aws_dc adapter¶

AWS uses a set of specific states for describing the hosted connection.

The states used by AWS:¶

ordering: The initial state of a hosted connection provisioned on an interconnect. The connection stays in the ordering state until the owner of the hosted connection confirms or declines the connection order.
requested: The initial state of a standard connection. The connection stays in the requested state until the Letter of Authorization (LOA) is sent to the customer. (not applicable for cloudconnect)
pending: The connection has been approved and is being initialized.
available: The network link is up and the connection is ready for use.
down: The network link is down.
deleting: The connection is being deleted.
deleted: The connection has been deleted.
rejected: A hosted connection in the ordering state enters the rejected state if it is deleted by the customer.
unknown: The state of the connection is not available.

The behaviour of the handler in certain states:¶

state	create	read	update	delete
ordering	InvalidConnectionState	read connection state	SkipResource	delete connection
pending	InvalidConnectionState	read connection state	SkipResource	delete connection
available	InvalidConnectionState	read connection state	SkipResource	delete connection
down	InvalidConnectionState	SkipResource	InvalidConnectionState	InvalidConnectionState
deleting	SkipResource	read connection state	SkipResource	do nothing
deleted	create connection	ResourcePurged	SkipResource	do nothing
rejected	InvalidConnectionState	read connection state	InvalidConnectionState	delete connection
unknown	InvalidConnectionState	SkipResource	InvalidConnectionState	InvalidConnectionState
