AWS snowball documentation change

Service: snowball · 2025-03-30 · Documentation low

File: snowball/latest/developer-guide/jobs.md

Summary

Updated service name references from 'AWS Snowball' to 'AWS Snowball Edge' throughout documentation, corrected a typo in KMS section ('Edge Edge' to 'Edge'), and updated console references to 'AWS Snowball Edge Console'

Security assessment

Changes primarily involve branding updates and typo corrections rather than addressing security vulnerabilities. While IAM roles and KMS encryption are security-related topics, the modifications only update service names in existing security documentation rather than introducing new security content or addressing vulnerabilities.

-A _job_ in AWS Snowball is a discrete unit of work, defined when you create it in the console or the job management API. With the AWS Snowball Edge device, there are three different job types, all of which are capable of local storage and compute functionality. This functionality uses the NFS interface or the Amazon S3 interface to read and write data. It triggers Lambda functions based on Amazon S3 PUT object API actions running locally on the AWS Snowball Edge device.
