Description

Creates a transfer location for an object storage system. DataSync can use this location as a source or destination for transferring data.

Before you begin, make sure that you understand the prerequisites for DataSync to work with object storage systems.

Options

--server-hostname (string)

Specifies the domain name or IP address of the object storage server. A DataSync agent uses this hostname to mount the object storage server in a network.

--server-port (integer)

Specifies the port that your object storage server accepts inbound network traffic on (for example, port 443).

--server-protocol (string)

Specifies the protocol that your object storage server uses to communicate.

Possible values:

  • HTTPS
  • HTTP

--subdirectory (string)

Specifies the object prefix for your object storage server. If this is a source location, DataSync only copies objects with this prefix. If this is a destination location, DataSync writes all objects with this prefix.

--bucket-name (string)

Specifies the name of the object storage bucket involved in the transfer.

--access-key (string)

Specifies the access key (for example, a user name) if credentials are required to authenticate with the object storage server.

--secret-key (string)

Specifies the secret key (for example, a password) if credentials are required to authenticate with the object storage server.

--agent-arns (list)

Specifies the Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the DataSync agents that can connect with your object storage system.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--tags (list)

Specifies the key-value pair that represents a tag that you want to add to the resource. Tags can help you manage, filter, and search for your resources. We recommend creating a name tag for your location.

(structure)

A key-value pair representing a single tag that's been applied to an Amazon Web Services resource.

Key -> (string)

The key for an Amazon Web Services resource tag.

Value -> (string)

The value for an Amazon Web Services resource tag.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--server-certificate (blob)

Specifies a certificate chain for DataSync to authenticate with your object storage system if the system uses a private or self-signed certificate authority (CA). You must specify a single .pem file with a full certificate chain (for example, file:///home/user/.ssh/object_storage_certificates.pem ).

The certificate chain might include:

  • The object storage system's certificate
  • All intermediate certificates (if there are any)
  • The root certificate of the signing CA

You can concatenate your certificates into a .pem file (which can be up to 32768 bytes before base64 encoding). The following example cat command creates an object_storage_certificates.pem file that includes three certificates:

cat object_server_certificate.pem intermediate_certificate.pem ca_root_certificate.pem > object_storage_certificates.pem

To use this parameter, configure ServerProtocol to HTTPS .

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI 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.

--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. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Output

LocationArn -> (string)

Specifies the ARN of the object storage system location that you create.
