Quick Start

Node.js

import { GlacierClient, CreateVaultCommand, UploadArchiveCommand } from '@aws-sdk/client-glacier';

const client = new GlacierClient({
  endpoint: 'http://localhost:4566',
  region: 'us-east-1',
  credentials: { accessKeyId: 'test', secretAccessKey: 'test' },
});

await client.send(new CreateVaultCommand({ vaultName: 'my-vault', accountId: '-' }));

const { archiveId } = await client.send(new UploadArchiveCommand({
  vaultName: 'my-vault',
  accountId: '-',
  body: Buffer.from('archive data'),
}));
console.log(archiveId);

Python

import boto3

client = boto3.client('glacier',
    endpoint_url='http://localhost:4566',
    region_name='us-east-1',
    aws_access_key_id='test',
    aws_secret_access_key='test')

client.create_vault(vaultName='my-vault', accountId='-')

response = client.upload_archive(
    vaultName='my-vault',
    accountId='-',
    body=b'archive data')
print(response['archiveId'])

Configuration

Known Differences from AWS

• Archives are stored in-memory, not in cold storage
• Retrieval jobs complete immediately rather than taking hours
• Vault lock policy enforcement is simplified
