create-replication-configuration

Description

Creates a replication configuration to either a new or existing EFS file system. For more information, see Amazon EFS replication in the Amazon EFS User Guide . The replication configuration specifies the following:

  • Source file system – The EFS file system that you want to replicate.
  • Destination file system – The destination file system to which the source file system is replicated. There can only be one destination file system in a replication configuration.

Note

A file system can be part of only one replication configuration.

The destination parameters for the replication configuration depend on whether you are replicating to a new file system or to an existing file system, and if you are replicating across Amazon Web Services accounts. See DestinationToCreate for more information.

This operation requires permissions for the elasticfilesystem:CreateReplicationConfiguration action. Additionally, other permissions are required depending on how you are replicating file systems. For more information, see Required permissions for replication in the Amazon EFS User Guide .

Options

--source-file-system-id (string)

Specifies the Amazon EFS file system that you want to replicate. This file system cannot already be a source or destination file system in another replication configuration.

--destinations (list)

An array of destination configuration objects. Only one destination configuration object is supported.

(structure)

Describes the new or existing destination file system for the replication configuration.

  • If you want to replicate to a new file system, do not specify the File System ID for the destination file system. Amazon EFS creates a new, empty file system. For One Zone storage, specify the Availability Zone to create the file system in. To use an Key Management Service key other than the default KMS key, then specify it. For more information, see Configuring replication to new Amazon EFS file system in the Amazon EFS User Guide .

Note

After the file system is created, you cannot change the KMS key or the performance mode.
  • If you want to replicate to an existing file system that's in the same account as the source file system, then you need to provide the ID or Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the file system to which to replicate. The file system's replication overwrite protection must be disabled. For more information, see Replicating to an existing file system in the Amazon EFS User Guide .
  • If you are replicating the file system to a file system that's in a different account than the source file system (cross-account replication), you need to provide the ARN for the file system and the IAM role that allows Amazon EFS to perform replication on the destination account. The file system's replication overwrite protection must be disabled. For more information, see Replicating across Amazon Web Services accounts in the Amazon EFS User Guide .

Region -> (string)

To create a file system that uses Regional storage, specify the Amazon Web Services Region in which to create the destination file system. The Region must be enabled for the Amazon Web Services account that owns the source file system. For more information, see Managing Amazon Web Services Regions in the Amazon Web Services General Reference Reference Guide .

AvailabilityZoneName -> (string)

To create a file system that uses One Zone storage, specify the name of the Availability Zone in which to create the destination file system.

KmsKeyId -> (string)

Specify the Key Management Service (KMS) key that you want to use to encrypt the destination file system. If you do not specify a KMS key, Amazon EFS uses your default KMS key for Amazon EFS, /aws/elasticfilesystem . This ID can be in one of the following formats:

  • Key ID - The unique identifier of the key, for example 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab .
  • ARN - The ARN for the key, for example arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab .
  • Key alias - A previously created display name for a key, for example alias/projectKey1 .
  • Key alias ARN - The ARN for a key alias, for example arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:444455556666:alias/projectKey1 .

FileSystemId -> (string)

The ID or ARN of the file system to use for the destination. For cross-account replication, this must be an ARN. The file system's replication overwrite replication must be disabled. If no ID or ARN is specified, then a new file system is created.

RoleArn -> (string)

Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role in the source account that allows Amazon EFS to perform replication on its behalf. This is optional for same-account replication and required for cross-account replication.

Shorthand Syntax:

JSON Syntax:

  {
    "Region": "string",

    "FileSystemId": "string",
    "RoleArn": "string"
  }
  ...

--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.
