/**
* Amazon FSx File Gateway is no longer available to new customers. Existing
* customers of FSx File Gateway can continue to use the service normally. For
* capabilities similar to FSx File Gateway, visit this blog post.
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.
