AWS API Changes

2018/09/10 - AWS CloudHSM V2 - 2 new 1 updated api methods

Changes With this release, we are adding 2 new APIs. DeleteBackup deletes a specified AWS CloudHSM backup. A backup can be restored up to 7 days after the DeleteBackup request. During this 7-day period, the backup will be in state PENDING_DELETION. Backups can be restored using the RestoreBackup API, which will move the backup from state PENDING_DELETION back to ACTIVE.

DescribeBackups (updated)

Link ¶
Changes (response)

{'Backups': {'BackupState': {'PENDING_DELETION'},
             'DeleteTimestamp': 'timestamp'}}

Gets information about backups of AWS CloudHSM clusters.

This is a paginated operation, which means that each response might contain only a subset of all the backups. When the response contains only a subset of backups, it includes a NextToken value. Use this value in a subsequent DescribeBackups request to get more backups. When you receive a response with no NextToken (or an empty or null value), that means there are no more backups to get.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

client.describe_backups(
    NextToken='string',
    MaxResults=123,
    Filters={
        'string': [
            'string',
        ]
    },
    SortAscending=True|False
)

type NextToken

string

param NextToken

The NextToken value that you received in the previous response. Use this value to get more backups.

type MaxResults

integer

param MaxResults

The maximum number of backups to return in the response. When there are more backups than the number you specify, the response contains a NextToken value.

type Filters

dict

param Filters

One or more filters to limit the items returned in the response.

Use the backupIds filter to return only the specified backups. Specify backups by their backup identifier (ID).

Use the sourceBackupIds filter to return only the backups created from a source backup. The sourceBackupID of a source backup is returned by the CopyBackupToRegion operation.

Use the clusterIds filter to return only the backups for the specified clusters. Specify clusters by their cluster identifier (ID).

Use the states filter to return only backups that match the specified state.
