              • Location (string) –

                [Custom snapshot policies only] Specifies the destination for snapshots created by the policy. To create snapshots in the same Region as the source resource, specify CLOUD. To create snapshots on the same Outpost as the source resource, specify OUTPOST_LOCAL. If you omit this parameter, CLOUD is used by default.

                If the policy targets resources in an Amazon Web Services Region, then you must create snapshots in the same Region as the source resource. If the policy targets resources on an Outpost, then you can create snapshots on the same Outpost as the source resource, or in the Region of that Outpost.

              • Interval (integer) –

                The interval between snapshots. The supported values are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24.

                The interval unit.

              • Times (list) –

                The time, in UTC, to start the operation. The supported format is hh:mm.

                The operation occurs within a one-hour window following the specified time. If you do not specify a time, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager selects a time within the next 24 hours.

                • (string) –

              • CronExpression (string) –

                The schedule, as a Cron expression. The schedule interval must be between 1 hour and 1 year. For more information, see Cron expressions in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.

              • Scripts (list) –

                [Custom snapshot policies that target instances only] Specifies pre and/or post scripts for a snapshot lifecycle policy that targets instances. This is useful for creating application-consistent snapshots, or for performing specific administrative tasks before or after Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager initiates snapshot creation.

                For more information, see Automating application-consistent snapshots with pre and post scripts.

                • (dict) –

                  [Custom snapshot policies that target instances only] Information about pre and/or post scripts for a snapshot lifecycle policy that targets instances. For more information, see Automating application-consistent snapshots with pre and post scripts.

                  • Stages (list) –

                    Indicate which scripts Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager should run on target instances. Pre scripts run before Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager initiates snapshot creation. Post scripts run after Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager initiates snapshot creation.

                    • To run a pre script only, specify PRE. In this case, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager calls the SSM document with the pre-script parameter before initiating snapshot creation.

                    • To run a post script only, specify POST. In this case, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager calls the SSM document with the post-script parameter after initiating snapshot creation.

                    • To run both pre and post scripts, specify both PRE and POST. In this case, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager calls the SSM document with the pre-script parameter before initiating snapshot creation, and then it calls the SSM document again with the post-script parameter after initiating snapshot creation.

                    If you are automating VSS Backups, omit this parameter.

                    Default: PRE and POST

                    • (string) –

                  • ExecutionHandlerService (string) –

                    Indicates the service used to execute the pre and/or post scripts.

                    • If you are using custom SSM documents or automating application-consistent snapshots of SAP HANA workloads, specify AWS_SYSTEMS_MANAGER.

                    • If you are automating VSS Backups, omit this parameter.

                    Default: AWS_SYSTEMS_MANAGER

                  • ExecutionHandler (string) –

                    The SSM document that includes the pre and/or post scripts to run.

                    • If you are automating VSS backups, specify AWS_VSS_BACKUP. In this case, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager automatically uses the AWSEC2-CreateVssSnapshot SSM document.

                    • If you are automating application-consistent snapshots for SAP HANA workloads, specify AWSSystemsManagerSAP-CreateDLMSnapshotForSAPHANA.

                    • If you are using a custom SSM document that you own, specify either the name or ARN of the SSM document. If you are using a custom SSM document that is shared with you, specify the ARN of the SSM document.

                  • ExecuteOperationOnScriptFailure (boolean) –

                    Indicates whether Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager should default to crash-consistent snapshots if the pre script fails.

                    • To default to crash consistent snapshot if the pre script fails, specify true.

                    • To skip the instance for snapshot creation if the pre script fails, specify false.

                    This parameter is supported only if you run a pre script. If you run a post script only, omit this parameter.

If a script does not complete within its timeout period, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager fails the attempt. The timeout period applies to the pre and post scripts individually.

                    If you are automating VSS Backups, omit this parameter.

                    Default: 10

                    If you do not want Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to retry failed scripts, specify 0.
