Defined in:

Overview

Represents a collection of Amazon EBS snapshots. Typically you should get an instance of this class by calling #snapshots.

Examples:

Create a snapshot from a volume

ec2.snapshots.create(:volume => ec2.volumes["vol-123"],
                     :description => "my snapshot")
# or:
ec2.volumes["vol-123"].create_snapshot("my snapshot")

Get a snapshot by ID

snapshot = ec2.snapshots["vol-123"]
snapshot.exists?

Get a map of snapshot IDs to snapshot status

ec2.snapshots.inject({}) { |m, s| m[i.id] = s.status; m }
# => { "snap-12345678" => :pending, "snap-87654321" => :completed }

#create(opts = {}) ⇒ Snapshot

Creates a snapshot of an Amazon EBS volume and stores it in Amazon S3. You can use snapshots for backups, to make identical copies of instance devices, and to save data before shutting down an instance. For more information about Amazon EBS, go to the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

Parameters:

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    Options for creating the snapshot. Either :volume or :volume_id is required.

  • opts (Volume) (defaults to: {}) —

    :volume The Amazon EBS volume of which to take a snapshot.

  • opts (String) (defaults to: {}) —

    :volume_id The ID of the Amazon EBS volume of which to take a snapshot.

  • opts (String) (defaults to: {}) —

    :description An optional description of the snapshot. May contain up to 255 characters.

Returns:

  • (Snapshot) —

    An object representing the new snapshot.

  Snapshot.new(resp.snapshot_id, :config => config)
end

#each {|Instance| ... } ⇒ nil

Yields:

  • (Instance) —

#restorable_by(*users) ⇒ ImageCollection

Returns A new collection that only includes images for which the specified user ID has explicit launch permissions. The user ID can be an AWS account ID, :self to return AMIs for which the sender of the request has explicit launch permissions, or :all to return AMIs with public launch permissions.

Parameters:

  • users (Array of Strings) —

    The AWS account IDs by which the new collection should be filtered.

Returns:

  • (ImageCollection) —

    A new collection that only includes images for which the specified user ID has explicit launch permissions. The user ID can be an AWS account ID, :self to return AMIs for which the sender of the request has explicit launch permissions, or :all to return AMIs with public launch permissions.

#with_owner(*owners) ⇒ SnapshotCollection

Returns A new collection that only includes snapshots owned by one or more of the specified AWS accounts. The IDs :amazon and :self can be used to include snapshots owned by Amazon or AMIs owned by you, respectively.

Parameters:

  • owners (Array of Strings) —

    The AWS account IDs by which the new collection should be filtered.

Returns:

  • (SnapshotCollection) —

    A new collection that only includes snapshots owned by one or more of the specified AWS accounts. The IDs :amazon and :self can be used to include snapshots owned by Amazon or AMIs owned by you, respectively.
