ListLocationsResponse
Locations (list) --
An array that contains a list of locations.
(dict) --
Represents a single entry in a list of locations. LocationListEntry returns an array that contains a list of locations when the ListLocations operation is called.
LocationArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the location. For Network File System (NFS) or Amazon EFS, the location is the export path. For Amazon S3, the location is the prefix path that you want to mount and use as the root of the location.
LocationUri (string) --
Represents a list of URLs of a location. LocationUri returns an array that contains a list of locations when the ListLocations operation is called.
Format: TYPE://GLOBAL_ID/SUBDIR.
TYPE designates the type of location. Valid values: NFS | EFS | S3.
GLOBAL_ID is the globally unique identifier of the resource that backs the location. An example for EFS is us-east-2.fs-abcd1234. An example for Amazon S3 is the bucket name, such as myBucket. An example for NFS is a valid IPv4 address or a host name compliant with Domain Name Service (DNS).
SUBDIR is a valid file system path, delimited by forward slashes as is the *nix convention. For NFS and Amazon EFS, it's the export path to mount the location. For Amazon S3, it's the prefix path that you mount to and treat as the root of the location.
NextToken (string) --
An opaque string that indicates the position at which to begin returning the next list of locations.
Cancels execution of a task.
When you cancel a task execution, the transfer of some files are abruptly interrupted. The contents of files that are transferred to the destination might be incomplete or inconsistent with the source files. However, if you start a new task execution on the same task and you allow the task execution to complete, file content on the destination is complete and consistent. This applies to other unexpected failures that interrupt a task execution. In all of these cases, AWS DataSync successfully complete the transfer when you start the next task execution.

Creates an endpoint for an Amazon S3 bucket.
For AWS DataSync to access a destination S3 bucket, it needs an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that has the required permissions. You can set up the required permissions by creating an IAM policy that grants the required permissions and attaching the policy to the role. An example of such a policy is shown in the examples section. For more information, see Configuring Amazon S3 Location Settings in the AWS DataSync User Guide.

string
[REQUIRED]
The subdirectory in the NFS file system that is used to read data from the NFS source location or write data to the NFS destination. The NFS path should be a path that's exported by the NFS server, or a subdirectory of that path. The path should be such that it can be mounted by other NFS clients in your network.
To see all the paths exported by your NFS server. run " showmount -e nfs-server-name" from an NFS client that has access to your server. You can specify any directory that appears in the results, and any subdirectory of that directory. Ensure that the NFS export is accessible without Kerberos authentication.
To transfer all the data in the folder you specified, DataSync needs to have permissions to read all the data. To ensure this, either configure the NFS export with no_root_squash, or ensure that the permissions for all of the files that you want sync allow read access for all users. Doing either enables the agent to read the files. For the agent to access directories, you must additionally enable all execute access. For information about NFS export configuration, see 18.7. The /etc/exports Configuration File in the Centos documentation.

For example, a TaskExecution value with the ARN arn:aws:sync:us-east-1:209870788375:task/task-0208075f79cedf4a2/execution/exec-08ef1e88ec491019b executed the task with the ARN arn:aws:sync:us-east-1:209870788375:task/task-0208075f79cedf4a2.
Status (string) --
The status of the task. For detailed information about sync statuses, see Understanding Sync Task Statuses.
Options (dict) --
Represents the options that are available to control the behavior of a StartTaskExecution operation. Behavior includes preserving metadata such as user ID (UID), group ID (GID), and file permissions, and also overwriting files in the destination, data integrity verification, and so on.
A task has a set of default options associated with it. If you don't specify an option in StartTaskExecution, the default value is used. You can override the defaults options on each task execution by specifying an overriding Options value to StartTaskExecution.
VerifyMode (string) --
A value that determines whether a data integrity verification should be performed at the end of a task execution after all data and metadata have been transferred.
Default value: POINT_IN_TIME_CONSISTENT.
POINT_IN_TIME_CONSISTENT: Perform verification (recommended).
NONE: Skip verification.
Atime (string) --
A file metadata value that shows the last time a file was accessed (that is, when the file was read or written to). If you set Atime to BEST_EFFORT, DataSync attempts to preserve the original Atime attribute on all source files (that is, the version before the PREPARING phase). However, Atime's behavior is not fully standard across platforms, so AWS DataSync can only do this on a best-effort basis.
Default value: BEST_EFFORT.
BEST_EFFORT: Attempt to preserve the per-file Atime value (recommended).
NONE: Ignore Atime.
Mtime (string) --
A value that indicates the last time that a file was modified (that is, a file was written to) before the PREPARING phase.
Default value: PRESERVE.
PRESERVE: Preserve original Mtime (recommended)
NONE: Ignore Mtime.
Uid (string) --
The user ID (UID) of the file's owner.
Default value: INT_VALUE. This preserves the integer value of the ID.
INT_VALUE: Preserve the integer value of UID and group ID (GID) (recommended).
NONE: Ignore UID and GID.
Gid (string) --
The group ID (GID) of the file's owners.
Default value: INT_VALUE. This preserves the integer value of the ID.
INT_VALUE: Preserve the integer value of user ID (UID) and GID (recommended).
NONE: Ignore UID and GID.
PreserveDeletedFiles (string) --
A value that specifies whether files in the destination that don't exist in the source file system should be preserved.
Default value: PRESERVE.
PRESERVE: Ignore such destination files (recommended).
REMOVE: Delete destination files that aren’t present in the source.
PreserveDevices (string) --
A value that determines whether AWS DataSync should preserve the metadata of block and character devices in the source file system, and recreate the files with that device name and metadata on the destination.
Default value: NONE.
NONE: Ignore special devices (recommended).
PRESERVE: Preserve character and block device metadata. This option isn't currently supported for Amazon EFS.
PosixPermissions (string) --
A value that determines which users or groups can access a file for a specific purpose such as reading, writing, or execution of the file.
Default value: PRESERVE.
PRESERVE: Preserve POSIX-style permissions (recommended).
NONE: Ignore permissions.
BytesPerSecond (integer) --
A value that limits the bandwidth used by AWS DataSync. For example, if you want AWS DataSync to use a maximum of 1 MB, set this value to 1048576 ( =1024*1024).
StartTime (datetime) --
The time that the task execution was started.
EstimatedFilesToTransfer (integer) --
The expected number of files that is to be transferred over the network. This value is calculated during the PREPARING phase, before the TRANSFERRING phase. This value is the expected number of files to be transferred. It's calculated based on comparing the content of the source and destination locations and finding the delta that needs to be transferred.
EstimatedBytesToTransfer (integer) --
The estimated physical number of bytes that is to be transferred over the network.
FilesTransferred (integer) --
The actual number of files that was transferred over the network. This value is calculated and updated on an ongoing basis during the TRANSFERRING phase. It's updated periodically when each file is read from the source and sent over the network.
If failures occur during a transfer, this value can be less than EstimatedFilesToTransfer. This value can also be greater than EstimatedFilesTransferred in some cases. This element is implementation-specific for some location types, so don't use it as an indicator for a correct file number or to monitor your task execution.
BytesWritten (integer) --
The number of logical bytes written to the destination AWS storage resource.
BytesTransferred (integer) --
The physical number of bytes transferred over the network.
Result (dict) --
The result of the task execution.

Activates an AWS DataSync agent that you have deployed on your host. The activation process associates your agent with your account. In the activation process, you specify information such as the AWS Region that you want to activate the agent in. You activate the agent in the AWS Region where your target locations (in Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS) reside. Your tasks are created in this AWS Region.
You can use an agent for more than one location. If a task uses multiple agents, all of them need to have status AVAILABLE for the task to run. If you use multiple agents for a source location, the status of all the agents must be AVAILABLE for the task to run. For more information, see Activating a Sync Agent in the AWS DataSync User Guide.
Agents are automatically updated by AWS on a regular basis, using a mechanism that ensures minimal interruption to your tasks.

Creates a task. A task is a set of two locations (source and destination) and a set of default OverrideOptions that you use to control the behavior of a task. If you don't specify default values for Options when you create a task, AWS DataSync populates them with safe service defaults.
When you initially create a task, it enters the INITIALIZING status and then the CREATING status. In CREATING status, AWS DataSync attempts to mount the source Network File System (NFS) location. The task transitions to the AVAILABLE status without waiting for the destination location to mount. Instead, AWS DataSync mounts a destination before every task execution and then unmounts it after every task execution.
If an agent that is associated with a source (NFS) location goes offline, the task transitions to the UNAVAILABLE status. If the status of the task remains in the CREATING status for more than a few minutes, it means that your agent might be having trouble mounting the source NFS file system. Check the task's ErrorCode and ErrorDetail. Mount issues are often caused by either a misconfigured firewall or a mistyped NFS server host name.

Security group M (which you associate with the mount target) must allow inbound access for the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) on the NFS port (2049) from security group S. You can enable inbound connections either by IP address (CIDR range) or security group.
Security group S (provided to DataSync to access EFS) should have a rule that enables outbound connections to the NFS port on one of the file system’s mount targets. You can enable outbound connections either by IP address (CIDR range) or security group. For information about security groups and mount targets, see Security Groups for Amazon EC2 Instances and Mount Targets in the Amazon EFS User Guide.
