AWS Snowball User Guide
Job Statuses
• Job type – The type of job, either import or export.
• Job ID – A unique 39-character label that identifies your job. The job ID appears at the bottom of the
shipping label that appears on the E Ink display, and in the name of a job's manifest file.
• Created date – The date that you created this job.
• Shipping speed – Speed options are based on region. For more information, see Shipping
Speeds (p. 76).
• IAM role ARN – This Amazon Resource Name (ARN) is the AWS Identity and Access Management
(IAM) role that is created during job creation with write permissions for your Amazon S3 buckets. The
creation process is automatic, and the IAM role that you allow Snowball to assume is only used to copy
your data between your Amazon S3 buckets and the Snowball. For more information, see Creating an
IAM Role for Snowball (p. 81).
• AWS KMS key – In Snowball, AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) encrypts the keys on each
Snowball. When you create your job, you also choose or create an ARN for an AWS KMS encryption key
that you own. For more information, see AWS Key Management Service in Snowball (p. 84).
• Snowball capacity – In the US regions, Snowballs come in two sizes: 50 TB and 80 TB. All other
regions have the 80 TB Snowballs only.
• Storage service – The AWS storage service associated with this job, in this case Amazon S3.
• Resources – The AWS storage service resources associated with your job. In this case, these are the
Amazon S3 buckets that your data is transferred to or from.
