Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

2023/03/03 - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - 6 updated api methods

Changes  This release adds support for a new boot mode for EC2 instances called 'UEFI Preferred'.

DescribeImages (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'Images': {'BootMode': {'uefi-preferred'}}}

Describes the specified images (AMIs, AKIs, and ARIs) available to you or all of the images available to you.

The images available to you include public images, private images that you own, and private images owned by other Amazon Web Services accounts for which you have explicit launch permissions.

Recently deregistered images appear in the returned results for a short interval and then return empty results. After all instances that reference a deregistered AMI are terminated, specifying the ID of the image will eventually return an error indicating that the AMI ID cannot be found.

        • PlatformDetails (string) --

          The platform details associated with the billing code of the AMI. For more information, see Understand AMI billing information in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

        • UsageOperation (string) --

          The operation of the Amazon EC2 instance and the billing code that is associated with the AMI. usageOperation corresponds to the lineitem/Operation column on your Amazon Web Services Cost and Usage Report and in the Amazon Web Services Price List API. You can view these fields on the Instances or AMIs pages in the Amazon EC2 console, or in the responses that are returned by the DescribeImages command in the Amazon EC2 API, or the describe-images command in the CLI.

        • ProductCodes (list) --

          Any product codes associated with the AMI.

          • (dict) --

          Any block device mapping entries.

          • (dict) --

            Describes a block device mapping, which defines the EBS volumes and instance store volumes to attach to an instance at launch.

            • DeviceName (string) --

              The device name (for example, /dev/sdh or xvdh ).

            • VirtualName (string) --

              The virtual device name ( ephemeral N). Instance store volumes are numbered starting from 0. An instance type with 2 available instance store volumes can specify mappings for ephemeral0 and ephemeral1 . The number of available instance store volumes depends on the instance type. After you connect to the instance, you must mount the volume.

              NVMe instance store volumes are automatically enumerated and assigned a device name. Including them in your block device mapping has no effect.

              Constraints: For M3 instances, you must specify instance store volumes in the block device mapping for the instance. When you launch an M3 instance, we ignore any instance store volumes specified in the block device mapping for the AMI.

            • Ebs (dict) --

              Parameters used to automatically set up EBS volumes when the instance is launched.

              • DeleteOnTermination (boolean) --

                Indicates whether the EBS volume is deleted on instance termination. For more information, see Preserving Amazon EBS volumes on instance termination in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

              • Iops (integer) --

                The number of I/O operations per second (IOPS). For gp3 , io1 , and io2 volumes, this represents the number of IOPS that are provisioned for the volume. For gp2 volumes, this represents the baseline performance of the volume and the rate at which the volume accumulates I/O credits for bursting.

                The following are the supported values for each volume type:

                • gp3 : 3,000-16,000 IOPS

                • io1 : 100-64,000 IOPS

                • io2 : 100-64,000 IOPS

                For io1 and io2 volumes, we guarantee 64,000 IOPS only for Instances built on the Nitro System. Other instance families guarantee performance up to 32,000 IOPS.

                This parameter is required for io1 and io2 volumes. The default for gp3 volumes is 3,000 IOPS. This parameter is not supported for gp2 , st1 , sc1 , or standard volumes.

              • SnapshotId (string) --

                The ID of the snapshot.

              • VolumeSize (integer) --

                The size of the volume, in GiBs. You must specify either a snapshot ID or a volume size. If you specify a snapshot, the default is the snapshot size. You can specify a volume size that is equal to or larger than the snapshot size.

                The following are the supported volumes sizes for each volume type:

                • gp2 and gp3 :1-16,384

                • io1 and io2 : 4-16,384

                • st1 and sc1 : 125-16,384

                • standard : 1-1,024

              • VolumeType (string) --

                The volume type. For more information, see Amazon EBS volume types in the Amazon EC2 User Guide . If the volume type is io1 or io2 , you must specify the IOPS that the volume supports.

              • KmsKeyId (string) --

                Identifier (key ID, key alias, ID ARN, or alias ARN) for a customer managed CMK under which the EBS volume is encrypted.

                This parameter is only supported on BlockDeviceMapping objects called by RunInstances, RequestSpotFleet, and RequestSpotInstances.

              • Throughput (integer) --

                The throughput that the volume supports, in MiB/s.

                This parameter is valid only for gp3 volumes.

                Valid Range: Minimum value of 125. Maximum value of 1000.

              • OutpostArn (string) --

                The ARN of the Outpost on which the snapshot is stored.

                This parameter is only supported on BlockDeviceMapping objects called by CreateImage.

              • Encrypted (boolean) --

                Indicates whether the encryption state of an EBS volume is changed while being restored from a backing snapshot. The effect of setting the encryption state to true depends on the volume origin (new or from a snapshot), starting encryption state, ownership, and whether encryption by default is enabled. For more information, see Amazon EBS encryption in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

                In no case can you remove encryption from an encrypted volume.

                Encrypted volumes can only be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption. For more information, see Supported instance types.

                This parameter is not returned by DescribeImageAttribute.

                For CreateImage and RegisterImage, whether you can include this parameter, and the allowed values differ depending on the type of block device mapping you are creating.

                • If you are creating a block device mapping for a new (empty) volume , you can include this parameter, and specify either true for an encrypted volume, or false for an unencrypted volume. If you omit this parameter, it defaults to false (unencrypted).

                • If you are creating a block device mapping from an existing encrypted or unencrypted snapshot , you must omit this parameter. If you include this parameter, the request will fail, regardless of the value that you specify.

                • If you are creating a block device mapping from an existing unencrypted volume , you can include this parameter, but you must specify false . If you specify true , the request will fail. In this case, we recommend that you omit the parameter.

                • If you are creating a block device mapping from an existing encrypted volume , you can include this parameter, and specify either true or false . However, if you specify false , the parameter is ignored and the block device mapping is always encrypted. In this case, we recommend that you omit the parameter.

            • NoDevice (string) --

              To omit the device from the block device mapping, specify an empty string. When this property is specified, the device is removed from the block device mapping regardless of the assigned value.

        • Description (string) --

          The description of the AMI that was provided during image creation.

        • EnaSupport (boolean) --

Describes the specified instances or all instances.

If you specify instance IDs, the output includes information for only the specified instances. If you specify filters, the output includes information for only those instances that meet the filter criteria. If you do not specify instance IDs or filters, the output includes information for all instances, which can affect performance. We recommend that you use pagination to ensure that the operation returns quickly and successfully.

If you specify an instance ID that is not valid, an error is returned. If you specify an instance that you do not own, it is not included in the output.

Recently terminated instances might appear in the returned results. This interval is usually less than one hour.

If you describe instances in the rare case where an Availability Zone is experiencing a service disruption and you specify instance IDs that are in the affected zone, or do not specify any instance IDs at all, the call fails. If you describe instances and specify only instance IDs that are in an unaffected zone, the call works normally.

        The file name of the disk image.

type DryRun

boolean

param DryRun

Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation . Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation .

type Encrypted

boolean

param Encrypted

Specifies whether the destination AMI of the imported image should be encrypted. The default KMS key for EBS is used unless you specify a non-default KMS key using KmsKeyId . For more information, see Amazon EBS Encryption in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

type Hypervisor

string

param Hypervisor

The target hypervisor platform.

Valid values: xen

type KmsKeyId

string

param KmsKeyId

An identifier for the symmetric KMS key to use when creating the encrypted AMI. This parameter is only required if you want to use a non-default KMS key; if this parameter is not specified, the default KMS key for EBS is used. If a KmsKeyId is specified, the Encrypted flag must also be set.

The KMS key identifier may be provided in any of the following formats:

  • Key ID

  • Key alias. The alias ARN contains the arn:aws:kms namespace, followed by the Region of the key, the Amazon Web Services account ID of the key owner, the alias namespace, and then the key alias. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1 :012345678910 :alias/ExampleAlias .

  • ARN using key ID. The ID ARN contains the arn:aws:kms namespace, followed by the Region of the key, the Amazon Web Services account ID of the key owner, the key namespace, and then the key ID. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1 :012345678910 :key/abcd1234-a123-456a-a12b-a123b4cd56ef .

  • ARN using key alias. The alias ARN contains the arn:aws:kms namespace, followed by the Region of the key, the Amazon Web Services account ID of the key owner, the alias namespace, and then the key alias. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1 :012345678910 :alias/ExampleAlias .

Amazon Web Services parses KmsKeyId asynchronously, meaning that the action you call may appear to complete even though you provided an invalid identifier. This action will eventually report failure.

The specified KMS key must exist in the Region that the AMI is being copied to.

Amazon EBS does not support asymmetric KMS keys.

type LicenseType

string

param LicenseType

The license type to be used for the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) after importing.

Specify AWS to replace the source-system license with an Amazon Web Services license or BYOL to retain the source-system license. Leaving this parameter undefined is the same as choosing AWS when importing a Windows Server operating system, and the same as choosing BYOL when importing a Windows client operating system (such as Windows 10) or a Linux operating system.

To use BYOL , you must have existing licenses with rights to use these licenses in a third party cloud, such as Amazon Web Services. For more information, see Prerequisites in the VM Import/Export User Guide.

    Note

    The Valid Values lists all the resource types that can be tagged. However, the action you're using might not support tagging all of these resource types. If you try to tag a resource type that is unsupported for the action you're using, you'll get an error.

    • ResourceType (string) --

      The type of resource to tag on creation.

    • Tags (list) --

      The tags to apply to the resource.

      • (dict) --

RegisterImage (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'BootMode': {'uefi-preferred'}}

Registers an AMI. When you're creating an AMI, this is the final step you must complete before you can launch an instance from the AMI. For more information about creating AMIs, see Create your own AMI in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

Note

For Amazon EBS-backed instances, CreateImage creates and registers the AMI in a single request, so you don't have to register the AMI yourself. We recommend that you always use CreateImage unless you have a specific reason to use RegisterImage.

If needed, you can deregister an AMI at any time. Any modifications you make to an AMI backed by an instance store volume invalidates its registration. If you make changes to an image, deregister the previous image and register the new image.

Register a snapshot of a root device volume

You can use RegisterImage to create an Amazon EBS-backed Linux AMI from a snapshot of a root device volume. You specify the snapshot using a block device mapping. You can't set the encryption state of the volume using the block device mapping. If the snapshot is encrypted, or encryption by default is enabled, the root volume of an instance launched from the AMI is encrypted.

For more information, see Create a Linux AMI from a snapshot and Use encryption with Amazon EBS-backed AMIs in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

Amazon Web Services Marketplace product codes

If any snapshots have Amazon Web Services Marketplace product codes, they are copied to the new AMI.

Windows and some Linux distributions, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), use the Amazon EC2 billing product code associated with an AMI to verify the subscription status for package updates. To create a new AMI for operating systems that require a billing product code, instead of registering the AMI, do the following to preserve the billing product code association:

  • Launch an instance from an existing AMI with that billing product code.

  • Customize the instance.

  • Create an AMI from the instance using CreateImage.

If you purchase a Reserved Instance to apply to an On-Demand Instance that was launched from an AMI with a billing product code, make sure that the Reserved Instance has the matching billing product code. If you purchase a Reserved Instance without the matching billing product code, the Reserved Instance will not be applied to the On-Demand Instance. For information about how to obtain the platform details and billing information of an AMI, see Understand AMI billing information in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

type ImageLocation

string

param ImageLocation

The full path to your AMI manifest in Amazon S3 storage. The specified bucket must have the aws-exec-read canned access control list (ACL) to ensure that it can be accessed by Amazon EC2. For more information, see Canned ACLs in the Amazon S3 Service Developer Guide .

type Architecture

string

param Architecture

The architecture of the AMI.

Default: For Amazon EBS-backed AMIs, i386 . For instance store-backed AMIs, the architecture specified in the manifest file.

type BlockDeviceMappings

list

param BlockDeviceMappings

The block device mapping entries.

If you specify an Amazon EBS volume using the ID of an Amazon EBS snapshot, you can't specify the encryption state of the volume.

If you create an AMI on an Outpost, then all backing snapshots must be on the same Outpost or in the Region of that Outpost. AMIs on an Outpost that include local snapshots can be used to launch instances on the same Outpost only. For more information, Amazon EBS local snapshots on Outposts in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

  • (dict) --

    Describes a block device mapping, which defines the EBS volumes and instance store volumes to attach to an instance at launch.

    • DeviceName (string) --

      The device name (for example, /dev/sdh or xvdh ).

    • VirtualName (string) --

      The virtual device name ( ephemeral N). Instance store volumes are numbered starting from 0. An instance type with 2 available instance store volumes can specify mappings for ephemeral0 and ephemeral1 . The number of available instance store volumes depends on the instance type. After you connect to the instance, you must mount the volume.

      NVMe instance store volumes are automatically enumerated and assigned a device name. Including them in your block device mapping has no effect.

      Constraints: For M3 instances, you must specify instance store volumes in the block device mapping for the instance. When you launch an M3 instance, we ignore any instance store volumes specified in the block device mapping for the AMI.

    • Ebs (dict) --

      Parameters used to automatically set up EBS volumes when the instance is launched.

      • DeleteOnTermination (boolean) --

        Indicates whether the EBS volume is deleted on instance termination. For more information, see Preserving Amazon EBS volumes on instance termination in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

      • Iops (integer) --

        The number of I/O operations per second (IOPS). For gp3 , io1 , and io2 volumes, this represents the number of IOPS that are provisioned for the volume. For gp2 volumes, this represents the baseline performance of the volume and the rate at which the volume accumulates I/O credits for bursting.

        The following are the supported values for each volume type:

        • gp3 : 3,000-16,000 IOPS

        • io1 : 100-64,000 IOPS

        • io2 : 100-64,000 IOPS

        For io1 and io2 volumes, we guarantee 64,000 IOPS only for Instances built on the Nitro System. Other instance families guarantee performance up to 32,000 IOPS.

        This parameter is required for io1 and io2 volumes. The default for gp3 volumes is 3,000 IOPS. This parameter is not supported for gp2 , st1 , sc1 , or standard volumes.

      • SnapshotId (string) --

        The ID of the snapshot.

      • VolumeSize (integer) --

        The size of the volume, in GiBs. You must specify either a snapshot ID or a volume size. If you specify a snapshot, the default is the snapshot size. You can specify a volume size that is equal to or larger than the snapshot size.

        The following are the supported volumes sizes for each volume type:

        • gp2 and gp3 :1-16,384

        • io1 and io2 : 4-16,384

        • st1 and sc1 : 125-16,384

        • standard : 1-1,024

      • VolumeType (string) --

        The volume type. For more information, see Amazon EBS volume types in the Amazon EC2 User Guide . If the volume type is io1 or io2 , you must specify the IOPS that the volume supports.

      • KmsKeyId (string) --

        Identifier (key ID, key alias, ID ARN, or alias ARN) for a customer managed CMK under which the EBS volume is encrypted.

        This parameter is only supported on BlockDeviceMapping objects called by RunInstances, RequestSpotFleet, and RequestSpotInstances.

      • Throughput (integer) --

        The throughput that the volume supports, in MiB/s.

        This parameter is valid only for gp3 volumes.

        Valid Range: Minimum value of 125. Maximum value of 1000.

      • OutpostArn (string) --

        The ARN of the Outpost on which the snapshot is stored.

        This parameter is only supported on BlockDeviceMapping objects called by CreateImage.

      • Encrypted (boolean) --

        Indicates whether the encryption state of an EBS volume is changed while being restored from a backing snapshot. The effect of setting the encryption state to true depends on the volume origin (new or from a snapshot), starting encryption state, ownership, and whether encryption by default is enabled. For more information, see Amazon EBS encryption in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

        In no case can you remove encryption from an encrypted volume.

        Encrypted volumes can only be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption. For more information, see Supported instance types.

        This parameter is not returned by DescribeImageAttribute.

        For CreateImage and RegisterImage, whether you can include this parameter, and the allowed values differ depending on the type of block device mapping you are creating.

        • If you are creating a block device mapping for a new (empty) volume , you can include this parameter, and specify either true for an encrypted volume, or false for an unencrypted volume. If you omit this parameter, it defaults to false (unencrypted).

        • If you are creating a block device mapping from an existing encrypted or unencrypted snapshot , you must omit this parameter. If you include this parameter, the request will fail, regardless of the value that you specify.

        • If you are creating a block device mapping from an existing unencrypted volume , you can include this parameter, but you must specify false . If you specify true , the request will fail. In this case, we recommend that you omit the parameter.

        • If you are creating a block device mapping from an existing encrypted volume , you can include this parameter, and specify either true or false . However, if you specify false , the parameter is ignored and the block device mapping is always encrypted. In this case, we recommend that you omit the parameter.

    • NoDevice (string) --

      To omit the device from the block device mapping, specify an empty string. When this property is specified, the device is removed from the block device mapping regardless of the assigned value.

Base64 representation of the non-volatile UEFI variable store. To retrieve the UEFI data, use the GetInstanceUefiData command. You can inspect and modify the UEFI data by using the python-uefivars tool on GitHub. For more information, see UEFI Secure Boot in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

type ImdsSupport

string

param ImdsSupport

Set to v2.0 to indicate that IMDSv2 is specified in the AMI. Instances launched from this AMI will have HttpTokens automatically set to required so that, by default, the instance requires that IMDSv2 is used when requesting instance metadata. In addition, HttpPutResponseHopLimit is set to 2 . For more information, see Configure the AMI in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

Note

If you set the value to v2.0 , make sure that your AMI software can support IMDSv2.

Launches the specified number of instances using an AMI for which you have permissions.

You can specify a number of options, or leave the default options. The following rules apply:

  • [EC2-VPC] If you don't specify a subnet ID, we choose a default subnet from your default VPC for you. If you don't have a default VPC, you must specify a subnet ID in the request.

  • [EC2-Classic] If don't specify an Availability Zone, we choose one for you.

  • Some instance types must be launched into a VPC. If you do not have a default VPC, or if you do not specify a subnet ID, the request fails. For more information, see Instance types available only in a VPC.

  • [EC2-VPC] All instances have a network interface with a primary private IPv4 address. If you don't specify this address, we choose one from the IPv4 range of your subnet.

  • Not all instance types support IPv6 addresses. For more information, see Instance types.

  • If you don't specify a security group ID, we use the default security group. For more information, see Security groups.

  • If any of the AMIs have a product code attached for which the user has not subscribed, the request fails.

You can create a launch template, which is a resource that contains the parameters to launch an instance. When you launch an instance using RunInstances, you can specify the launch template instead of specifying the launch parameters.

To ensure faster instance launches, break up large requests into smaller batches. For example, create five separate launch requests for 100 instances each instead of one launch request for 500 instances.

An instance is ready for you to use when it's in the running state. You can check the state of your instance using DescribeInstances. You can tag instances and EBS volumes during launch, after launch, or both. For more information, see CreateTags and Tagging your Amazon EC2 resources.

Linux instances have access to the public key of the key pair at boot. You can use this key to provide secure access to the instance. Amazon EC2 public images use this feature to provide secure access without passwords. For more information, see Key pairs.

For troubleshooting, see What to do if an instance immediately terminates, and Troubleshooting connecting to your instance.

Note

We are retiring EC2-Classic. We recommend that you migrate from EC2-Classic to a VPC. For more information, see Migrate from EC2-Classic to a VPC in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

type BlockDeviceMappings

list

param BlockDeviceMappings

The block device mapping, which defines the EBS volumes and instance store volumes to attach to the instance at launch. For more information, see Block device mappings in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

  • (dict) --

    Describes a block device mapping, which defines the EBS volumes and instance store volumes to attach to an instance at launch.

    • DeviceName (string) --

      The device name (for example, /dev/sdh or xvdh ).

    • VirtualName (string) --

      The virtual device name ( ephemeral N). Instance store volumes are numbered starting from 0. An instance type with 2 available instance store volumes can specify mappings for ephemeral0 and ephemeral1 . The number of available instance store volumes depends on the instance type. After you connect to the instance, you must mount the volume.

      NVMe instance store volumes are automatically enumerated and assigned a device name. Including them in your block device mapping has no effect.

      Constraints: For M3 instances, you must specify instance store volumes in the block device mapping for the instance. When you launch an M3 instance, we ignore any instance store volumes specified in the block device mapping for the AMI.

    • Ebs (dict) --

      Parameters used to automatically set up EBS volumes when the instance is launched.

      • DeleteOnTermination (boolean) --

        Indicates whether the EBS volume is deleted on instance termination. For more information, see Preserving Amazon EBS volumes on instance termination in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

      • Iops (integer) --

        The number of I/O operations per second (IOPS). For gp3 , io1 , and io2 volumes, this represents the number of IOPS that are provisioned for the volume. For gp2 volumes, this represents the baseline performance of the volume and the rate at which the volume accumulates I/O credits for bursting.

        The following are the supported values for each volume type:

        • gp3 : 3,000-16,000 IOPS

        • io1 : 100-64,000 IOPS

        • io2 : 100-64,000 IOPS

        For io1 and io2 volumes, we guarantee 64,000 IOPS only for Instances built on the Nitro System. Other instance families guarantee performance up to 32,000 IOPS.

        This parameter is required for io1 and io2 volumes. The default for gp3 volumes is 3,000 IOPS. This parameter is not supported for gp2 , st1 , sc1 , or standard volumes.

      • SnapshotId (string) --

        The ID of the snapshot.

      • VolumeSize (integer) --

        The size of the volume, in GiBs. You must specify either a snapshot ID or a volume size. If you specify a snapshot, the default is the snapshot size. You can specify a volume size that is equal to or larger than the snapshot size.

        The following are the supported volumes sizes for each volume type:

        • gp2 and gp3 :1-16,384

        • io1 and io2 : 4-16,384

        • st1 and sc1 : 125-16,384

        • standard : 1-1,024

      • VolumeType (string) --

        The volume type. For more information, see Amazon EBS volume types in the Amazon EC2 User Guide . If the volume type is io1 or io2 , you must specify the IOPS that the volume supports.

      • KmsKeyId (string) --

        Identifier (key ID, key alias, ID ARN, or alias ARN) for a customer managed CMK under which the EBS volume is encrypted.

        This parameter is only supported on BlockDeviceMapping objects called by RunInstances, RequestSpotFleet, and RequestSpotInstances.

      • Throughput (integer) --

        The throughput that the volume supports, in MiB/s.

        This parameter is valid only for gp3 volumes.

        Valid Range: Minimum value of 125. Maximum value of 1000.

      • OutpostArn (string) --

        The ARN of the Outpost on which the snapshot is stored.

        This parameter is only supported on BlockDeviceMapping objects called by CreateImage.

      • Encrypted (boolean) --

        Indicates whether the encryption state of an EBS volume is changed while being restored from a backing snapshot. The effect of setting the encryption state to true depends on the volume origin (new or from a snapshot), starting encryption state, ownership, and whether encryption by default is enabled. For more information, see Amazon EBS encryption in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

        In no case can you remove encryption from an encrypted volume.

        Encrypted volumes can only be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption. For more information, see Supported instance types.

        This parameter is not returned by DescribeImageAttribute.

        For CreateImage and RegisterImage, whether you can include this parameter, and the allowed values differ depending on the type of block device mapping you are creating.

        • If you are creating a block device mapping for a new (empty) volume , you can include this parameter, and specify either true for an encrypted volume, or false for an unencrypted volume. If you omit this parameter, it defaults to false (unencrypted).

        • If you are creating a block device mapping from an existing encrypted or unencrypted snapshot , you must omit this parameter. If you include this parameter, the request will fail, regardless of the value that you specify.

        • If you are creating a block device mapping from an existing unencrypted volume , you can include this parameter, but you must specify false . If you specify true , the request will fail. In this case, we recommend that you omit the parameter.

        • If you are creating a block device mapping from an existing encrypted volume , you can include this parameter, and specify either true or false . However, if you specify false , the parameter is ignored and the block device mapping is always encrypted. In this case, we recommend that you omit the parameter.

    • NoDevice (string) --

      To omit the device from the block device mapping, specify an empty string. When this property is specified, the device is removed from the block device mapping regardless of the assigned value.

  • CapacityReservationPreference (string) --

    Indicates the instance's Capacity Reservation preferences. Possible preferences include:

    • open - The instance can run in any open Capacity Reservation that has matching attributes (instance type, platform, Availability Zone).

    • none - The instance avoids running in a Capacity Reservation even if one is available. The instance runs as an On-Demand Instance.

  • CapacityReservationTarget (dict) --

    Information about the target Capacity Reservation or Capacity Reservation group.

    • CapacityReservationId (string) --

      The ID of the Capacity Reservation in which to run the instance.

    • CapacityReservationResourceGroupArn (string) --

      The ARN of the Capacity Reservation resource group in which to run the instance.

type HibernationOptions

dict

param HibernationOptions

type MetadataOptions

dict

param MetadataOptions

The metadata options for the instance. For more information, see Instance metadata and user data.

  • HttpTokens (string) --

    IMDSv2 uses token-backed sessions. Set the use of HTTP tokens to optional (in other words, set the use of IMDSv2 to optional ) or required (in other words, set the use of IMDSv2 to required ).

    • optional - When IMDSv2 is optional, you can choose to retrieve instance metadata with or without a session token in your request. If you retrieve the IAM role credentials without a token, the IMDSv1 role credentials are returned. If you retrieve the IAM role credentials using a valid session token, the IMDSv2 role credentials are returned.

    • required - When IMDSv2 is required, you must send a session token with any instance metadata retrieval requests. In this state, retrieving the IAM role credentials always returns IMDSv2 credentials; IMDSv1 credentials are not available.

    Default: optional

  • HttpPutResponseHopLimit (integer) --

    The desired HTTP PUT response hop limit for instance metadata requests. The larger the number, the further instance metadata requests can travel.

    Default: 1

    Possible values: Integers from 1 to 64

  • HttpEndpoint (string) --
