presignedUrl
When you copy an encrypted source snapshot using the Amazon EC2 Query API, you must supply a pre-signed URL. This parameter is optional for unencrypted snapshots. For more information, see Query requests.
The PresignedUrl
should use the snapshot source endpoint, the CopySnapshot
action, and include the SourceRegion
, SourceSnapshotId
, and DestinationRegion
parameters. The PresignedUrl
must be signed using Amazon Web Services Signature Version 4. Because EBS snapshots are stored in Amazon S3, the signing algorithm for this parameter uses the same logic that is described in Authenticating Requests: Using Query Parameters (Amazon Web Services Signature Version 4) in the Amazon S3 API Reference. An invalid or improperly signed PresignedUrl
will cause the copy operation to fail asynchronously, and the snapshot will move to an error
state.
