AWS glacier delete job

I have started a retrival job for an archive stored in one of my vaults on Glacier AWS.

It turns out that I do not need to resurrect and download that archive any more. Is there a way to stop and/or delete my Glacier job?

I am using boto and I cannot seem to find a suitable function.

Thanks

How do you delete an object from a Glacier?

You cannot delete an archive using the Amazon S3 Glacier (S3 Glacier) management console. To delete an archive you must use the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) or write code to make a delete request using either the REST API directly or the AWS SDK for Java and . NET wrapper libraries.

Why does AWS Glacier take so long?

The reason for the lengthy time is that Amazon prices Glacier lower than other storage options, which are intended for more frequent data access. However, Glacier does have different types of data retrieval available.

How long does Amazon Glacier take to retrieve data?

Standard – Standard retrievals allow you to access any of your archives within several hours. Standard retrievals are typically completed within 3–5 hours.

The AWS Glacier service does not provide a way to delete a job. You can:

  • Initiate a job
  • Describe a job
  • Get the output of a job
  • List all of your jobs

The Glacier service manages the jobs associated with an vault.
