Starting a Release Job
As an example, let’s take a look at how to utilize the console to start a release job. To define requirements for files to launch (for instance, directory sites or time given that last gain access to), we specify release information repository jobs (DRTs). DRTs launch all files that are integrated with Amazon S3 which satisfy the defined requirements. It deserves keeping in mind that release DRTs are processed in series. This indicates that if you send a release DRT while another DRT (for instance, import or export) remains in development, the release DRT will be queued however not processed till after the import or export DRT has actually finished.
Note: For the information repository association to work, automated backups for the file system should be handicapped (utilize the Backups tab to do this). Second of all, make sure that the file system and the associated S3 pail remain in the very same AWS Area.
I currently have an FSx for Lustre file system my-fsx-test.
I produce an information repository association, which is a link in between a directory site on the file system and an S3 pail or prefix.
I define the name of the S3 pail or an S3 prefix to be related to the file system.
After the information repository association has actually been produced, I choose Produce release job
The release job will launch directory sites or files that you wish to launch based upon your particular requirements (once again, crucial to keep in mind that these files or directory sites should be integrated with an S3 pail in order for the release to work). If you defined the minimum last gain access to for release (in addition to the directory site), submits that have actually not been accessed more just recently than that will be launched.
In my example, I selected to Disable conclusion reports. Nevertheless, if you select to Enable conclusion reports, the release job will produce a report at the end of the release job.
Files that have actually been launched can still be accessed utilizing existing FSx for Lustre performance to instantly obtain information from Amazon S3 back to the file system as needed. This is because, although launched, their metadata remains on the file system.
Submit release will not instantly avoid your file system from ending up being complete. It stays crucial to make sure that you do not compose more information than the offered storage capability prior to you run the next release job.
