L1 ConstructAWS::DLM::LifecyclePolicy

CfnLifecyclePolicy

Specifies a lifecycle policy, which is used to automate operations on Amazon EBS resources. The properties are required when you add a lifecycle policy and optional when you update a lifecycle policy.

Import

import { CfnLifecyclePolicy } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-dlm';

Or use the module namespace:

import * as dlm from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-dlm';
// dlm.CfnLifecyclePolicy

Properties

Configuration passed to the constructor as CfnLifecyclePolicyProps.

copyTagsOptional
boolean | IResolvable

*[Default policies only]* Indicates whether the policy should copy tags from the source resource to the snapshot or AMI. If you do not specify a value, the default is `false` . Default: false

createIntervalOptional
number

*[Default policies only]* Specifies how often the policy should run and create snapshots or AMIs. The creation frequency can range from 1 to 7 days. If you do not specify a value, the default is 1. Default: 1

crossRegionCopyTargetsOptional
IResolvable | IResolvable | CrossRegionCopyTargetProperty[]

*[Default policies only]* Specifies destination Regions for snapshot or AMI copies. You can specify up to 3 destination Regions. If you do not want to create cross-Region copies, omit this parameter.

defaultPolicyOptional
string

*[Default policies only]* Specify the type of default policy to create. - To create a default policy for EBS snapshots, that creates snapshots of all volumes in the Region that do not have recent backups, specify `VOLUME` . - To create a default policy for EBS-backed AMIs, that creates EBS-backed AMIs from all instances in the Region that do not have recent backups, specify `INSTANCE` .

descriptionOptional
string

A description of the lifecycle policy. The characters ^[0-9A-Za-z _-]+$ are supported.

exclusionsOptional
IResolvable | ExclusionsProperty

*[Default policies only]* Specifies exclusion parameters for volumes or instances for which you do not want to create snapshots or AMIs. The policy will not create snapshots or AMIs for target resources that match any of the specified exclusion parameters.

executionRoleArnOptional
string

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role used to run the operations specified by the lifecycle policy.

extendDeletionOptional
boolean | IResolvable

*[Default policies only]* Defines the snapshot or AMI retention behavior for the policy if the source volume or instance is deleted, or if the policy enters the error, disabled, or deleted state. By default ( *ExtendDeletion=false* ): - If a source resource is deleted, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager will continue to delete previously created snapshots or AMIs, up to but not including the last one, based on the specified retention period. If you want Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to delete all snapshots or AMIs, including the last one, specify `true` . - If a policy enters the error, disabled, or deleted state, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager stops deleting snapshots and AMIs. If you want Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to continue deleting snapshots or AMIs, including the last one, if the policy enters one of these states, specify `true` . If you enable extended deletion ( *ExtendDeletion=true* ), you override both default behaviors simultaneously. If you do not specify a value, the default is `false` . Default: false

policyDetailsOptional
IResolvable | PolicyDetailsProperty

The configuration details of the lifecycle policy. > If you create a default policy, you can specify the request parameters either in the request body, or in the PolicyDetails request structure, but not both.

retainIntervalOptional
number

*[Default policies only]* Specifies how long the policy should retain snapshots or AMIs before deleting them. The retention period can range from 2 to 14 days, but it must be greater than the creation frequency to ensure that the policy retains at least 1 snapshot or AMI at any given time. If you do not specify a value, the default is 7. Default: 7

stateOptional
string

The activation state of the lifecycle policy.

tagsOptional
CfnTag[]

The tags to apply to the lifecycle policy during creation.
