Activates the gateway you previously deployed on your host. In the activation process, you specify information such as the Amazon Web Services Region that you want to use for storing snapshots or tapes, the time zone for scheduled snapshots the gateway snapshot schedule window, an activation key, and a name for your gateway. The activation process also associates your gateway with your account. For more information, see update_gateway_information.

)[required] Your gateway activation key. You can obtain the activation key by
sending an HTTP GET request with redirects enabled to the gateway IP
address (port 80). The redirect URL returned in the response provides
you the activation key for your gateway in the query string parameter
activationKey. It may also include other activation-related
parameters, however, these are merely defaults -- the arguments you pass
to the activate_gateway API call
determine the actual configuration of your gateway.
For more information, see Getting activation key in the Storage Gateway User Guide.
[required] The name you configured for your gateway.
[required] A value that indicates the time zone you want to set for the gateway. The time zone is of the format "GMT", "GMT-hr:mm", or "GMT+hr:mm". For example, GMT indicates Greenwich Mean Time without any offset. GMT-4:00 indicates the time is 4 hours behind GMT. GMT+2:00 indicates the time is 2 hours ahead of GMT. The time zone is used, for example, for scheduling snapshots and your gateway's maintenance schedule.
[required] A value that indicates the Amazon Web Services Region where you want to
store your data. The gateway Amazon Web Services Region specified must
be the same Amazon Web Services Region as the Amazon Web Services Region
in your Host header in the request. For more information about
