S3 Glacier code examples for the SDK for Python

Overview

Shows how to use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) to work with Amazon S3 Glacier.

S3 Glacier provides durable and extremely low-cost storage for infrequently used data with security features for data archiving and backup.

⚠ Important

  • Running this code might result in charges to your AWS account. For more details, see AWS Pricing and Free Tier.
  • Running the tests might result in charges to your AWS account.
  • We recommend that you grant your code least privilege. At most, grant only the minimum permissions required to perform the task. For more information, see Grant least privilege.
  • This code is not tested in every AWS Region. For more information, see AWS Regional Services.

Code examples

Prerequisites

For prerequisites, see the README in the python folder.

Install the packages required by these examples by running the following in a virtual environment:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Single actions

Code excerpts that show you how to call individual service functions.

Scenarios

Code examples that show you how to accomplish a specific task by calling multiple functions within the same service.

Run the examples

Instructions

Archive a file, get notifications, and initiate a job

This example shows you how to do the following:

  • Create an Amazon S3 Glacier vault.
  • Configure the vault to publish notifications to an Amazon SNS topic.
  • Upload an archive file to the vault.
  • Initiate an archive retrieval job.

Start the example by running the following at a command prompt:

python glacier_basics.py

Get archive content and delete the archive

This example shows you how to do the following:

  • List jobs for an Amazon S3 Glacier vault and get job status.
  • Get the output of a completed archive retrieval job.
  • Delete an archive.
  • Delete a vault.

Start the example by running the following at a command prompt:

python glacier_basics.py

Because Amazon S3 Glacier is designed for infrequent retrieval, a typical retrieval job takes 3–5 hours to complete.

Tests

⚠ Running tests might result in charges to your AWS account.

To find instructions for running these tests, see the README in the python folder.
