Release: AWS SDK for .NET 1.5.8

Amazon Glacier Range Retrievals

Amazon Glacier now supports retrieval of specific ranges of your archives. Developers can initiate a job requesting Amazon Glacier to prepare an entire archive or a portion of the archive for subsequent download. When an archive is very large, it can be more cost effective to initiate several sequential jobs to prepare your archive.

For more information, see Downloading an Archive in Amazon Glacier in the Amazon Glacier Developer Guide.

Amazon S3 Support for Archiving Data to Amazon Glacier

Amazon S3 now provides a storage option that enables developers to utilize Amazon Glacier's low-cost storage service for data archival. To archive objects, developers can define archival rules identifying objects and a timeline for archiving these objects to Amazon Glacier.

This example shows how to add a lifecycle rule to an Amazon S3 bucket.

var lifecycleConfig = new LifecycleConfiguration();
lifecycleConfig.Rules.Add(new LifecycleRule 
{
    Prefix = "myArchiveRule-",
    Expiration = new LifecycleRuleExpiration { Days = 2 },
    Transition = new LifecycleTransition {
        Days = 1,
        StorageClass = S3StorageClass.Glacier
    }             
});

var request = new PutLifecycleConfigurationRequest
{
    BucketName = bucketName,
    Configuration = configuration
};

s3Client.PutLifecycleConfiguration(request);
				

Amazon EC2 Spot Instance request status allows developers to determine the state of Amazon EC2 Spot requests. A Spot Instance request status consists of status code, status message and update time.
