EC2.ServiceResource.snapshots#

A collection of Snapshot resources.A Snapshot Collection will include all resources by default, and extreme caution should be taken when performing actions on all resources.

all()#

Creates an iterable of all Snapshot resources in the collection.

Request Syntax

snapshot_iterator = ec2.snapshots.all()
Return type:

list(ec2.Snapshot)

Returns:

A list of Snapshot resources

filter(**kwargs)#

Creates an iterable of all Snapshot resources in the collection filtered by kwargs passed to method. A Snapshot collection will include all resources by default if no filters are provided, and extreme caution should be taken when performing actions on all resources.

Request Syntax

snapshot_iterator = ec2.snapshots.filter(
    Filters=[
        {
            'Name': 'string',
            'Values': [
                'string',
            ]
        },
    ],
    MaxResults=123,
    NextToken='string',
    OwnerIds=[
        'string',
    ],
    RestorableByUserIds=[
        'string',
    ],
    SnapshotIds=[
        'string',
    ],
    DryRun=True|False
)
Parameters:

  • Filters (list) –

    The filters.

    • description - A description of the snapshot.

    • encrypted - Indicates whether the snapshot is encrypted ( true | false)

    • owner-alias - The owner alias, from an Amazon-maintained list ( amazon). This is not the user-configured Amazon Web Services account alias set using the IAM console. We recommend that you use the related parameter instead of this filter.

    • owner-id - The Amazon Web Services account ID of the owner. We recommend that you use the related parameter instead of this filter.

    • progress - The progress of the snapshot, as a percentage (for example, 80%).

    • snapshot-id - The snapshot ID.

    • start-time - The time stamp when the snapshot was initiated.

    • status - The status of the snapshot ( pending | completed | error).

    • storage-tier - The storage tier of the snapshot ( archive | standard).

    • tag:<key> - The key/value combination of a tag assigned to the resource. Use the tag key in the filter name and the tag value as the filter value. For example, to find all resources that have a tag with the key Owner and the value TeamA, specify tag:Owner for the filter name and TeamA for the filter value.

    • tag-key - The key of a tag assigned to the resource. Use this filter to find all resources assigned a tag with a specific key, regardless of the tag value.

    • volume-id - The ID of the volume the snapshot is for.

    • volume-size - The size of the volume, in GiB.

    • (dict) –

      A filter name and value pair that is used to return a more specific list of results from a describe operation. Filters can be used to match a set of resources by specific criteria, such as tags, attributes, or IDs.

      If you specify multiple filters, the filters are joined with an AND, and the request returns only results that match all of the specified filters.

      • Name (string) –

        The name of the filter. Filter names are case-sensitive.

      • Values (list) –

        The filter values. Filter values are case-sensitive. If you specify multiple values for a filter, the values are joined with an OR, and the request returns all results that match any of the specified values.

        • (string) –

  • MaxResults (integer) – The maximum number of snapshots to return for this request. This value can be between 5 and 1,000; if this value is larger than 1,000, only 1,000 results are returned. If this parameter is not used, then the request returns all snapshots. You cannot specify this parameter and the snapshot IDs parameter in the same request. For more information, see Pagination.

  • NextToken (string) – The token returned from a previous paginated request. Pagination continues from the end of the items returned by the previous request.

  • OwnerIds (list) –

    Scopes the results to snapshots with the specified owners. You can specify a combination of Amazon Web Services account IDs, self, and amazon.

    • (string) –

  • RestorableByUserIds (list) –

    The IDs of the Amazon Web Services accounts that can create volumes from the snapshot.

    • (string) –

  • SnapshotIds (list) –

    The snapshot IDs.

    Default: Describes the snapshots for which you have create volume permissions.

    • (string) –

  • DryRun (boolean) – Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.
