volumes

Creates, updates, deletes or gets a volume resource or lists volumes in a region

Overview

Namevolumes
TypeResource
Description
Specifies an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume.When you use CFNlong to update an Amazon EBS volume that modifies Iops, Size, or VolumeType, there is a cooldown period before another operation can occur. This can cause your stack to report being in UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS or UPDATE_ROLLBACK_IN_PROGRESS for long periods of time.
Amazon EBS does not support sizing down an Amazon EBS volume. CFNlong does not attempt to modify an Amazon EBS volume to a smaller size on rollback.
Some common scenarios when you might encounter a cooldown period for Amazon EBS include:
+ You successfully update an Amazon EBS volume and the update succeeds. When you attempt another update within the cooldown window, that update will be subject to a cooldown period.
+ You successfully update an Amazon EBS volume and the update succeeds but another change in your update-stack call fails. The rollback will be subject to a cooldown period.
For more information, see Requirements for EBS volume modifications.
DeletionPolicy attribute
To control how CFNlong handles the volume when the stack is deleted, set a deletion policy for your volume. You can choose to retain the volume, to delete the volume, or to create a snapshot of the volume. For more information, see DeletionPolicy attribute.
If you set a deletion policy that creates a snapshot, all tags on the volume are included in the snapshot.

Fields

NameDatatypeDescription
multi_attach_enabledboolean
Indicates whether Amazon EBS Multi-Attach is enabled.CFNlong does not currently support updating a single-attach volume to be multi-attach enabled, updating a multi-attach enabled volume to be single-attach, or updating the size or number of I/O operations per second (IOPS) of a multi-attach enabled volume.
kms_key_idstring
The identifier of the kms-key-long to use for Amazon EBS encryption. If KmsKeyId is specified, the encrypted state must be true.If you omit this property and your account is enabled for encryption by default, or Encrypted is set to true, then the volume is encrypted using the default key specified for your account. If your account does not have a default key, then the volume is encrypted using the aws-managed-key.
Alternatively, if you want to specify a different key, you can specify one of the following:
+ Key ID. For example, 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.
+ Key alias. Specify the alias for the key, prefixed with alias/. For example, for a key with the alias my_cmk, use alias/my_cmk. Or to specify the aws-managed-key, use alias/aws/ebs.
+ Key ARN. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:012345678910:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.
+ Alias ARN. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:012345678910:alias/ExampleAlias.
encryptedboolean
Indicates 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 EBS User Guide.Encrypted Amazon EBS volumes must be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption. For more information, see Supported instance types.
sizeinteger
The size of the volume, in GiBs. You must specify either a snapshot ID or a volume size. If you specify a snapshot, the default is the snapshot size. You can specify a volume size that is equal to or larger than the snapshot size.The following are the supported volumes sizes for each volume type:
+ gp2 and gp3: 1 - 16,384 GiB
+ io1: 4 - 16,384 GiB
+ io2: 4 - 65,536 GiB
+ st1 and sc1: 125 - 16,384 GiB
+ standard: 1 - 1024 GiB
auto_enable_iobooleanIndicates whether the volume is auto-enabled for I/O operations. By default, Amazon EBS disables I/O to the volume from attached EC2 instances when it determines that a volume's data is potentially inconsistent. If the consistency of the volume is not a concern, and you prefer that the volume be made available immediately if it's impaired, you can configure the volume to automatically enable I/O.
outpost_arnstringThe Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Outpost.
availability_zonestring
The ID of the Availability Zone in which to create the volume. For example, us-east-1a.Either AvailabilityZone or AvailabilityZoneId must be specified, but not both.
throughputinteger
The throughput to provision for a volume, with a maximum of 1,000 MiB/s.This parameter is valid only for gp3 volumes. The default value is 125.
Valid Range: Minimum value of 125. Maximum value of 1000.
iopsinteger
The number of I/O operations per second (IOPS). For gp3, io1, and io2 volumes, this represents the number of IOPS that are provisioned for the volume. For gp2 volumes, this represents the baseline performance of the volume and the rate at which the volume accumulates I/O credits for bursting.The following are the supported values for each volume type:
+ gp3: 3,000 - 16,000 IOPS
+ io1: 100 - 64,000 IOPS
+ io2: 100 - 256,000 IOPS
For io2 volumes, you can achieve up to 256,000 IOPS on instances built on the Nitro System. On other instances, you can achieve performance up to 32,000 IOPS.
This parameter is required for io1 and io2 volumes. The default for gp3 volumes is 3,000 IOPS. This parameter is not supported for gp2, st1, sc1, or standard volumes.
volume_initialization_rateinteger
Specifies the Amazon EBS Provisioned Rate for Volume Initialization (volume initialization rate), in MiB/s, at which to download the snapshot blocks from Amazon S3 to the volume. This is also known as volume initialization. Specifying a volume initialization rate ensures that the volume is initialized at a predictable and consistent rate after creation.This parameter is supported only for volumes created from snapshots. Omit this parameter if:
+ You want to create the volume using fast snapshot restore. You must specify a snapshot that is enabled for fast snapshot restore. In this case, the volume is fully initialized at creation.
If you specify a snapshot that is enabled for fast snapshot restore and a volume initialization rate, the volume will be initialized at the specified rate instead of fast snapshot restore.
+ You want to create a volume that is initialized at the default rate.
For more information, see Initialize Amazon EBS volumes in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
Valid range: 100 - 300 MiB/s
snapshot_idstringThe snapshot from which to create the volume. You must specify either a snapshot ID or a volume size.
volume_idstring
volume_typestring
The volume type. This parameter can be one of the following values:+ General Purpose SSD: gp2 | gp3
+ Provisioned IOPS SSD: io1 | io2
+ Throughput Optimized HDD: st1
+ Cold HDD: sc1
+ Magnetic: standard
For more information, see Amazon EBS volume types.
Default: gp2
tagsarrayThe tags to apply to the volume during creation.
regionstringAWS region.

Additional Parameters

Mutable resources in the Cloud Control provider support additional optional parameters which can be supplied with INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE operations. These include:

ParameterDescription
ClientToken
A unique identifier to ensure the idempotency of the resource request.This allows the provider to accurately distinguish between retries and new requests.
A client token is valid for 36 hours once used.
After that, a resource request with the same client token is treated as a new request.
If you do not specify a client token, one is generated for inclusion in the request.
RoleArn
The ARN of the IAM role used to perform this resource operation.The role specified must have the permissions required for this operation.
If you do not specify a role, a temporary session is created using your AWS user credentials.
TypeVersionId
For private resource types, the type version to use in this resource operation.If you do not specify a resource version, the default version is used.

Permissions

To operate on the volumes resource, the following permissions are required:

ec2:DescribeVolumes,
ec2:DescribeVolumeAttribute,
ec2:DescribeTags
