Package storagegateway provides the API client, operations, and parameter types
for AWS Storage Gateway.
Storage Gateway Service Storage Gateway is the service that connects an
on-premises software appliance with cloud-based storage to provide seamless and
secure integration between an organization's on-premises IT environment and the
Amazon Web Services storage infrastructure. The service enables you to securely
upload data to the Amazon Web Services Cloud for cost effective backup and rapid
disaster recovery. Use the following links to get started using the Storage
Gateway Service API Reference:
Storage Gateway resource IDs are in uppercase. When you use these resource IDs
with the Amazon EC2 API, EC2 expects resource IDs in lowercase. You must change
your resource ID to lowercase to use it with the EC2 API. For example, in
Storage Gateway the ID for a volume might be vol-AA22BB012345DAF670 . When you
use this ID with the EC2 API, you must change it to vol-aa22bb012345daf670 .
Otherwise, the EC2 API might not behave as expected. IDs for Storage Gateway
volumes and Amazon EBS snapshots created from gateway volumes are changing to a
longer format. Starting in December 2016, all new volumes and snapshots will be
created with a 17-character string. Starting in April 2016, you will be able to
use these longer IDs so you can test your systems with the new format. For more
information, see Longer EC2 and EBS resource IDs (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/faqs/#longer-ids)
. For example, a volume Amazon Resource Name (ARN) with the longer volume ID
format looks like the following:
arn:aws:storagegateway:us-west-2:111122223333:gateway/sgw-12A3456B/volume/vol-1122AABBCCDDEEFFG
. A snapshot ID with the longer ID format looks like the following:
snap-78e226633445566ee . For more information, see Announcement: Heads-up –
Longer Storage Gateway volume and snapshot IDs coming in 2016 (http://forums.aws.amazon.com/ann.jspa?annID=3557)
