need to use the Snowball Client to manage the device.

Possible values:

INSTALLED_ONLY

INSTALLED_AUTOSTART

--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.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

ClusterId -> (string)

The automatically generated ID for a cluster.
