Fields

NameDatatypeDescription
file_system_idstring
arnstring
encryptedbooleanA Boolean value that, if true, creates an encrypted file system. When creating an encrypted file system, you have the option of specifying a KmsKeyId for an existing kms-key-long. If you don't specify a kms-key, then the default kms-key for EFS, ``/aws/elasticfilesystem``, is used to protect the encrypted file system.
file_system_tagsarrayUse 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 resources](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws_tagging.html) in the *General Reference Guide*.
kms_key_idstringThe ID of the kms-key-long to be used to protect the encrypted file system. This parameter is only required if you want to use a nondefault kms-key. If this parameter is not specified, the default kms-key for EFS is used. This ID can be in one of the following formats:<br/> + Key ID - A unique identifier of the key, for example ``1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab``.<br/> + ARN - An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the key, for example ``arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab``.<br/> + Key alias - A previously created display name for a key, for example ``alias/projectKey1``.<br/> + Key alias ARN - An ARN for a key alias, for example ``arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:444455556666:alias/projectKey1``.<br/> <br/> If ``KmsKeyId`` is specified, the ``Encrypted`` parameter must be set to true.
lifecycle_policiesarrayAn array of ``LifecyclePolicy`` objects that define the file system's ``LifecycleConfiguration`` object. A ``LifecycleConfiguration`` object informs Lifecycle management of the following:<br/> + When to move files in the file system from primary storage to IA storage.<br/> + When to move files in the file system from primary storage or IA storage to Archive storage.<br/> + When to move files that are in IA or Archive storage to primary storage.<br/> <br/> EFS requires that each ``LifecyclePolicy`` object have only a single transition. This means that in a request body, ``LifecyclePolicies`` needs to be structured as an array of ``LifecyclePolicy`` objects, one object for each transition, ``TransitionToIA``, ``TransitionToArchive`` ``TransitionToPrimaryStorageClass``. See the example requests in the following section for more information.
file_system_protectionobjectDescribes the protection on the file system.
performance_modestringThe Performance mode of the file system. We recommend ``generalPurpose`` performance mode for all 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. The ``maxIO`` mode is not supported on One Zone file systems.<br/> Due to the higher per-operation latencies with Max I/O, we recommend using General Purpose performance mode for all file systems.<br/> Default is ``generalPurpose``.
provisioned_throughput_in_mibpsnumberThe throughput, measured in mebibytes per second (MiBps), that you want to provision for a file system that you're creating. Required if ``ThroughputMode`` is set to ``provisioned``. Valid values are 1-3414 MiBps, with the upper limit depending on Region. To increase this limit, contact SUP. For more information, see [Amazon EFS quotas that you can increase](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/limits.html#soft-limits) in the *Amazon EFS User Guide*.
throughput_modestringSpecifies the throughput mode for the file system. The mode can be ``bursting``, ``provisioned``, or ``elastic``. 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 Provisioned throughput or change between the throughput modes, with certain time restrictions. For more information, see [Specifying throughput with provisioned mode](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/performance.html#provisioned-throughput) in the *Amazon EFS User Guide*. <br/> Default is ``bursting``.
file_system_policyobjectThe ``FileSystemPolicy`` for the EFS file system. A file system policy is an IAM resource policy used to control NFS access to an EFS file system. For more information, see [Using to control NFS access to Amazon EFS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/iam-access-control-nfs-efs.html) in the *Amazon EFS User Guide*.
bypass_policy_lockout_safety_checkboolean(Optional) A boolean that specifies whether or not to bypass the ``FileSystemPolicy`` lockout safety check. The lockout safety check determines whether the policy in the request will lock out, or prevent, the IAM principal that is making the request from making future ``PutFileSystemPolicy`` requests on this file system. Set ``BypassPolicyLockoutSafetyCheck`` to ``True`` only when you intend to prevent the IAM principal that is making the request from making subsequent ``PutFileSystemPolicy`` requests on this file system. The default value is ``False``.
backup_policyobjectUse the ``BackupPolicy`` to turn automatic backups on or off for the file system.
availability_zone_namestringFor One Zone file systems, specify the AWS 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 file systems, see [EFS file system types](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/availability-durability.html#file-system-type) in the *Amazon EFS User Guide*.<br/> One Zone file systems are not available in all Availability Zones in AWS-Regions where Amazon EFS is available.
replication_configurationobjectDescribes the replication configuration for a specific file system.
regionstringAWS region.
