VolumeAttachment
The VolumeAttachment resource lets you manage the attachment of Amazon EC2 volumes to instances. For more detailed information, you can refer to the AWS EC2 VolumeAttachments documentation.
Minimal Example
Section titled “Minimal Example”Create a basic volume attachment by specifying the required properties: VolumeId
and InstanceId
. Optionally, you can also specify the Device
to be used.
import AWS from "alchemy/aws/control";
const volumeAttachment = await AWS.EC2.VolumeAttachment("myVolumeAttachment", { VolumeId: "vol-0abcd1234efgh5678", // Replace with your actual volume ID InstanceId: "i-0abcd1234efgh5678", // Replace with your actual instance ID Device: "/dev/sdf" // Optional device name});
Advanced Configuration
Section titled “Advanced Configuration”In addition to the basic properties, you can enable the adoption of an existing resource by setting the adopt
property to true
. This is useful when you want to attach a volume that already exists.
const adoptedVolumeAttachment = await AWS.EC2.VolumeAttachment("adoptedVolumeAttachment", { VolumeId: "vol-0abcd1234efgh5678", InstanceId: "i-0abcd1234efgh5678", Device: "/dev/sdg", // Optional device name adopt: true // Enable adoption of existing resource});
Error Handling Example
Section titled “Error Handling Example”Handle potential errors by wrapping the resource creation in a try-catch block to manage exceptions gracefully.
try { const errorHandledVolumeAttachment = await AWS.EC2.VolumeAttachment("errorHandledVolumeAttachment", { VolumeId: "vol-0abcd1234efgh5678", InstanceId: "i-0abcd1234efgh5678", Device: "/dev/sdh" });} catch (error) { console.error("Failed to attach volume:", error);}
Multiple Attachments Example
Section titled “Multiple Attachments Example”You can create multiple volume attachments for different instances by repeating the resource creation process with different parameters.
const volumeAttachment1 = await AWS.EC2.VolumeAttachment("volumeAttachment1", { VolumeId: "vol-0abcd1234efgh5678", InstanceId: "i-0abcd1234efgh5678", Device: "/dev/sdi"});
const volumeAttachment2 = await AWS.EC2.VolumeAttachment("volumeAttachment2", { VolumeId: "vol-0abcd1234efgh5678", InstanceId: "i-1abcd2345efgh6789", Device: "/dev/sdj"});
