Managing Snapshots Using AWS SDK for Java
The following example demonstrates these common operations involving a snapshot:
• Creating a manual cluster snapshot of a cluster
• Displaying information about all the snapshots of a cluster
• Deleting manual snapshots of a cluster
In this example, a snapshot of the cluster is initiated. When the snapshot is successfully created, all
manual snapshots for the cluster that were created before the new snapshot are deleted. When creation
of the manual snapshot is initiated it is not immediately available, so this example uses a loop to poll for
the status of the snapshot by calling the
describeClusterSnapshot
method. It normally takes a few
moments for a snapshot to become available after initiation. For more information about snapshots, see
Amazon Redshift Snapshots (p. 52)
.
For step-by-step instructions to run the following example, see
Running Java Examples for Amazon
Redshift Using Eclipse (p. 118)
. You need to update the code and provide a cluster identifier.
