    A user-defined comment about the disk upload.

  • UploadEnd (datetime) --

    The time that the disk upload ends.

  • UploadSize (float) --

    The size of the uploaded disk image, in GiB.

  • UploadStart (datetime) --

    The time that the disk upload starts.

type ClientToken

string

param ClientToken

The token to enable idempotency for VM import requests.

type Description

string

param Description

A description string for the import image task.

type DiskContainers

list

param DiskContainers

Information about the disk containers.

  • (dict) --

    Describes the disk container object for an import image task.

    • Description (string) --

      The description of the disk image.

    • DeviceName (string) --

      The block device mapping for the disk.

    • Format (string) --

      The format of the disk image being imported.

      Valid values: VHD | VMDK | OVA

    • SnapshotId (string) --

      The ID of the EBS snapshot to be used for importing the snapshot.

    • Url (string) --

      The URL to the Amazon S3-based disk image being imported. The URL can either be a https URL (https://..) or an Amazon S3 URL (s3://..)

    • UserBucket (dict) --

      The S3 bucket for the disk image.

      • S3Bucket (string) --

        The name of the S3 bucket where the disk image is located.

      • S3Key (string) --

        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 CMK for EBS is used unless you specify a non-default AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) CMK 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 AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer master key (CMK) to use when creating the encrypted AMI. This parameter is only required if you want to use a non-default CMK; if this parameter is not specified, the default CMK for EBS is used. If a KmsKeyId is specified, the Encrypted flag must also be set.

The CMK 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 CMK, the AWS account ID of the CMK owner, the alias namespace, and then the CMK 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 CMK, the AWS account ID of the CMK owner, the key namespace, and then the CMK 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 CMK, the AWS account ID of the CMK owner, the alias namespace, and then the CMK alias. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1 :012345678910 :alias/ExampleAlias .

AWS 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 CMK must exist in the Region that the AMI is being copied to.

type LicenseType

string

param LicenseType

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

By default, we detect the source-system operating system (OS) and apply the appropriate license. Specify AWS to replace the source-system license with an AWS license, if appropriate. Specify BYOL to retain the source-system license, if appropriate.

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

type Platform

string

param Platform

The operating system of the virtual machine.

Valid values: Windows | Linux

type RoleName

string

param RoleName

The name of the role to use when not using the default role, 'vmimport'.

type LicenseSpecifications

list

param LicenseSpecifications

The ARNs of the license configurations.

  • (dict) --

    The request information of license configurations.

    • LicenseConfigurationArn (string) --

      The ARN of a license configuration.

ModifyHosts (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'InstanceFamily': 'string', 'InstanceType': 'string'}

Modify the auto-placement setting of a Dedicated Host. When auto-placement is enabled, any instances that you launch with a tenancy of host but without a specific host ID are placed onto any available Dedicated Host in your account that has auto-placement enabled. When auto-placement is disabled, you need to provide a host ID to have the instance launch onto a specific host. If no host ID is provided, the instance is launched onto a suitable host with auto-placement enabled.

You can also use this API action to modify a Dedicated Host to support either multiple instance types in an instance family, or to support a specific instance type only.
