ebs: Amazon Elastic Block Store

In paws: Amazon Web Services Software Development Kit

Amazon Elastic Block Store

Description

You can use the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) direct APIs to create Amazon EBS snapshots, write data directly to your snapshots, read data on your snapshots, and identify the differences or changes between two snapshots. If you’re an independent software vendor (ISV) who offers backup services for Amazon EBS, the EBS direct APIs make it more efficient and cost-effective to track incremental changes on your Amazon EBS volumes through snapshots. This can be done without having to create new volumes from snapshots, and then use Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances to compare the differences.

You can create incremental snapshots directly from data on-premises into volumes and the cloud to use for quick disaster recovery. With the ability to write and read snapshots, you can write your on-premises data to an snapshot during a disaster. Then after recovery, you can restore it back to Amazon Web Services or on-premises from the snapshot. You no longer need to build and maintain complex mechanisms to copy data to and from Amazon EBS.

This API reference provides detailed information about the actions, data types, parameters, and errors of the EBS direct APIs. For more information about the elements that make up the EBS direct APIs, and examples of how to use them effectively, see Accessing the Contents of an Amazon EBS Snapshot in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide. For more information about the supported Amazon Web Services Regions, endpoints, and service quotas for the EBS direct APIs, see Amazon Elastic Block Store Endpoints and Quotas in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.

Usage

ebs(config = list(), credentials = list(), endpoint = NULL, region = NULL)

Arguments

config	Optional configuration of credentials, endpoint, and/or region. credentials: creds: access_key_id: AWS access key ID secret_access_key: AWS secret access key session_token: AWS temporary session token profile: The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used. anonymous: Set anonymous credentials. endpoint: The complete URL to use for the constructed client. region: The AWS Region used in instantiating the client. close_connection: Immediately close all HTTP connections. timeout: The time in seconds till a timeout exception is thrown when attempting to make a connection. The default is 60 seconds. s3_force_path_style: Set this to true to force the request to use path-style addressing, i.e. ⁠http://s3.amazonaws.com/BUCKET/KEY⁠. sts_regional_endpoint: Set sts regional endpoint resolver to regional or legacy https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-sts-regionalized-endpoints.html
credentials	Optional credentials shorthand for the config parameter creds: access_key_id: AWS access key ID secret_access_key: AWS secret access key session_token: AWS temporary session token profile: The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used. anonymous: Set anonymous credentials.
endpoint	Optional shorthand for complete URL to use for the constructed client.
region	Optional shorthand for AWS Region used in instantiating the client.

Value

A client for the service. You can call the service's operations using syntax like svc$operation(...), where svc is the name you've assigned to the client. The available operations are listed in the Operations section.

Service syntax

svc <- ebs(
  config = list(
    credentials = list(
      creds = list(
        access_key_id = "string",
        secret_access_key = "string",
        session_token = "string"
      ),
      profile = "string",
      anonymous = "logical"
    ),
    endpoint = "string",
    region = "string",
    close_connection = "logical",
    timeout = "numeric",
    s3_force_path_style = "logical",
    sts_regional_endpoint = "string"
  ),
  credentials = list(
    creds = list(
      access_key_id = "string",
      secret_access_key = "string",
      session_token = "string"
    ),
    profile = "string",
    anonymous = "logical"
  ),
  endpoint = "string",
  region = "string"
)

Operations

complete_snapshot	Seals and completes the snapshot after all of the required blocks of data have been written to it
get_snapshot_block	Returns the data in a block in an Amazon Elastic Block Store snapshot
list_changed_blocks	Returns information about the blocks that are different between two Amazon Elastic Block Store snapshots of the same volume/snapshot lineage
list_snapshot_blocks	Returns information about the blocks in an Amazon Elastic Block Store snapshot
put_snapshot_block	Writes a block of data to a snapshot
start_snapshot	Creates a new Amazon EBS snapshot

Examples

## Not run: 
svc <- ebs()
svc$complete_snapshot(
  Foo = 123
)

## End(Not run)
