Creates a block storage disk that can be attached to an Amazon Lightsail instance in the same Availability Zone (us-east-2a).

The create disk operation supports tag-based access control via request tags. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide .

Example Syntax

Use a bare-bones client and the command you need to make an API call.

import { LightsailClient, CreateDiskCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-lightsail"; // ES Modules import
// const { LightsailClient, CreateDiskCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-lightsail"); // CommonJS import
const client = new LightsailClient(config);
const input = { // CreateDiskRequest
  diskName: "STRING_VALUE", // required
  availabilityZone: "STRING_VALUE", // required
  sizeInGb: Number("int"), // required
  tags: [ // TagList
    { // Tag
      key: "STRING_VALUE",
      value: "STRING_VALUE",
    },
  ],
  addOns: [ // AddOnRequestList
    { // AddOnRequest
      addOnType: "AutoSnapshot" || "StopInstanceOnIdle", // required
      autoSnapshotAddOnRequest: { // AutoSnapshotAddOnRequest
        snapshotTimeOfDay: "STRING_VALUE",
      },
      stopInstanceOnIdleRequest: { // StopInstanceOnIdleRequest
        threshold: "STRING_VALUE",
        duration: "STRING_VALUE",
      },
    },
  ],
};
const command = new CreateDiskCommand(input);
const response = await client.send(command);
