EFS / Client / put_lifecycle_configuration

put_lifecycle_configuration#

EFS.Client.put_lifecycle_configuration(**kwargs)#

Use this action to manage EFS lifecycle management and EFS 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 EFS 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 (EFS Standard or EFS 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 EFS 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 EFS 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.

Request Syntax

response = client.put_lifecycle_configuration(
    FileSystemId='string',
    LifecyclePolicies=[
        {
            'TransitionToIA': 'AFTER_7_DAYS'|'AFTER_14_DAYS'|'AFTER_30_DAYS'|'AFTER_60_DAYS'|'AFTER_90_DAYS'|'AFTER_1_DAY',
            'TransitionToPrimaryStorageClass': 'AFTER_1_ACCESS'
        },
    ]
)
Parameters:

  • FileSystemId (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The ID of the file system for which you are creating the LifecycleConfiguration object (String).

  • LifecyclePolicies (list) –

    [REQUIRED]

    An array of LifecyclePolicy objects that define the file system’s LifecycleConfiguration object. A LifecycleConfiguration object informs EFS lifecycle management and EFS Intelligent-Tiering of the following:

    • When to move files in the file system from primary storage to the IA storage class.

    • 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.

      • TransitionToPrimaryStorageClass (string) –

        Describes when to transition a file from IA storage to primary storage. Metadata operations such as listing the contents of a directory don’t count as file access events.

Return type:

dict

Returns:

Response Structure

  • (dict) –

    • LifecyclePolicies (list) –

      An array of lifecycle management policies. EFS supports a maximum of one policy per file system.

      • (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.

        • TransitionToPrimaryStorageClass (string) –

          Describes when to transition a file from IA storage to primary storage. Metadata operations such as listing the contents of a directory don’t count as file access events.

Exceptions

  • EFS.Client.exceptions.BadRequest

  • EFS.Client.exceptions.InternalServerError

  • EFS.Client.exceptions.FileSystemNotFound

  • EFS.Client.exceptions.IncorrectFileSystemLifeCycleState

Examples

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',
        },
    ],
