{'SseType': 'sse-ebs | sse-kms | none'}
Creates a snapshot of an EBS volume and stores it in Amazon S3. You can use snapshots for backups, to make copies of EBS volumes, and to save data before shutting down an instance.
You can create snapshots of volumes in a Region and volumes on an Outpost. If you create a snapshot of a volume in a Region, the snapshot must be stored in the same Region as the volume. If you create a snapshot of a volume on an Outpost, the snapshot can be stored on the same Outpost as the volume, or in the Region for that Outpost.
When a snapshot is created, any Amazon Web Services Marketplace product codes that are associated with the source volume are propagated to the snapshot.
You can take a snapshot of an attached volume that is in use. However, snapshots only capture data that has been written to your Amazon EBS volume at the time the snapshot command is issued; this might exclude any data that has been cached by any applications or the operating system. If you can pause any file systems on the volume long enough to take a snapshot, your snapshot should be complete. However, if you cannot pause all file writes to the volume, you should unmount the volume from within the instance, issue the snapshot command, and then remount the volume to ensure a consistent and complete snapshot. You may remount and use your volume while the snapshot status is pending .
When you create a snapshot for an EBS volume that serves as a root device, we recommend that you stop the instance before taking the snapshot.
Snapshots that are taken from encrypted volumes are automatically encrypted. Volumes that are created from encrypted snapshots are also automatically encrypted. Your encrypted volumes and any associated snapshots always remain protected.
You can tag your snapshots during creation. For more information, see Tag your Amazon EC2 resources in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
For more information, see Amazon Elastic Block Store and Amazon EBS encryption in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

{'Snapshots': {'SseType': 'sse-ebs | sse-kms | none'}}
Creates crash-consistent snapshots of multiple EBS volumes and stores the data in S3. Volumes are chosen by specifying an instance. Any attached volumes will produce one snapshot each that is crash-consistent across the instance.
You can include all of the volumes currently attached to the instance, or you can exclude the root volume or specific data (non-root) volumes from the multi-volume snapshot set.
You can create multi-volume snapshots of instances in a Region and instances on an Outpost. If you create snapshots from an instance in a Region, the snapshots must be stored in the same Region as the instance. If you create snapshots from an instance on an Outpost, the snapshots can be stored on the same Outpost as the instance, or in the Region for that Outpost.

)
string
[REQUIRED]
The ID of the Availability Zone in which to create the volume. For example, us-east-1a .
boolean
Indicates whether the volume should be encrypted. The effect of setting the encryption state to true depends on the volume origin (new or from a snapshot), starting encryption state, ownership, and whether encryption by default is enabled. For more information, see Encryption by default in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
Encrypted Amazon EBS volumes must be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption. For more information, see Supported instance types .
integer
The number of I/O operations per second (IOPS). For gp3 , io1 , and io2 volumes, this represents the number of IOPS that are provisioned for the volume. For gp2 volumes, this represents the baseline performance of the volume and the rate at which the volume accumulates I/O credits for bursting.
The following are the supported values for each volume type:
gp3 : 3,000-16,000 IOPS
io1 : 100-64,000 IOPS
io2 : 100-64,000 IOPS
io1 and io2 volumes support up to 64,000 IOPS only on Instances built on the Nitro System . Other instance families support performance up to 32,000 IOPS.
This parameter is required for io1 and io2 volumes. The default for gp3 volumes is 3,000 IOPS. This parameter is not supported for gp2 , st1 , sc1 , or standard volumes.
string
The identifier of the Key Management Service (KMS) KMS key to use for Amazon EBS encryption. If this parameter is not specified, your KMS key for Amazon EBS is used. If KmsKeyId is specified, the encrypted state must be true .
You can specify the KMS key using any of the following:
Key ID. For example, 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.
Key alias. For example, alias/ExampleAlias.
Key ARN. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:012345678910:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.
Alias ARN. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:012345678910:alias/ExampleAlias.
Amazon Web Services authenticates the KMS key asynchronously. Therefore, if you specify an ID, alias, or ARN that is not valid, the action can appear to complete, but eventually fails.
string
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Outpost.
integer
The size of the volume, in GiBs. You must specify either a snapshot ID or a volume size. If you specify a snapshot, the default is the snapshot size. You can specify a volume size that is equal to or larger than the snapshot size.
The following are the supported volumes sizes for each volume type:
gp2 and gp3 : 1-16,384
io1 and io2 : 4-16,384
st1 and sc1 : 125-16,384
standard : 1-1,024
string
The snapshot from which to create the volume. You must specify either a snapshot ID or a volume size.
string
The volume type. This parameter can be one of the following values:
General Purpose SSD: gp2 | gp3
Provisioned IOPS SSD: io1 | io2
Throughput Optimized HDD: st1
Cold HDD: sc1
Magnetic: standard
Warning
Throughput Optimized HDD (st1 ) and Cold HDD (sc1 ) volumes can't be used as boot volumes.
For more information, see Amazon EBS volume types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
Default: gp2
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 .
list
The tags to apply to the volume during creation.
(dict) --
The tags to apply to a resource when the resource is being created. When you specify a tag, you must specify the resource type to tag, otherwise the request will fail.
Note
The Valid Values lists all the resource types that can be tagged. However, the action you're using might not support tagging all of these resource types. If you try to tag a resource type that is unsupported for the action you're using, you'll get an error.

boolean
Indicates whether to enable Amazon EBS Multi-Attach. If you enable Multi-Attach, you can attach the volume to up to 16 Instances built on the Nitro System in the same Availability Zone. This parameter is supported with io1 and io2 volumes only. For more information, see Amazon EBS Multi-Attach in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
integer
The throughput to provision for a volume, with a maximum of 1,000 MiB/s.
This parameter is valid only for gp3 volumes.
Valid Range: Minimum value of 125. Maximum value of 1000.
string
Unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. For more information, see Ensure Idempotency .

The snapshots available to you include public snapshots, private snapshots that you own, and private snapshots owned by other Amazon Web Services accounts for which you have explicit create volume permissions.
The create volume permissions fall into the following categories:
public : The owner of the snapshot granted create volume permissions for the snapshot to the all group. All Amazon Web Services accounts have create volume permissions for these snapshots.
explicit : The owner of the snapshot granted create volume permissions to a specific Amazon Web Services account.
implicit : An Amazon Web Services account has implicit create volume permissions for all snapshots it owns.
The list of snapshots returned can be filtered by specifying snapshot IDs, snapshot owners, or Amazon Web Services accounts with create volume permissions. If no options are specified, Amazon EC2 returns all snapshots for which you have create volume permissions.
If you specify one or more snapshot IDs, only snapshots that have the specified IDs are returned. If you specify an invalid snapshot ID, an error is returned. If you specify a snapshot ID for which you do not have access, it is not included in the returned results.
If you specify one or more snapshot owners using the OwnerIds option, only snapshots from the specified owners and for which you have access are returned. The results can include the Amazon Web Services account IDs of the specified owners, amazon for snapshots owned by Amazon, or self for snapshots that you own.
If you specify a list of restorable users, only snapshots with create snapshot permissions for those users are returned. You can specify Amazon Web Services account IDs (if you own the snapshots), self for snapshots for which you own or have explicit permissions, or all for public snapshots.
If you are describing a long list of snapshots, we recommend that you paginate the output to make the list more manageable. For more information, see Pagination .

(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.

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) --
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 .
string
The token returned from a previous paginated request. Pagination continues from the end of the items returned by the previous request.
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) --
list
The IDs of the Amazon Web Services accounts that can create volumes from the snapshot.
(string) --
list
The snapshot IDs.
Default: Describes the snapshots for which you have create volume permissions.

Snapshots (list) --
Information about the snapshots.
(dict) --
Describes a snapshot.
DataEncryptionKeyId (string) --
The data encryption key identifier for the snapshot. This value is a unique identifier that corresponds to the data encryption key that was used to encrypt the original volume or snapshot copy. Because data encryption keys are inherited by volumes created from snapshots, and vice versa, if snapshots share the same data encryption key identifier, then they belong to the same volume/snapshot lineage. This parameter is only returned by DescribeSnapshots .
Description (string) --
The description for the snapshot.
Encrypted (boolean) --
Indicates whether the snapshot is encrypted.
KmsKeyId (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Key Management Service (KMS) KMS key that was used to protect the volume encryption key for the parent volume.
OwnerId (string) --
The ID of the Amazon Web Services account that owns the EBS snapshot.
Progress (string) --
The progress of the snapshot, as a percentage.
SnapshotId (string) --
The ID of the snapshot. Each snapshot receives a unique identifier when it is created.
StartTime (datetime) --
The time stamp when the snapshot was initiated.
State (string) --
The snapshot state.
StateMessage (string) --
Encrypted Amazon EBS snapshots are copied asynchronously. If a snapshot copy operation fails (for example, if the proper Key Management Service (KMS) permissions are not obtained) this field displays error state details to help you diagnose why the error occurred. This parameter is only returned by DescribeSnapshots .
VolumeId (string) --
The ID of the volume that was used to create the snapshot. Snapshots created by the CopySnapshot action have an arbitrary volume ID that should not be used for any purpose.
VolumeSize (integer) --
The size of the volume, in GiB.
OwnerAlias (string) --
The Amazon Web Services owner alias, from an Amazon-maintained list (amazon ). This is not the user-configured Amazon Web Services account alias set using the IAM console.

Only for archived snapshots that are temporarily restored. Indicates the date and time when a temporarily restored snapshot will be automatically re-archived.
SseType (string) --
Reserved for future use.
NextToken (string) --
The token to include in another request to return the next page of snapshots. This value is null when there are no more snapshots to return.
