2020/02/14 - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - 3 updated api methods
Changes Update ec2 client to latest version
{'MultiAttachEnabled': 'boolean'}
Creates an EBS volume that can be attached to an instance in the same Availability Zone. The volume is created in the regional endpoint that you send the HTTP request to. For more information see Regions and Endpoints.
You can create a new empty volume or restore a volume from an EBS snapshot. Any AWS Marketplace product codes from the snapshot are propagated to the volume.
You can create encrypted volumes. Encrypted volumes must be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption. Volumes that are created from encrypted snapshots are also automatically encrypted. For more information, see Amazon EBS Encryption in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.
You can tag your volumes during creation. For more information, see Tagging Your Amazon EC2 Resources in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.
For more information, see Creating an Amazon EBS Volume in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

string
[REQUIRED]
The Availability Zone in which to create the volume.
boolean
Specifies whether the volume should be encrypted. The effect of setting the encryption state to true depends on the volume origin (new or from a snapshot), starting encryption state, ownership, and whether encryption by default is enabled. For more information, see Encryption by Default in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.
Encrypted Amazon EBS volumes must be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption. For more information, see Supported Instance Types.
integer
The number of I/O operations per second (IOPS) to provision for the volume, with a maximum ratio of 50 IOPS/GiB. Range is 100 to 64,000 IOPS for volumes in most Regions. Maximum IOPS of 64,000 is guaranteed only on Nitro-based instances. Other instance families guarantee performance up to 32,000 IOPS. For more information, see Amazon EBS Volume Types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.
This parameter is valid only for Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1) volumes.
string
The identifier of the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer master key (CMK) to use for Amazon EBS encryption. If this parameter is not specified, your AWS managed CMK for EBS is used. If KmsKeyId is specified, the encrypted state must be true.
You can specify the CMK using any of the following:
Key ID. For example, key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.
Key alias. For example, alias/ExampleAlias.
Key ARN. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:012345678910:key/abcd1234-a123-456a-a12b-a123b4cd56ef.
Alias ARN. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:012345678910:alias/ExampleAlias.
AWS authenticates the CMK asynchronously. Therefore, if you specify an ID, alias, or ARN that is not valid, the action can appear to complete, but eventually fails.
string
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Outpost.
integer
The size of the volume, in GiBs. You must specify either a snapshot ID or a volume size.
Constraints: 1-16,384 for gp2, 4-16,384 for io1, 500-16,384 for st1, 500-16,384 for sc1, and 1-1,024 for standard. If you specify a snapshot, the volume size must be equal to or larger than the snapshot size.
Default: If you're creating the volume from a snapshot and don't specify a volume size, the default is the snapshot size.
string
The snapshot from which to create the volume. You must specify either a snapshot ID or a volume size.
string
The volume type. This can be gp2 for General Purpose SSD, io1 for Provisioned IOPS SSD, st1 for Throughput Optimized HDD, sc1 for Cold HDD, or standard for Magnetic volumes.
Default: gp2
boolean
Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.
list
The tags to apply to the volume during creation.
(dict) --
The tags to apply to a resource when the resource is being created.
ResourceType (string) --
The type of resource to tag. Currently, the resource types that support tagging on creation are: capacity-reservation | client-vpn-endpoint | dedicated-host | fleet | fpga-image | instance | key-pair | launch-template | placement-group | snapshot | traffic-mirror-filter | traffic-mirror-session | traffic-mirror-target | transit-gateway | transit-gateway-attachment | transit-gateway-route-table | volume.
To tag a resource after it has been created, see CreateTags.
Tags (list) --
The tags to apply to the resource.
(dict) --
Describes a tag.
Key (string) --

Constraints: Tag keys are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 127 Unicode characters. May not begin with aws:.
Value (string) --
The value of the tag.
Constraints: Tag values are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 255 Unicode characters.
boolean
Specifies whether to enable Amazon EBS Multi-Attach. If you enable Multi-Attach, you can attach the volume to up to 16 Nitro-based instances in the same Availability Zone. For more information, see Amazon EBS Multi-Attach in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

{'VolumeStatuses': {'AttachmentStatuses': [{'InstanceId': 'string',
'IoPerformance': 'string'}],
'Events': {'InstanceId': 'string'}}}
Describes the status of the specified volumes. Volume status provides the result of the checks performed on your volumes to determine events that can impair the performance of your volumes. The performance of a volume can be affected if an issue occurs on the volume's underlying host. If the volume's underlying host experiences a power outage or system issue, after the system is restored, there could be data inconsistencies on the volume. Volume events notify you if this occurs. Volume actions notify you if any action needs to be taken in response to the event.
The DescribeVolumeStatus operation provides the following information about the specified volumes:
Status: Reflects the current status of the volume. The possible values are ok, impaired , warning, or insufficient-data. If all checks pass, the overall status of the volume is ok. If the check fails, the overall status is impaired. If the status is insufficient-data, then the checks may still be taking place on your volume at the time. We recommend that you retry the request. For more information about volume status, see Monitoring the Status of Your Volumes in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.
Events: Reflect the cause of a volume status and may require you to take action. For example, if your volume returns an impaired status, then the volume event might be potential-data-inconsistency. This means that your volume has been affected by an issue with the underlying host, has all I/O operations disabled, and may have inconsistent data.
Actions: Reflect the actions you may have to take in response to an event. For example, if the status of the volume is impaired and the volume event shows potential-data-inconsistency, then the action shows enable-volume-io. This means that you may want to enable the I/O operations for the volume by calling the EnableVolumeIO action and then check the volume for data consistency.
Volume status is based on the volume status checks, and does not reflect the volume state. Therefore, volume status does not indicate volumes in the error state (for example, when a volume is incapable of accepting I/O.)
