Creates an EBS volume that can be attached to an instance in the same Availability Zone.
You can create a new empty volume or restore a volume from an EBS snapshot. Any AWS Marketplace product codes from the snapshot are propagated to the volume.
You can create encrypted volumes. Encrypted volumes must be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption. Volumes that are created from encrypted snapshots are also automatically encrypted. For more information, see Amazon EBS encryption in the Amazon EBS User Guide.
You can tag your volumes during creation. For more information, see Tag your Amazon EC2 resources in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
For more information, see Create an Amazon EBS volume in the Amazon EBS User Guide.
Request ParametersThe following parameters are for this specific action. For more information about required and optional parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Query Parameters.
The ID of the Availability Zone in which to create the volume. For example, us-east-1a
.
Either AvailabilityZone
or AvailabilityZoneId
must be specified, but not both.
Type: String
Required: No
The ID of the Availability Zone in which to create the volume. For example, use1-az1
.
Either AvailabilityZone
or AvailabilityZoneId
must be specified, but not both.
Type: String
Required: No
Unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. For more information, see Ensure Idempotency.
Type: String
Required: No
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
.
Type: Boolean
Required: No
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 EBS User Guide.
Encrypted Amazon EBS volumes must be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption. For more information, see Supported instance types.
Type: Boolean
Required: No
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 - 256,000 IOPS
For io2
volumes, you can achieve up to 256,000 IOPS on instances built on the Nitro System. On other instances, you can achieve 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.
Type: Integer
Required: No
The identifier of the AWS KMS key to use for Amazon EBS encryption. If this parameter is not specified, your AWS 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.
AWS 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.
Type: String
Required: No
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 EBS User Guide.
Type: Boolean
Required: No
Reserved for internal use.
Type: OperatorRequest object
Required: No
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Outpost on which to create the volume.
If you intend to use a volume with an instance running on an outpost, then you must create the volume on the same outpost as the instance. You can't use a volume created in an AWS Region with an instance on an AWS outpost, or the other way around.
Type: String
Required: No
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 GiB
io1
: 4 - 16,384 GiB
io2
: 4 - 65,536 GiB
st1
and sc1
: 125 - 16,384 GiB
standard
: 1 - 1024 GiB
Type: Integer
Required: No
The snapshot from which to create the volume. You must specify either a snapshot ID or a volume size.
Type: String
Required: No
The tags to apply to the volume during creation.
Type: Array of TagSpecification objects
Required: No
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.
Type: Integer
Required: No
Specifies the Amazon EBS Provisioned Rate for Volume Initialization (volume initialization rate), in MiB/s, at which to download the snapshot blocks from Amazon S3 to the volume. This is also known as volume initialization. Specifying a volume initialization rate ensures that the volume is initialized at a predictable and consistent rate after creation.
This parameter is supported only for volumes created from snapshots. Omit this parameter if:
You want to create the volume using fast snapshot restore. You must specify a snapshot that is enabled for fast snapshot restore. In this case, the volume is fully initialized at creation.
NoteIf you specify a snapshot that is enabled for fast snapshot restore and a volume initialization rate, the volume will be initialized at the specified rate instead of fast snapshot restore.
You want to create a volume that is initialized at the default rate.
For more information, see Initialize Amazon EBS volumes in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
Valid range: 100 - 300 MiB/s
Type: Integer
Required: No
The volume type. This parameter can be one of the following values:
General Purpose SSD: gp2
