  RetentionLockType, RetentionLockTimeInDays, Tags)

Arguments

PoolName

[required] The name of the new custom tape pool.

RetentionLockType

Tape retention lock can be configured in two modes. When configured in governance mode, Amazon Web Services accounts with specific IAM permissions are authorized to remove the tape retention lock from archived virtual tapes. When configured in compliance mode, the tape retention lock cannot be removed by any user, including the root Amazon Web Services account.
