2024/12/16 - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - 3 updated api methods
Changes This release adds support for EBS local snapshots in AWS Dedicated Local Zones, which allows you to store snapshots of EBS volumes locally in Dedicated Local Zones.
{'Location': 'regional | local'}
Response {'AvailabilityZone': 'string'}
Creates a snapshot of an EBS volume and stores it in Amazon S3. You can use snapshots for backups, to make copies of EBS volumes, and to save data before shutting down an instance.
The location of the source EBS volume determines where you can create the snapshot.
If the source volume is in a Region, you must create the snapshot in the same Region as the volume.
If the source volume is in a Local Zone, you can create the snapshot in the same Local Zone or in parent Amazon Web Services Region.
If the source volume is on an Outpost, you can create the snapshot on the same Outpost or in its parent Amazon Web Services Region.
When a snapshot is created, any Amazon Web Services Marketplace product codes that are associated with the source volume are propagated to the snapshot.
You can take a snapshot of an attached volume that is in use. However, snapshots only capture data that has been written to your Amazon EBS volume at the time the snapshot command is issued; this might exclude any data that has been cached by any applications or the operating system. If you can pause any file systems on the volume long enough to take a snapshot, your snapshot should be complete. However, if you cannot pause all file writes to the volume, you should unmount the volume from within the instance, issue the snapshot command, and then remount the volume to ensure a consistent and complete snapshot. You may remount and use your volume while the snapshot status is pending.
When you create a snapshot for an EBS volume that serves as a root device, we recommend that you stop the instance before taking the snapshot.
Snapshots that are taken from encrypted volumes are automatically encrypted. Volumes that are created from encrypted snapshots are also automatically encrypted. Your encrypted volumes and any associated snapshots always remain protected. For more information, Amazon EBS encryption in the Amazon EBS User Guide.

The storage tier in which the snapshot is stored. standard indicates that the snapshot is stored in the standard snapshot storage tier and that it is ready for use. archive indicates that the snapshot is currently archived and that it must be restored before it can be used.
RestoreExpiryTime (datetime) --
Only for archived snapshots that are temporarily restored. Indicates the date and time when a temporarily restored snapshot will be automatically re-archived.

DataEncryptionKeyId (string) --
The data encryption key identifier for the snapshot. This value is a unique identifier that corresponds to the data encryption key that was used to encrypt the original volume or snapshot copy. Because data encryption keys are inherited by volumes created from snapshots, and vice versa, if snapshots share the same data encryption key identifier, then they belong to the same volume/snapshot lineage. This parameter is only returned by DescribeSnapshots.
{'Location': 'regional | local'}
Response {'Snapshots': {'AvailabilityZone': 'string'}}
Creates crash-consistent snapshots of multiple EBS volumes attached to an Amazon EC2 instance. Volumes are chosen by specifying an instance. Each volume attached to the specified instance will produce one snapshot that is crash-consistent across the instance. You can include all of the volumes currently attached to the instance, or you can exclude the root volume or specific data (non-root) volumes from the multi-volume snapshot set.
The location of the source instance determines where you can create the snapshots.
If the source instance is in a Region, you must create the snapshots in the same Region as the instance.
If the source instance is in a Local Zone, you can create the snapshots in the same Local Zone or in parent Amazon Web Services Region.
If the source instance is on an Outpost, you can create the snapshots on the same Outpost or in its parent Amazon Web Services Region.

{'Snapshots': {'AvailabilityZone': 'string'}}
Describes the specified EBS snapshots available to you or all of the EBS snapshots available to you.
The snapshots available to you include public snapshots, private snapshots that you own, and private snapshots owned by other Amazon Web Services accounts for which you have explicit create volume permissions.
The create volume permissions fall into the following categories:
public: The owner of the snapshot granted create volume permissions for the snapshot to the all group. All Amazon Web Services accounts have create volume permissions for these snapshots.
explicit: The owner of the snapshot granted create volume permissions to a specific Amazon Web Services account.
implicit: An Amazon Web Services account has implicit create volume permissions for all snapshots it owns.
The list of snapshots returned can be filtered by specifying snapshot IDs, snapshot owners, or Amazon Web Services accounts with create volume permissions. If no options are specified, Amazon EC2 returns all snapshots for which you have create volume permissions.
If you specify one or more snapshot IDs, only snapshots that have the specified IDs are returned. If you specify an invalid snapshot ID, an error is returned. If you specify a snapshot ID for which you do not have access, it is not included in the returned results.
If you specify one or more snapshot owners using the OwnerIds option, only snapshots from the specified owners and for which you have access are returned. The results can include the Amazon Web Services account IDs of the specified owners, amazon for snapshots owned by Amazon, or self for snapshots that you own.
If you specify a list of restorable users, only snapshots with create snapshot permissions for those users are returned. You can specify Amazon Web Services account IDs (if you own the snapshots), self for snapshots for which you own or have explicit permissions, or all for public snapshots.
If you are describing a long list of snapshots, we recommend that you paginate the output to make the list more manageable. For more information, see Pagination.
To get the state of fast snapshot restores for a snapshot, use DescribeFastSnapshotRestores.
For more information about EBS snapshots, see Amazon EBS snapshots in the Amazon EBS User Guide.
