NAME

VM::EC2::BlockDevice::Attachment - Object describing the attachment of an EBS volume to an instance

SYNOPSIS

  use VM::EC2;

  $ec2         = VM::EC2->new(...);
  $volume      = $ec2->describe_volumes(-volume_id=>'vol-12345');
  $attachment  = $ec2->attachment;

  $volId       = $attachment->volumeId;
  $instanceId  = $attachment->instanceId;
  $status      = $attachment->status;
  $time        = $attachment->attachTime;
  $delete      = $attachment->deleteOnTermination;

DESCRIPTION

This object is used to describe the attachment of an Amazon EBS volume to an instance. It is returned by VM::EC2::Volume->attachment().

METHODS

The following object methods are supported:

 volumeId         -- ID of the volume.
 instanceId       -- ID of the instance
 status           -- Attachment state, one of "attaching", "attached",
                     "detaching", "detached".
 attachTime       -- Timestamp for when volume was attached
 deleteOnTermination -- True if the EBS volume will be deleted when its
                     attached instance terminates. Note that this is a
                     Perl true, and not the string "true".

In addition, this class provides several convenience functions:

$instance = $attachment->instance

Returns the VM::EC2::Instance corresponding to this attachment.

$volume = $attachment->volume

Returns the VM::EC2::Volume object corresponding to this attachment.

$status = $attachment->current_status

Refreshes the information in the object and returns status().

$attachment->refresh

Calls AWS to refresh the attachment information.

STRING OVERLOADING

When used in a string context, this object will interpolate into a string of the format "volumeId=>instanceId".
