Client

class EFS.Client

A low-level client representing Amazon Elastic File System (EFS)

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) provides simple, scalable file storage for use with Amazon EC2 Linux and Mac instances in the Amazon Web Services Cloud. With Amazon EFS, storage capacity is elastic, growing and shrinking automatically as you add and remove files, so that your applications have the storage they need, when they need it. For more information, see the Amazon Elastic File System API Reference and the Amazon Elastic File System User Guide .

import boto3

client = boto3.client('efs')

These are the available methods:

can_paginate(operation_name)

Check if an operation can be paginated.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Returns
True if the operation can be paginated, False otherwise.
create_access_point(**kwargs)

Creates an EFS access point. An access point is an application-specific view into an EFS file system that applies an operating system user and group, and a file system path, to any file system request made through the access point. The operating system user and group override any identity information provided by the NFS client. The file system path is exposed as the access point's root directory. Applications using the access point can only access data in the application's own directory and any subdirectories. To learn more, see Mounting a file system using EFS access points .

This operation requires permissions for the elasticfilesystem:CreateAccessPoint action.

create_file_system(**kwargs)

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 most 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. 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.

    ]
)
Parameters
  • CreationToken (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

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

    This field is autopopulated if not provided.

  • PerformanceMode (string) --

    The performance mode of the file system. We recommend generalPurpose performance mode for most 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.

    Note

    The maxIO mode is not supported on file systems using One Zone storage classes.

  • Encrypted (boolean) -- 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.
  • KmsKeyId (string) --

    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.

  • ThroughputMode (string) --

    Specifies the throughput mode for the file system, either bursting or provisioned . 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 throughput in Provisioned Throughput mode or change between the throughput modes, as long as it’s been more than 24 hours since the last decrease or throughput mode change. For more information, see Specifying throughput with provisioned mode in the Amazon EFS User Guide .

    Default is bursting .

  • ProvisionedThroughputInMibps (float) -- The throughput, measured in MiB/s, that you want to provision for a file system that you're creating. Valid values are 1-1024. Required if ThroughputMode is set to provisioned . The upper limit for throughput is 1024 MiB/s. 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 .
  • AvailabilityZoneName (string) --

    Used to create a file system that uses One Zone storage classes. 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 storage classes, see Using EFS storage classes in the Amazon EFS User Guide .

    Note

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

  • Backup (boolean) --

    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 file system that uses One Zone storage classes, 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.

  • Tags (list) --

    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 .

    • (dict) --

      A tag is a key-value pair. Allowed characters are letters, white space, and numbers that can be represented in UTF-8, and the following characters:+ - = . _ : / .

      • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]

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

create_mount_target(**kwargs)

Creates a mount target for a file system. You can then mount the file system on EC2 instances by using the mount target.

You can create one mount target in each Availability Zone in your VPC. All EC2 instances in a VPC within a given Availability Zone share a single mount target for a given file system. If you have multiple subnets in an Availability Zone, you create a mount target in one of the subnets. EC2 instances do not need to be in the same subnet as the mount target in order to access their file system.

You can create only one mount target for an EFS file system using One Zone storage classes. You must create that mount target in the same Availability Zone in which the file system is located. Use the AvailabilityZoneName and AvailabiltyZoneId properties in the DescribeFileSystems response object to get this information. Use the subnetId associated with the file system's Availability Zone when creating the mount target.

For more information, see Amazon EFS: How it Works .

To create a mount target for a file system, the file system's lifecycle state must be available . For more information, see DescribeFileSystems .

In the request, provide the following:

  • The file system ID for which you are creating the mount target.
  • A subnet ID, which determines the following:
    • The VPC in which Amazon EFS creates the mount target
    • The Availability Zone in which Amazon EFS creates the mount target
    • The IP address range from which Amazon EFS selects the IP address of the mount target (if you don't specify an IP address in the request)

After creating the mount target, Amazon EFS returns a response that includes, a MountTargetId and an IpAddress . You use this IP address when mounting the file system in an EC2 instance. You can also use the mount target's DNS name when mounting the file system. The EC2 instance on which you mount the file system by using the mount target can resolve the mount target's DNS name to its IP address. For more information, see How it Works: Implementation Overview .

Note that you can create mount targets for a file system in only one VPC, and there can be only one mount target per Availability Zone. That is, if the file system already has one or more mount targets created for it, the subnet specified in the request to add another mount target must meet the following requirements:

  • Must belong to the same VPC as the subnets of the existing mount targets
  • Must not be in the same Availability Zone as any of the subnets of the existing mount targets

If the request satisfies the requirements, Amazon EFS does the following:

  • Creates a new mount target in the specified subnet.
  • Also creates a new network interface in the subnet as follows:
    • If the request provides an IpAddress , Amazon EFS assigns that IP address to the network interface. Otherwise, Amazon EFS assigns a free address in the subnet (in the same way that the Amazon EC2 CreateNetworkInterface call does when a request does not specify a primary private IP address).
    • If the request provides SecurityGroups , this network interface is associated with those security groups. Otherwise, it belongs to the default security group for the subnet's VPC.
    • Assigns the description Mount target *fsmt-id* for file system *fs-id* `` where `` *fsmt-id* `` is the mount target ID, and `` *fs-id* `` is the ``FileSystemId .
    • Sets the requesterManaged property of the network interface to true , and the requesterId value to EFS .

Each Amazon EFS mount target has one corresponding requester-managed EC2 network interface. After the network interface is created, Amazon EFS sets the NetworkInterfaceId field in the mount target's description to the network interface ID, and the IpAddress field to its address. If network interface creation fails, the entire CreateMountTarget operation fails.

Note

The CreateMountTarget call returns only after creating the network interface, but while the mount target state is still creating , you can check the mount target creation status by calling the DescribeMountTargets operation, which among other things returns the mount target state.

We recommend that you create a mount target in each of the Availability Zones. There are cost considerations for using a file system in an Availability Zone through a mount target created in another Availability Zone. For more information, see Amazon EFS . In addition, by always using a mount target local to the instance's Availability Zone, you eliminate a partial failure scenario. If the Availability Zone in which your mount target is created goes down, then you can't access your file system through that mount target.

This operation requires permissions for the following action on the file system:

  • elasticfilesystem:CreateMountTarget

This operation also requires permissions for the following Amazon EC2 actions:

  • ec2:DescribeSubnets
  • ec2:DescribeNetworkInterfaces
  • ec2:CreateNetworkInterface

create_replication_configuration(**kwargs)

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 - An existing EFS file system that you want replicated. The source file system cannot be a destination file system in an existing replication configuration.

  • 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. The destination file system configuration consists of the following properties:

    • 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 that Amazon EFS is available in, except Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Jakarta), Europe (Milan), and Middle East (Bahrain).
    • Availability Zone - If you want the destination file system to use EFS One Zone availability and durability, you must specify the Availability Zone to create the file system in. For more information about EFS storage classes, see Amazon EFS storage classes 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.

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 uses the Bursting Throughput mode by default. After the file system is created, you can modify the throughput mode.

The following properties are turned off by default:

  • Lifecycle management - EFS lifecycle management and EFS Intelligent-Tiering are not enabled on the destination file system. After the destination file system is created, you can enable EFS lifecycle management and EFS Intelligent-Tiering.
  • Automatic backups - Automatic daily backups not 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 .

create_tags(**kwargs)

Note

DEPRECATED - CreateTags is deprecated and not maintained. To create tags for EFS resources, use the API action.

Creates or overwrites tags associated with a file system. Each tag is a key-value pair. If a tag key specified in the request already exists on the file system, this operation overwrites its value with the value provided in the request. If you add the Name tag to your file system, Amazon EFS returns it in the response to the DescribeFileSystems operation.

This operation requires permission for the elasticfilesystem:CreateTags action.

Danger

This operation is deprecated and may not function as expected. This operation should not be used going forward and is only kept for the purpose of backwards compatiblity.

delete_access_point(**kwargs)

Deletes the specified access point. After deletion is complete, new clients can no longer connect to the access points. Clients connected to the access point at the time of deletion will continue to function until they terminate their connection.

This operation requires permissions for the elasticfilesystem:DeleteAccessPoint action.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.delete_access_point(
    AccessPointId='string'
)
Parameters
AccessPointId (string) --

[REQUIRED]

The ID of the access point that you want to delete.

Returns
None

Exceptions

  • EFS.Client.exceptions.BadRequest
  • EFS.Client.exceptions.InternalServerError
  • EFS.Client.exceptions.AccessPointNotFound
delete_file_system(**kwargs)

Deletes a file system, permanently severing access to its contents. Upon return, the file system no longer exists and you can't access any contents of the deleted file system.

You need to manually delete mount targets attached to a file system before you can delete an EFS file system. This step is performed for you when you use the Amazon Web Services console to delete a file system.

Note

You cannot delete a file system that is part of an EFS Replication configuration. You need to delete the replication configuration first.

You can't delete a file system that is in use. That is, if the file system has any mount targets, you must first delete them. For more information, see DescribeMountTargets and DeleteMountTarget .

Note

The DeleteFileSystem call returns while the file system state is still deleting . You can check the file system deletion status by calling the DescribeFileSystems operation, which returns a list of file systems in your account. If you pass file system ID or creation token for the deleted file system, the DescribeFileSystems returns a 404 FileSystemNotFound error.

This operation requires permissions for the elasticfilesystem:DeleteFileSystem action.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.delete_file_system(
    FileSystemId='string'

delete_file_system_policy(**kwargs)

Deletes the FileSystemPolicy for the specified file system. The default FileSystemPolicy goes into effect once the existing policy is deleted. For more information about the default file system policy, see Using Resource-based Policies with EFS .

This operation requires permissions for the elasticfilesystem:DeleteFileSystemPolicy action.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.delete_file_system_policy(
    FileSystemId='string'

  • EFS.Client.exceptions.BadRequest
  • EFS.Client.exceptions.InternalServerError
  • EFS.Client.exceptions.FileSystemNotFound
  • EFS.Client.exceptions.IncorrectFileSystemLifeCycleState
delete_mount_target(**kwargs)

Deletes the specified mount target.

This operation forcibly breaks any mounts of the file system by using the mount target that is being deleted, which might disrupt instances or applications using those mounts. To avoid applications getting cut off abruptly, you might consider unmounting any mounts of the mount target, if feasible. The operation also deletes the associated network interface. Uncommitted writes might be lost, but breaking a mount target using this operation does not corrupt the file system itself. The file system you created remains. You can mount an EC2 instance in your VPC by using another mount target.

This operation requires permissions for the following action on the file system:

  • elasticfilesystem:DeleteMountTarget

Note

The DeleteMountTarget call returns while the mount target state is still deleting . You can check the mount target deletion by calling the DescribeMountTargets operation, which returns a list of mount target descriptions for the given file system.

The operation also requires permissions for the following Amazon EC2 action on the mount target's network interface:

  • ec2:DeleteNetworkInterface

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.delete_mount_target(
    MountTargetId='string'
)
Parameters
MountTargetId (string) --

[REQUIRED]

The ID of the mount target to delete (String).

Returns
None

Exceptions

  • EFS.Client.exceptions.BadRequest

)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
delete_replication_configuration(**kwargs)

Deletes an existing replication configuration. To delete a replication configuration, you must make the request from the Amazon Web Services Region in which the destination file system is located. Deleting a replication configuration ends the replication process. After a replication configuration is deleted, the destination file system is no longer read-only. You can write to the destination file system after its status becomes Writeable .

describe_file_systems(**kwargs)

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. Currently, this number is automatically set to 10. 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.

  • EFS.Client.exceptions.FileSystemNotFound
  • EFS.Client.exceptions.InvalidPolicyException
  • EFS.Client.exceptions.IncorrectFileSystemLifeCycleState
put_lifecycle_configuration(**kwargs)

Use this action to manage EFS lifecycle management and intelligent tiering. A LifecycleConfiguration consists of one or more LifecyclePolicy objects that define the following:

  • EFS Lifecycle management - When Amazon EFS automatically transitions files in a file system into the lower-cost Infrequent Access (IA) storage class. To enable EFS Lifecycle management, set the value of TransitionToIA to one of the available options.
  • EFS Intelligent tiering - When Amazon EFS automatically transitions files from IA back into the file system's primary storage class (Standard or One Zone Standard. To enable EFS Intelligent Tiering, set the value of TransitionToPrimaryStorageClass to AFTER_1_ACCESS .

For more information, see EFS Lifecycle Management .

Each Amazon EFS file system supports one lifecycle configuration, which applies to all files in the file system. If a LifecycleConfiguration object already exists for the specified file system, a PutLifecycleConfiguration call modifies the existing configuration. A PutLifecycleConfiguration call with an empty LifecyclePolicies array in the request body deletes any existing LifecycleConfiguration and turns off lifecycle management and intelligent tiering for the file system.

In the request, specify the following:

  • The ID for the file system for which you are enabling, disabling, or modifying lifecycle management and intelligent tiering.
  • A LifecyclePolicies array of LifecyclePolicy objects that define when files are moved into IA storage, and when they are moved back to Standard storage.

Note

Amazon EFS requires that each LifecyclePolicy object have only have a single transition, so the LifecyclePolicies array needs to be structured with separate LifecyclePolicy objects. See the example requests in the following section for more information.

This operation requires permissions for the elasticfilesystem:PutLifecycleConfiguration operation.

To apply a LifecycleConfiguration object to an encrypted file system, you need the same Key Management Service permissions as when you created the encrypted file system.

    • When to move files that are in IA storage to primary storage.

    Note

    When using the put-lifecycle-configuration CLI command or the PutLifecycleConfiguration API action, Amazon EFS requires that each LifecyclePolicy object have only a single transition. This means that in a request body, LifecyclePolicies must be structured as an array of LifecyclePolicy objects, one object for each transition, TransitionToIA , TransitionToPrimaryStorageClass . See the example requests in the following section for more information.

    • (dict) --

      Describes a policy used by EFS lifecycle management and EFS Intelligent-Tiering that specifies when to transition files into and out of the file system's Infrequent Access (IA) storage class. For more information, see EFS Intelligent‐Tiering and EFS Lifecycle Management .

      Note

      When using the put-lifecycle-configuration CLI command or the PutLifecycleConfiguration API action, Amazon EFS requires that each LifecyclePolicy object have only a single transition. This means that in a request body, LifecyclePolicies must be structured as an array of LifecyclePolicy objects, one object for each transition, TransitionToIA , TransitionToPrimaryStorageClass . For more information, see the request examples in PutLifecycleConfiguration .

      • TransitionToIA (string) --

        Describes the period of time that a file is not accessed, after which it transitions to IA storage. Metadata operations such as listing the contents of a directory don't count as file access events.

This operation enables lifecycle management on a file system by creating a new LifecycleConfiguration object. A LifecycleConfiguration object defines when files in an Amazon EFS file system are automatically transitioned to the lower-cost EFS Infrequent Access (IA) storage class. A LifecycleConfiguration applies to all files in a file system.

response = client.put_lifecycle_configuration(
    FileSystemId='fs-01234567',
    LifecyclePolicies=[
        {
            'TransitionToIA': 'AFTER_30_DAYS',
        },
    ],
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'LifecyclePolicies': [
        {
            'TransitionToIA': 'AFTER_30_DAYS',
        },
    ],
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
