type FileSystemId

string

param FileSystemId

[REQUIRED]

The ID of the file system to update.

type ReplicationOverwriteProtection

string

param ReplicationOverwriteProtection

The status of the file system's replication overwrite protection.

  • ENABLED – The file system cannot be used as the destination file system in a replication configuration. The file system is writeable. Replication overwrite protection is ENABLED by default.

  • DISABLED – The file system can be used as the destination file system in a replication configuration. The file system is read-only and can only be modified by EFS replication.

  • REPLICATING – The file system is being used as the destination file system in a replication configuration. The file system is read-only and is only modified only by EFS replication.

Creates a new, empty file system. The operation requires a creation token in the request that Amazon EFS uses to ensure idempotent creation (calling the operation with same creation token has no effect). If a file system does not currently exist that is owned by the caller's Amazon Web Services account with the specified creation token, this operation does the following:

  • Creates a new, empty file system. The file system will have an Amazon EFS assigned ID, and an initial lifecycle state creating .

  • Returns with the description of the created file system.

Otherwise, this operation returns a FileSystemAlreadyExists error with the ID of the existing file system.

Note

For basic use cases, you can use a randomly generated UUID for the creation token.

The idempotent operation allows you to retry a CreateFileSystem call without risk of creating an extra file system. This can happen when an initial call fails in a way that leaves it uncertain whether or not a file system was actually created. An example might be that a transport level timeout occurred or your connection was reset. As long as you use the same creation token, if the initial call had succeeded in creating a file system, the client can learn of its existence from the FileSystemAlreadyExists error.

For more information, see Creating a file system in the Amazon EFS User Guide .

Note

The CreateFileSystem call returns while the file system's lifecycle state is still creating . You can check the file system creation status by calling the DescribeFileSystems operation, which among other things returns the file system state.

This operation accepts an optional PerformanceMode parameter that you choose for your file system. We recommend generalPurpose performance mode for all file systems. File systems using the maxIO mode is a previous generation performance type that is designed for highly parallelized workloads that can tolerate higher latencies than the General Purpose mode. Max I/O mode is not supported for One Zone file systems or file systems that use Elastic throughput.

Warning

Due to the higher per-operation latencies with Max I/O, we recommend using General Purpose performance mode for all file systems.

The performance mode can't be changed after the file system has been created. For more information, see Amazon EFS performance modes.

You can set the throughput mode for the file system using the ThroughputMode parameter.

After the file system is fully created, Amazon EFS sets its lifecycle state to available , at which point you can create one or more mount targets for the file system in your VPC. For more information, see CreateMountTarget. You mount your Amazon EFS file system on an EC2 instances in your VPC by using the mount target. For more information, see Amazon EFS: How it Works.

This operation requires permissions for the elasticfilesystem:CreateFileSystem action.

File systems can be tagged on creation. If tags are specified in the creation action, IAM performs additional authorization on the elasticfilesystem:TagResource action to verify if users have permissions to create tags. Therefore, you must grant explicit permissions to use the elasticfilesystem:TagResource action. For more information, see Granting permissions to tag resources during creation.

)
type CreationToken

string

param CreationToken

[REQUIRED]

A string of up to 64 ASCII characters. Amazon EFS uses this to ensure idempotent creation.

This field is autopopulated if not provided.

type PerformanceMode

string

param PerformanceMode

The Performance mode of the file system. We recommend generalPurpose performance mode for all file systems. File systems using the maxIO performance mode can scale to higher levels of aggregate throughput and operations per second with a tradeoff of slightly higher latencies for most file operations. The performance mode can't be changed after the file system has been created. The maxIO mode is not supported on One Zone file systems.

Warning

Due to the higher per-operation latencies with Max I/O, we recommend using General Purpose performance mode for all file systems.

Default is generalPurpose .

type Encrypted

boolean

param Encrypted

A Boolean value that, if true, creates an encrypted file system. When creating an encrypted file system, you have the option of specifying an existing Key Management Service key (KMS key). If you don't specify a KMS key, then the default KMS key for Amazon EFS, /aws/elasticfilesystem , is used to protect the encrypted file system.

type KmsKeyId

string

param KmsKeyId

The ID of the KMS key that you want to use to protect the encrypted file system. This parameter is required only if you want to use a non-default KMS key. If this parameter is not specified, the default KMS key for Amazon EFS is used. You can specify a KMS key ID using the following formats:

  • Key ID - A unique identifier of the key, for example 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab .

  • ARN - An Amazon Resource Name (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 - An ARN for a key alias, for example arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:444455556666:alias/projectKey1 .

If you use KmsKeyId , you must set the CreateFileSystemRequest$Encrypted parameter to true.

Warning

EFS accepts only symmetric KMS keys. You cannot use asymmetric KMS keys with Amazon EFS file systems.

type ThroughputMode

string

param ThroughputMode

Specifies the throughput mode for the file system. The mode can be bursting , provisioned , or elastic . If you set ThroughputMode to provisioned , you must also set a value for ProvisionedThroughputInMibps . After you create the file system, you can decrease your file system's Provisioned throughput or change between the throughput modes, with certain time restrictions. For more information, see Specifying throughput with provisioned mode in the Amazon EFS User Guide .

Default is bursting .

type ProvisionedThroughputInMibps

float

param ProvisionedThroughputInMibps

The throughput, measured in mebibytes per second (MiBps), that you want to provision for a file system that you're creating. Required if ThroughputMode is set to provisioned . Valid values are 1-3414 MiBps, with the upper limit depending on Region. To increase this limit, contact Amazon Web Services Support. For more information, see Amazon EFS quotas that you can increase in the Amazon EFS User Guide .

type AvailabilityZoneName

string

param AvailabilityZoneName

Used to create a One Zone file system. It specifies the Amazon Web Services Availability Zone in which to create the file system. Use the format us-east-1a to specify the Availability Zone. For more information about One Zone file systems, see Using EFS storage classes in the Amazon EFS User Guide .

Note

One Zone file systems are not available in all Availability Zones in Amazon Web Services Regions where Amazon EFS is available.

type Backup

boolean

param Backup

Specifies whether automatic backups are enabled on the file system that you are creating. Set the value to true to enable automatic backups. If you are creating a One Zone file system, automatic backups are enabled by default. For more information, see Automatic backups in the Amazon EFS User Guide .

Default is false . However, if you specify an AvailabilityZoneName , the default is true .

Note

Backup is not available in all Amazon Web Services Regions where Amazon EFS is available.

type Tags

list

param Tags

Use to create one or more tags associated with the file system. Each tag is a user-defined key-value pair. Name your file system on creation by including a "Key":"Name","Value":"{value}" key-value pair. Each key must be unique. For more information, see Tagging Amazon Web Services resources in the Amazon Web Services General Reference Guide .

CreateReplicationConfiguration (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'Destinations': {'FileSystemId': 'string'}}

Creates a replication configuration that replicates an existing EFS file system to a new, read-only 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 replicated. The source file system cannot be a destination file system in an existing replication configuration.

  • Amazon Web Services Region – The Amazon Web Services Region in which the destination file system is created. Amazon EFS replication is available in all Amazon Web Services Regions in which EFS is available. The Region must be enabled. For more information, see Managing Amazon Web Services Regions in the Amazon Web Services General Reference Reference Guide .

  • Destination file system configuration – The configuration of the destination file system to which the source file system will be replicated. There can only be one destination file system in a replication configuration. Parameters for the replication configuration include:

    • File system ID – The ID of the destination file system for the replication. If no ID is provided, then EFS creates a new file system with the default settings. For existing file systems, the file system's replication overwrite protection must be disabled. For more information, see Replicating to an existing file system.

    • Availability Zone – If you want the destination file system to use One Zone storage, you must specify the Availability Zone to create the file system in. For more information, see EFS file system types in the Amazon EFS User Guide .

    • Encryption – All destination file systems are created with encryption at rest enabled. You can specify the Key Management Service (KMS) key that is used to encrypt the destination file system. If you don't specify a KMS key, your service-managed KMS key for Amazon EFS is used.

    Note

    After the file system is created, you cannot change the KMS key.

Note

After the file system is created, you cannot change the KMS key.

For new destination file systems, the following properties are set by default:

  • Performance mode - The destination file system's performance mode matches that of the source file system, unless the destination file system uses EFS One Zone storage. In that case, the General Purpose performance mode is used. The performance mode cannot be changed.

  • Throughput mode - The destination file system's throughput mode matches that of the source file system. After the file system is created, you can modify the throughput mode.

  • Lifecycle management – Lifecycle management is not enabled on the destination file system. After the destination file system is created, you can enable lifecycle management.

  • Automatic backups – Automatic daily backups are enabled on the destination file system. After the file system is created, you can change this setting.

For more information, see Amazon EFS replication in the Amazon EFS User Guide .

Returns the description of a specific Amazon EFS file system if either the file system CreationToken or the FileSystemId is provided. Otherwise, it returns descriptions of all file systems owned by the caller's Amazon Web Services account in the Amazon Web Services Region of the endpoint that you're calling.

When retrieving all file system descriptions, you can optionally specify the MaxItems parameter to limit the number of descriptions in a response. This number is automatically set to 100. If more file system descriptions remain, Amazon EFS returns a NextMarker , an opaque token, in the response. In this case, you should send a subsequent request with the Marker request parameter set to the value of NextMarker .

To retrieve a list of your file system descriptions, this operation is used in an iterative process, where DescribeFileSystems is called first without the Marker and then the operation continues to call it with the Marker parameter set to the value of the NextMarker from the previous response until the response has no NextMarker .

The order of file systems returned in the response of one DescribeFileSystems call and the order of file systems returned across the responses of a multi-call iteration is unspecified.

This operation requires permissions for the elasticfilesystem:DescribeFileSystems action.

            • Key (string) --

              The tag key (String). The key can't start with aws: .

            • Value (string) --

              The value of the tag key.

        • FileSystemProtection (dict) --

          Describes the protection on the file system.

            The status of the file system's replication overwrite protection.

            • ENABLED – The file system cannot be used as the destination file system in a replication configuration. The file system is writeable. Replication overwrite protection is ENABLED by default.

            • DISABLED – The file system can be used as the destination file system in a replication configuration. The file system is read-only and can only be modified by EFS replication.

            • REPLICATING – The file system is being used as the destination file system in a replication configuration. The file system is read-only and is only modified only by EFS replication.
