Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

2018/11/29 - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - 7 updated api methods

Changes  Adds the following updates: 1. You can now hibernate and resume Amazon-EBS backed instances using the StopInstances and StartInstances APIs. For more information about using this feature and supported instance types and operating systems, visit the user guide. 2. Amazon Elastic Inference accelerators are resources that you can attach to current generation EC2 instances to accelerate your deep learning inference workloads. With Amazon Elastic Inference, you can configure the right amount of inference acceleration to your deep learning application without being constrained by fixed hardware configurations and limited GPU selection. 3. AWS License Manager makes it easier to manage licenses in AWS and on premises when customers run applications using existing licenses from a variety of software vendors including Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, and IBM.

dict

param LaunchTemplateData

[REQUIRED]

The information for the launch template.

  • KernelId (string) --

    The ID of the kernel.

    Warning

    We recommend that you use PV-GRUB instead of kernels and RAM disks. For more information, see User Provided Kernels in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

  • EbsOptimized (boolean) --

    Indicates whether the instance is optimized for Amazon EBS I/O. This optimization provides dedicated throughput to Amazon EBS and an optimized configuration stack to provide optimal Amazon EBS I/O performance. This optimization isn't available with all instance types. Additional usage charges apply when using an EBS-optimized instance.

  • IamInstanceProfile (dict) --

    The IAM instance profile.

    • Arn (string) --

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the instance profile.

    • Name (string) --

      The name of the instance profile.

  • BlockDeviceMappings (list) --

    The block device mapping.

    Warning

    Supplying both a snapshot ID and an encryption value as arguments for block-device mapping results in an error. This is because only blank volumes can be encrypted on start, and these are not created from a snapshot. If a snapshot is the basis for the volume, it contains data by definition and its encryption status cannot be changed using this action.

    • (dict) --

      Describes a block device mapping.

      • DeviceName (string) --

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

        The virtual device name (ephemeralN). 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.

      • Ebs (dict) --

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

        • Encrypted (boolean) --

          Indicates whether the EBS volume is encrypted. Encrypted volumes can only be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption. If you are creating a volume from a snapshot, you can't specify an encryption value.

        • DeleteOnTermination (boolean) --

          Indicates whether the EBS volume is deleted on instance termination.

        • Iops (integer) --

          The number of I/O operations per second (IOPS) that the volume supports. For io1, this represents the number of IOPS that are provisioned for the volume. For gp2, this represents the baseline performance of the volume and the rate at which the volume accumulates I/O credits for bursting. For more information about General Purpose SSD baseline performance, I/O credits, and bursting, see Amazon EBS Volume Types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

          Condition: This parameter is required for requests to create io1 volumes; it is not used in requests to create gp2, st1, sc1, or standard volumes.

[REQUIRED]

The information for the launch template.

  • KernelId (string) --

    The ID of the kernel.

    Warning

    We recommend that you use PV-GRUB instead of kernels and RAM disks. For more information, see User Provided Kernels in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

  • EbsOptimized (boolean) --

    Indicates whether the instance is optimized for Amazon EBS I/O. This optimization provides dedicated throughput to Amazon EBS and an optimized configuration stack to provide optimal Amazon EBS I/O performance. This optimization isn't available with all instance types. Additional usage charges apply when using an EBS-optimized instance.

    The IAM instance profile.

    • Arn (string) --

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the instance profile.

    • Name (string) --

      The name of the instance profile.

  • BlockDeviceMappings (list) --

    The block device mapping.

    Warning

    Supplying both a snapshot ID and an encryption value as arguments for block-device mapping results in an error. This is because only blank volumes can be encrypted on start, and these are not created from a snapshot. If a snapshot is the basis for the volume, it contains data by definition and its encryption status cannot be changed using this action.

    • (dict) --

      Describes a block device mapping.

      • DeviceName (string) --

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

        The virtual device name (ephemeralN). 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.

      • Ebs (dict) --

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

        • Encrypted (boolean) --

          Indicates whether the EBS volume is encrypted. Encrypted volumes can only be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption. If you are creating a volume from a snapshot, you can't specify an encryption value.

        • DeleteOnTermination (boolean) --

          Indicates whether the EBS volume is deleted on instance termination.

        • Iops (integer) --

          The number of I/O operations per second (IOPS) that the volume supports. For io1, this represents the number of IOPS that are provisioned for the volume. For gp2, this represents the baseline performance of the volume and the rate at which the volume accumulates I/O credits for bursting. For more information about General Purpose SSD baseline performance, I/O credits, and bursting, see Amazon EBS Volume Types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

          Condition: This parameter is required for requests to create io1 volumes; it is not used in requests to create gp2, st1, sc1, or standard volumes.

        • KmsKeyId (string) --

          The ARN of the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) CMK used for encryption.

        • SnapshotId (string) --

          The ID of the snapshot.

        • VolumeSize (integer) --

          The size of the volume, in GiB.

          Default: If you're creating the volume from a snapshot and don't specify a volume size, the default is the snapshot size.

        • VolumeType (string) --

          The volume type.

      • NoDevice (string) --

        Suppresses the specified device included in the block device mapping of the AMI.

  • NetworkInterfaces (list) --

    One or more network interfaces.

    • (dict) --

      The parameters for a network interface.

      • AssociatePublicIpAddress (boolean) --

        Associates a public IPv4 address with eth0 for a new network interface.

      • DeleteOnTermination (boolean) --

        Indicates whether the network interface is deleted when the instance is terminated.

      • Description (string) --

        A description for the network interface.

      • DeviceIndex (integer) --

        The device index for the network interface attachment.

      • Groups (list) --

        The IDs of one or more security groups.

        • (string) --

      • Ipv6AddressCount (integer) --

        The number of IPv6 addresses to assign to a network interface. Amazon EC2 automatically selects the IPv6 addresses from the subnet range. You can't use this option if specifying specific IPv6 addresses.

      • Ipv6Addresses (list) --

        One or more specific IPv6 addresses from the IPv6 CIDR block range of your subnet. You can't use this option if you're specifying a number of IPv6 addresses.

        • (dict) --

          Describes an IPv6 address.

          • Ipv6Address (string) --

            The IPv6 address.

      • NetworkInterfaceId (string) --

        The ID of the network interface.

      • PrivateIpAddress (string) --

      • PrivateIpAddresses (list) --

        One or more private IPv4 addresses.

        • (dict) --

          Describes a secondary private IPv4 address for a network interface.

          • Primary (boolean) --

            Indicates whether the private IPv4 address is the primary private IPv4 address. Only one IPv4 address can be designated as primary.

          • PrivateIpAddress (string) --

            The private IPv4 addresses.

      • SecondaryPrivateIpAddressCount (integer) --

        The number of secondary private IPv4 addresses to assign to a network interface.

      • SubnetId (string) --

Describes one or more of your instances.

If you specify one or more instance IDs, Amazon EC2 returns information for those instances. If you do not specify instance IDs, Amazon EC2 returns information for all relevant instances. 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 returned results.

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.

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 in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

For troubleshooting, see What To Do If An Instance Immediately Terminates, and Troubleshooting Connecting to Your Instance in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

type BlockDeviceMappings

list

param BlockDeviceMappings

One or more block device mapping entries. You can't specify both a snapshot ID and an encryption value. This is because only blank volumes can be encrypted on creation. If a snapshot is the basis for a volume, it is not blank and its encryption status is used for the volume encryption status.

  • (dict) --

    Describes a block device mapping.

    • 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.

      • Iops (integer) --

        The number of I/O operations per second (IOPS) that the volume supports. For io1 , this represents the number of IOPS that are provisioned for the volume. For gp2 , this represents the baseline performance of the volume and the rate at which the volume accumulates I/O credits for bursting. For more information about General Purpose SSD baseline performance, I/O credits, and bursting, see Amazon EBS Volume Types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

        Constraints: Range is 100-10,000 IOPS for gp2 volumes and 100 to 64,000IOPS for io1 volumes in most regions. Maximum io1 IOPS of 64,000 is guaranteed only on Nitro-based instances. Other instance families guarantee performance up to 32,000 IOPS. For more information, see Amazon EBS Volume Types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

        Condition: This parameter is required for requests to create io1 volumes; it is not used in requests to create gp2 , st1 , sc1 , or standard volumes.

      • SnapshotId (string) --

        The ID of the snapshot.

      • VolumeSize (integer) --

        The size of the volume, in GiB.

        Constraints: 1-16384 for General Purpose SSD ( gp2 ), 4-16384 for Provisioned IOPS SSD ( io1 ), 500-16384 for Throughput Optimized HDD ( st1 ), 500-16384 for Cold HDD ( sc1 ), and 1-1024 for Magnetic ( standard ) volumes. If you specify a snapshot, the volume size must be equal to or larger than the snapshot size.

        Default: If you're creating the volume from a snapshot and don't specify a volume size, the default is the snapshot size.

      • VolumeType (string) --

        The volume type: gp2 , io1 , st1 , sc1 , or standard .

        Default: standard

      • Encrypted (boolean) --

        Indicates whether the EBS volume is encrypted. Encrypted volumes can only be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption.

        If you are creating a volume from a snapshot, you cannot specify an encryption value. This is because only blank volumes can be encrypted on creation. If you are creating a snapshot from an existing EBS volume, you cannot specify an encryption value that differs from that of the EBS volume. We recommend that you omit the encryption value from the block device mappings when creating an image from an instance.

      • KmsKeyId (string) --

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

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

    • NoDevice (string) --

      Suppresses the specified device included in the block device mapping of the AMI.

StopInstances (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'Hibernate': 'boolean'}

Stops an Amazon EBS-backed instance.

You can use the Stop action to hibernate an instance if the instance is enabled for hibernation and it meets the hibernation prerequisites. For more information, see Hibernate Your Instance in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

We don't charge usage for a stopped instance, or data transfer fees; however, your root partition Amazon EBS volume remains and continues to persist your data, and you are charged for Amazon EBS volume usage. Every time you start your Windows instance, Amazon EC2 charges you for a full instance hour. If you stop and restart your Windows instance, a new instance hour begins and Amazon EC2 charges you for another full instance hour even if you are still within the same 60-minute period when it was stopped. Every time you start your Linux instance, Amazon EC2 charges a one-minute minimum for instance usage, and thereafter charges per second for instance usage.

You can't start, stop, or hibernate Spot Instances, and you can't stop or hibernate instance store-backed instances. For information about using hibernation for Spot Instances, see Hibernating Interrupted Spot Instances in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

When you stop or hibernate an instance, we shut it down. You can restart your instance at any time. Before stopping or hibernating an instance, make sure it is in a state from which it can be restarted. Stopping an instance does not preserve data stored in RAM, but hibernating an instance does preserve data stored in RAM. If an instance cannot hibernate successfully, a normal shutdown occurs.

Stopping and hibernating an instance is different to rebooting or terminating it. For example, when you stop or hibernate an instance, the root device and any other devices attached to the instance persist. When you terminate an instance, the root device and any other devices attached during the instance launch are automatically deleted. For more information about the differences between rebooting, stopping, hibernating, and terminating instances, see Instance Lifecycle in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

When you stop an instance, we attempt to shut it down forcibly after a short while. If your instance appears stuck in the stopping state after a period of time, there may be an issue with the underlying host computer. For more information, see Troubleshooting Stopping Your Instance in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
