Deploy the Guidance - Data Transfer from Amazon S3 Glacier Vaults to Amazon S3

Deploy the Guidance

This Guidance uses AWS CloudFormation templates and stacks to automate its deployment. The CloudFormation template specifies the AWS resources included in this Guidance and their properties. The CloudFormation stack provisions the resources that are described in the template.

Note

This Guidance doesn't delete the original archives or the source Amazon Glacier vault. You must manually delete the archives and vault. For more information, refer to Deleting an Archive in Amazon Glacier in the Amazon Glacier Developer Guide.

If your source Amazon Glacier vault has a Vault Lock policy that prevents deletion, you must delete this policy before deleting the original archives. However, if your Vault Lock policy is in the Locked state, you can't delete it. See Amazon Glacier Vault Lock and Abort Vault Lock (DELETE lock-policy) in the Amazon Glacier Developer Guide for more information.
