create_location_object_storage¶
- DataSync.Client.create_location_object_storage(**kwargs)¶
Creates a transfer location for an object storage system. DataSync can use this location as a source or destination for transferring data. You can make transfers with or without a DataSync agent.
Before you begin, make sure that you understand the prerequisites for DataSync to work with object storage systems.

Request Syntax
response = client.create_location_object_storage( ServerHostname='string', ServerPort=123, ServerProtocol='HTTPS'|'HTTP', Subdirectory='string', BucketName='string', AccessKey='string', SecretKey='string', AgentArns=[ 'string', ], Tags=[ { 'Key': 'string', 'Value': 'string' }, ], ServerCertificate=b'bytes', CmkSecretConfig={ 'SecretArn': 'string', 'KmsKeyArn': 'string' }, CustomSecretConfig={ 'SecretArn': 'string', 'SecretAccessRoleArn': 'string' } )
- Parameters:
ServerHostname (string) –
[REQUIRED]
Specifies the domain name or IP version 4 (IPv4) address of the object storage server that your DataSync agent connects to.
ServerPort (integer) – Specifies the port that your object storage server accepts inbound network traffic on (for example, port 443).
ServerProtocol (string) – Specifies the protocol that your object storage server uses to communicate.
Subdirectory (string) – Specifies the object prefix for your object storage server. If this is a source location, DataSync only copies objects with this prefix. If this is a destination location, DataSync writes all objects with this prefix.
BucketName (string) –
[REQUIRED]
Specifies the name of the object storage bucket involved in the transfer.
AccessKey (string) – Specifies the access key (for example, a user name) if credentials are required to authenticate with the object storage server.
SecretKey (string) – Specifies the secret key (for example, a password) if credentials are required to authenticate with the object storage server.
AgentArns (list) –
(Optional) Specifies the Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the DataSync agents that can connect with your object storage system. If you are setting up an agentless cross-cloud transfer, you do not need to specify a value for this parameter.
Note
Make sure you configure this parameter correctly when you first create your storage location. You cannot add or remove agents from a storage location after you create it.
(string) –
Tags (list) –
Specifies the key-value pair that represents a tag that you want to add to the resource. Tags can help you manage, filter, and search for your resources. We recommend creating a name tag for your location.
(dict) –
A key-value pair representing a single tag that’s been applied to an Amazon Web Services resource.
Key (string) – [REQUIRED]
The key for an Amazon Web Services resource tag.
Value (string) –
The value for an Amazon Web Services resource tag.
ServerCertificate (bytes) –
Specifies a certificate chain for DataSync to authenticate with your object storage system if the system uses a private or self-signed certificate authority (CA). You must specify a single
.pem
file with a full certificate chain (for example,file:///home/user/.ssh/object_storage_certificates.pem
).The certificate chain might include:
The object storage system’s certificate
All intermediate certificates (if there are any)
The root certificate of the signing CA
You can concatenate your certificates into a
.pem
file (which can be up to 32768 bytes before base64 encoding). The following examplecat
command creates anobject_storage_certificates.pem
file that includes three certificates:cat object_server_certificate.pem intermediate_certificate.pem ca_root_certificate.pem > object_storage_certificates.pem
To use this parameter, configure
ServerProtocol
toHTTPS
.CmkSecretConfig (dict) –
Specifies configuration information for a DataSync-managed secret, which includes the
SecretKey
that DataSync uses to access a specific object storage location, with a customer-managed KMS key.When you include this paramater as part of a
CreateLocationObjectStorage
request, you provide only the KMS key ARN. DataSync uses this KMS key together with the value you specify for theSecretKey
parameter to create a DataSync-managed secret to store the location access credentials.Make sure the DataSync has permission to access the KMS key that you specify.
Note
You can use either
CmkSecretConfig
(withSecretKey
) orCustomSecretConfig
(withoutSecretKey
) to provide credentials for aCreateLocationObjectStorage
request. Do not provide both parameters for the same request.SecretArn (string) –
Specifies the ARN for the DataSync-managed Secrets Manager secret that that is used to access a specific storage location. This property is generated by DataSync and is read-only. DataSync encrypts this secret with the KMS key that you specify for
KmsKeyArn
.KmsKeyArn (string) –
Specifies the ARN for the customer-managed KMS key that DataSync uses to encrypt the DataSync-managed secret stored for
SecretArn
. DataSync provides this key to Secrets Manager.
CustomSecretConfig (dict) –
Specifies configuration information for a customer-managed Secrets Manager secret where the secret key for a specific object storage location is stored in plain text. This configuration includes the secret ARN, and the ARN for an IAM role that provides access to the secret.
Note
You can use either
CmkSecretConfig
(withSecretKey
) orCustomSecretConfig
(withoutSecretKey
) to provide credentials for aCreateLocationObjectStorage
request. Do not provide both parameters for the same request.SecretArn (string) –
Specifies the ARN for an Secrets Manager secret.
SecretAccessRoleArn (string) –
Specifies the ARN for the Identity and Access Management role that DataSync uses to access the secret specified for
SecretArn
.
