AWS API Changes

2019/04/24 - AWS Storage Gateway - 3 updated api methods

Changes AWS Storage Gateway now supports Access Control Lists (ACLs) on File Gateway SMB shares, enabling you to apply fine grained access controls for Active Directory users and groups.

CreateSMBFileShare (updated)

Link ¶
Changes (request)

{'SMBACLEnabled': 'boolean'}

Creates a Server Message Block (SMB) file share on an existing file gateway. In Storage Gateway, a file share is a file system mount point backed by Amazon S3 cloud storage. Storage Gateway expose file shares using a SMB interface. This operation is only supported for file gateways.

Warning

File gateways require AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) to be activated to enable you to create a file share. Make sure that AWS STS is activated in the AWS Region you are creating your file gateway in. If AWS STS is not activated in this AWS Region, activate it. For information about how to activate AWS STS, see Activating and Deactivating AWS STS in an AWS Region in the AWS Identity and Access Management User Guide.

File gateways don't support creating hard or symbolic links on a file share.

[REQUIRED]

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the file gateway on which you want to create a file share.
