Storage Gateway Service
Storage Gateway is the service that connects an on-premises software appliance with cloud-based storage to provide seamless and secure integration between an organization's on-premises IT environment and the Amazon Web Services storage infrastructure. The service enables you to securely upload data to the Amazon Web Services Cloud for cost effective backup and rapid disaster recovery.
Use the following links to get started using the Storage Gateway Service API Reference:
Storage Gateway required request headers: Describes the required headers that you must send with every POST request to Storage Gateway.
Signing requests: Storage Gateway requires that you authenticate every request you send; this topic describes how sign such a request.
Error responses: Provides reference information about Storage Gateway errors.
Operations in Storage Gateway: Contains detailed descriptions of all Storage Gateway operations, their request parameters, response elements, possible errors, and examples of requests and responses.
Storage Gateway endpoints and quotas: Provides a list of each Amazon Web Services Region and the endpoints available for use with Storage Gateway.
Storage Gateway resource IDs are in uppercase. When you use these
resource IDs with the Amazon EC2 API, EC2 expects resource IDs in
lowercase. You must change your resource ID to lowercase to use it with
the EC2 API. For example, in Storage Gateway the ID for a volume might
be vol-AA22BB012345DAF670. When you use this ID with the EC2 API, you
must change it to vol-aa22bb012345daf670. Otherwise, the EC2 API might
not behave as expected.
IDs for Storage Gateway volumes and Amazon EBS snapshots created from gateway volumes are changing to a longer format. Starting in December 2016, all new volumes and snapshots will be created with a 17-character string. Starting in April 2016, you will be able to use these longer IDs so you can test your systems with the new format. For more information, see Longer EC2 and EBS resource IDs.
For example, a volume Amazon Resource Name (ARN) with the longer volume ID format looks like the following:
arn:aws:storagegateway:us-west-2:111122223333:gateway/sgw-12A3456B/volume/vol-1122AABBCCDDEEFFG.
A snapshot ID with the longer ID format looks like the following:
snap-78e226633445566ee.
For more information, see Announcement: Heads-up – Longer Storage Gateway volume and snapshot IDs coming in 2016.

)A client for the service. You can call the service's operations using
syntax like svc$operation(...), where svc is the name you've assigned
to the client. The available operations are listed in the
Operations section.
Optional configuration of credentials, endpoint, and/or region.
credentials:
creds:
access_key_id: AWS access key ID
secret_access_key: AWS secret access key
session_token: AWS temporary session token
profile: The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used.
anonymous: Set anonymous credentials.
endpoint: The complete URL to use for the constructed client.
region: The AWS Region used in instantiating the client.
close_connection: Immediately close all HTTP connections.
timeout: The time in seconds till a timeout exception is thrown when attempting to make a connection. The default is 60 seconds.
s3_force_path_style: Set this to true to force the request to use path-style addressing, i.e. http://s3.amazonaws.com/BUCKET/KEY.
sts_regional_endpoint: Set sts regional endpoint resolver to regional or legacy https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-sts-regionalized-endpoints.html
Optional credentials shorthand for the config parameter
creds:
access_key_id: AWS access key ID
secret_access_key: AWS secret access key
session_token: AWS temporary session token
profile: The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used.
anonymous: Set anonymous credentials.
Optional shorthand for complete URL to use for the constructed client.
Optional shorthand for AWS Region used in instantiating the client.
