location

[Custom snapshot policies only] Specifies the destination for snapshots created by the policy. The allowed destinations depend on the location of the targeted resources.

• If the policy targets resources in a Region, then you must create snapshots in the same Region as the source resource.

• If the policy targets resources in a Local Zone, you can create snapshots in the same Local Zone or in its parent Region.

• If the policy targets resources on an Outpost, then you can create snapshots on the same Outpost or in its parent Region.

Specify one of the following values:

• To create snapshots in the same Region as the source resource, specify CLOUD.

• To create snapshots in the same Local Zone as the source resource, specify LOCAL_ZONE.

• To create snapshots on the same Outpost as the source resource, specify OUTPOST_LOCAL.

Default: CLOUD
