CopyImage (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'DestinationOutpostArn': 'string'}

Initiates the copy of an AMI. You can copy an AMI from one Region to another, or from a Region to an AWS Outpost. You can't copy an AMI from an Outpost to a Region, from one Outpost to another, or within the same Outpost.

To copy an AMI from one Region to another, specify the source Region using the SourceRegion parameter, and specify the destination Region using its endpoint. Copies of encrypted backing snapshots for the AMI are encrypted. Copies of unencrypted backing snapshots remain unencrypted, unless you set Encrypted during the copy operation. You cannot create an unencrypted copy of an encrypted backing snapshot.

To copy an AMI from a Region to an Outpost, specify the source Region using the SourceRegion parameter, and specify the ARN of the destination Outpost using DestinationOutpostArn . Backing snapshots copied to an Outpost are encrypted by default using the default encryption key for the Region, or a different key that you specify in the request using KmsKeyId . Outposts do not support unencrypted snapshots. For more information, Amazon EBS local snapshots on Outposts in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

For more information about the prerequisites and limits when copying an AMI, see Copying an AMI in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

type ClientToken

string

param ClientToken

Unique, case-sensitive identifier you provide to ensure idempotency of the request. For more information, see How to Ensure Idempotency in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

type Description

string

param Description

A description for the new AMI in the destination Region.

type Encrypted

boolean

param Encrypted

Specifies whether the destination snapshots of the copied image should be encrypted. You can encrypt a copy of an unencrypted snapshot, but you cannot create an unencrypted copy of an encrypted snapshot. 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 KmsKeyId

string

param KmsKeyId

The identifier of the symmetric AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer master key (CMK) to use when creating encrypted volumes. If this parameter is not specified, your AWS managed CMK for EBS is used. If you specify a CMK, you must also set the encrypted state to true .

You can specify a CMK using any of the following:

  • Key ID. For example, 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.

  • Key alias. For example, alias/ExampleAlias.

  • Key ARN. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:012345678910:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.

  • Alias ARN. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:012345678910:alias/ExampleAlias.

AWS authenticates the CMK asynchronously. Therefore, if you specify an identifier that is not valid, the action can appear to complete, but eventually fails.

The specified CMK must exist in the destination Region.

Amazon EBS does not support asymmetric CMKs.

type Name

string

param Name

[REQUIRED]

The name of the new AMI in the destination Region.

type SourceImageId

string

param SourceImageId

[REQUIRED]

The ID of the AMI to copy.

type SourceRegion

string

param SourceRegion

[REQUIRED]

The name of the Region that contains the AMI to copy.

type DestinationOutpostArn

string

param DestinationOutpostArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Outpost to which to copy the AMI. Only specify this parameter when copying an AMI from an AWS Region to an Outpost. The AMI must be in the Region of the destination Outpost. You cannot copy an AMI from an Outpost to a Region, from one Outpost to another, or within the same Outpost.

For more information, see Copying AMIs from an AWS Region to an Outpost in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

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 .

CopySnapshot (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'DestinationOutpostArn': 'string'}

Copies a point-in-time snapshot of an EBS volume and stores it in Amazon S3. You can copy a snapshot within the same Region, from one Region to another, or from a Region to an Outpost. You can't copy a snapshot from an Outpost to a Region, from one Outpost to another, or within the same Outpost.

You can use the snapshot to create EBS volumes or Amazon Machine Images (AMIs).

When copying snapshots to a Region, copies of encrypted EBS snapshots remain encrypted. Copies of unencrypted snapshots remain unencrypted, unless you enable encryption for the snapshot copy operation. By default, encrypted snapshot copies use the default AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer master key (CMK); however, you can specify a different CMK. To copy an encrypted snapshot that has been shared from another account, you must have permissions for the CMK used to encrypt the snapshot.

Snapshots copied to an Outpost are encrypted by default using the default encryption key for the Region, or a different key that you specify in the request using KmsKeyId . Outposts do not support unencrypted snapshots. For more information, Amazon EBS local snapshots on Outposts in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

Snapshots created by copying another snapshot have an arbitrary volume ID that should not be used for any purpose.

For more information, see Copying an Amazon EBS snapshot in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

type Description

string

param Description

A description for the EBS snapshot.

type DestinationOutpostArn

string

param DestinationOutpostArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Outpost to which to copy the snapshot. Only specify this parameter when copying a snapshot from an AWS Region to an Outpost. The snapshot must be in the Region for the destination Outpost. You cannot copy a snapshot from an Outpost to a Region, from one Outpost to another, or within the same Outpost.

For more information, see Copying snapshots from an AWS Region to an Outpost in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

type DestinationRegion

string

param DestinationRegion

The destination Region to use in the PresignedUrl parameter of a snapshot copy operation. This parameter is only valid for specifying the destination Region in a PresignedUrl parameter, where it is required.

The snapshot copy is sent to the regional endpoint that you sent the HTTP request to (for example, ec2.us-east-1.amazonaws.com ). With the AWS CLI, this is specified using the --region parameter or the default Region in your AWS configuration file.

type Encrypted

boolean

param Encrypted

To encrypt a copy of an unencrypted snapshot if encryption by default is not enabled, enable encryption using this parameter. Otherwise, omit this parameter. Encrypted snapshots are encrypted, even if you omit this parameter and encryption by default is not enabled. You cannot set this parameter to false. For more information, see Amazon EBS encryption in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

type KmsKeyId

string

param KmsKeyId

The identifier of the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer master key (CMK) to use for Amazon EBS encryption. If this parameter is not specified, your AWS managed CMK for EBS is used. If KmsKeyId is specified, the encrypted state must be true .

You can specify the CMK using any of the following:

  • Key ID. For example, 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.

  • Key alias. For example, alias/ExampleAlias.

  • Key ARN. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:012345678910:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.

  • Alias ARN. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:012345678910:alias/ExampleAlias.

AWS authenticates the CMK asynchronously. Therefore, if you specify an ID, alias, or ARN that is not valid, the action can appear to complete, but eventually fails.

type PresignedUrl

string

param PresignedUrl

When you copy an encrypted source snapshot using the Amazon EC2 Query API, you must supply a pre-signed URL. This parameter is optional for unencrypted snapshots. For more information, see Query requests.

The PresignedUrl should use the snapshot source endpoint, the CopySnapshot action, and include the SourceRegion , SourceSnapshotId , and DestinationRegion parameters. The PresignedUrl must be signed using AWS Signature Version 4. Because EBS snapshots are stored in Amazon S3, the signing algorithm for this parameter uses the same logic that is described in Authenticating Requests: Using Query Parameters (AWS Signature Version 4) in the Amazon Simple Storage Service API Reference . An invalid or improperly signed PresignedUrl will cause the copy operation to fail asynchronously, and the snapshot will move to an error state.

type SourceRegion

string

param SourceRegion

[REQUIRED]

The ID of the Region that contains the snapshot to be copied.

type SourceSnapshotId

string

param SourceSnapshotId

[REQUIRED]

The ID of the EBS snapshot to copy.

CreateImage (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'BlockDeviceMappings': {'Ebs': {'OutpostArn': 'string'}}}

Creates an Amazon EBS-backed AMI from an Amazon EBS-backed instance that is either running or stopped.

If you customized your instance with instance store volumes or EBS volumes in addition to the root device volume, the new AMI contains block device mapping information for those volumes. When you launch an instance from this new AMI, the instance automatically launches with those additional volumes.

For more information, see Creating Amazon EBS-Backed Linux AMIs in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

type BlockDeviceMappings

list

param BlockDeviceMappings

The block device mappings. This parameter cannot be used to modify the encryption status of existing volumes or snapshots. To create an AMI with encrypted snapshots, use the CopyImage action.

  • (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. 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.

      • 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 .

    • NoDevice (string) --

      To omit the device from the block device mapping, specify an empty string.

boolean

param NoReboot

By default, Amazon EC2 attempts to shut down and reboot the instance before creating the image. If the No Reboot option is set, Amazon EC2 doesn't shut down the instance before creating the image. When this option is used, file system integrity on the created image can't be guaranteed.

type TagSpecifications

list

param TagSpecifications

The tags to apply to the AMI and snapshots on creation. You can tag the AMI, the snapshots, or both.

  • To tag the AMI, the value for ResourceType must be image .

  • To tag the snapshots that are created of the root volume and of other EBS volumes that are attached to the instance, the value for ResourceType must be snapshot . The same tag is applied to all of the snapshots that are created.

CreateSnapshot (updated) Link ¶
Changes (both)
{'OutpostArn': 'string'}

Creates a snapshot of an EBS volume and stores it in Amazon S3. You can use snapshots for backups, to make copies of EBS volumes, and to save data before shutting down an instance.

You can create snapshots of volumes in a Region and volumes on an Outpost. If you create a snapshot of a volume in a Region, the snapshot must be stored in the same Region as the volume. If you create a snapshot of a volume on an Outpost, the snapshot can be stored on the same Outpost as the volume, or in the Region for that Outpost.

When a snapshot is created, any AWS Marketplace product codes that are associated with the source volume are propagated to the snapshot.

You can take a snapshot of an attached volume that is in use. However, snapshots only capture data that has been written to your EBS volume at the time the snapshot command is issued; this might exclude any data that has been cached by any applications or the operating system. If you can pause any file systems on the volume long enough to take a snapshot, your snapshot should be complete. However, if you cannot pause all file writes to the volume, you should unmount the volume from within the instance, issue the snapshot command, and then remount the volume to ensure a consistent and complete snapshot. You may remount and use your volume while the snapshot status is pending .

To create a snapshot for EBS volumes that serve as root devices, you should stop the instance before taking the snapshot.

Snapshots that are taken from encrypted volumes are automatically encrypted. Volumes that are created from encrypted snapshots are also automatically encrypted. Your encrypted volumes and any associated snapshots always remain protected.

You can tag your snapshots during creation. For more information, see Tagging your Amazon EC2 resources in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

For more information, see Amazon Elastic Block Store and Amazon EBS encryption in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

  • (dict) --

    Describes a snapshot.

    • DataEncryptionKeyId (string) --

      The data encryption key identifier for the snapshot. This value is a unique identifier that corresponds to the data encryption key that was used to encrypt the original volume or snapshot copy. Because data encryption keys are inherited by volumes created from snapshots, and vice versa, if snapshots share the same data encryption key identifier, then they belong to the same volume/snapshot lineage. This parameter is only returned by DescribeSnapshots.

    • Description (string) --

      The description for the snapshot.

    • Encrypted (boolean) --

      Indicates whether the snapshot is encrypted.

    • Progress (string) --

      The progress of the snapshot, as a percentage.

    • SnapshotId (string) --

      The ID of the snapshot. Each snapshot receives a unique identifier when it is created.

    • StartTime (datetime) --

      The time stamp when the snapshot was initiated.

    • State (string) --

      The snapshot state.

    • StateMessage (string) --

      Encrypted Amazon EBS snapshots are copied asynchronously. If a snapshot copy operation fails (for example, if the proper AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) permissions are not obtained) this field displays error state details to help you diagnose why the error occurred. This parameter is only returned by DescribeSnapshots.

    • VolumeId (string) --

      The ID of the volume that was used to create the snapshot. Snapshots created by the CopySnapshot action have an arbitrary volume ID that should not be used for any purpose.

    • VolumeSize (integer) --

      The size of the volume, in GiB.

    • OwnerAlias (string) --

      The AWS owner alias, from an Amazon-maintained list ( amazon ). This is not the user-configured AWS account alias set using the IAM console.

CreateSnapshots (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request, response)
Request
{'OutpostArn': 'string'}
Response
{'Snapshots': {'OutpostArn': 'string'}}

Creates crash-consistent snapshots of multiple EBS volumes and stores the data in S3. Volumes are chosen by specifying an instance. Any attached volumes will produce one snapshot each that is crash-consistent across the instance. Boot volumes can be excluded by changing the parameters.

You can create multi-volume snapshots of instances in a Region and instances on an Outpost. If you create snapshots from an instance in a Region, the snapshots must be stored in the same Region as the instance. If you create snapshots from an instance on an Outpost, the snapshots can be stored on the same Outpost as the instance, or in the Region for that Outpost.

          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) --

          • 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

            • 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.

          • 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 .

DescribeImages (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'Images': {'BlockDeviceMappings': {'Ebs': {'OutpostArn': 'string'}}}}

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 AWS 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 results in an error indicating that the AMI ID cannot be found.

                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.

                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.

              • 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 .

DescribeSnapshots (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'Snapshots': {'OutpostArn': 'string'}}

Describes the specified EBS snapshots available to you or all of the EBS snapshots available to you.

The snapshots available to you include public snapshots, private snapshots that you own, and private snapshots owned by other AWS accounts for which you have explicit create volume permissions.

The create volume permissions fall into the following categories:

  • public : The owner of the snapshot granted create volume permissions for the snapshot to the all group. All AWS accounts have create volume permissions for these snapshots.

  • explicit : The owner of the snapshot granted create volume permissions to a specific AWS account.

  • implicit : An AWS account has implicit create volume permissions for all snapshots it owns.

The list of snapshots returned can be filtered by specifying snapshot IDs, snapshot owners, or AWS accounts with create volume permissions. If no options are specified, Amazon EC2 returns all snapshots for which you have create volume permissions.

If you specify one or more snapshot IDs, only snapshots that have the specified IDs are returned. If you specify an invalid snapshot ID, an error is returned. If you specify a snapshot ID for which you do not have access, it is not included in the returned results.

If you specify one or more snapshot owners using the OwnerIds option, only snapshots from the specified owners and for which you have access are returned. The results can include the AWS account IDs of the specified owners, amazon for snapshots owned by Amazon, or self for snapshots that you own.

If you specify a list of restorable users, only snapshots with create snapshot permissions for those users are returned. You can specify AWS account IDs (if you own the snapshots), self for snapshots for which you own or have explicit permissions, or all for public snapshots.

If you are describing a long list of snapshots, we recommend that you paginate the output to make the list more manageable. The MaxResults parameter sets the maximum number of results returned in a single page. If the list of results exceeds your MaxResults value, then that number of results is returned along with a NextToken value that can be passed to a subsequent DescribeSnapshots request to retrieve the remaining results.

To get the state of fast snapshot restores for a snapshot, use DescribeFastSnapshotRestores.

For more information about EBS snapshots, see Amazon EBS snapshots in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

The maximum number of snapshot results returned by DescribeSnapshots in paginated output. When this parameter is used, DescribeSnapshots only returns MaxResults results in a single page along with a NextToken response element. The remaining results of the initial request can be seen by sending another DescribeSnapshots request with the returned NextToken value. This value can be between 5 and 1,000; if MaxResults is given a value larger than 1,000, only 1,000 results are returned. If this parameter is not used, then DescribeSnapshots returns all results. You cannot specify this parameter and the snapshot IDs parameter in the same request.

type NextToken

string

param NextToken

The NextToken value returned from a previous paginated DescribeSnapshots request where MaxResults was used and the results exceeded the value of that parameter. Pagination continues from the end of the previous results that returned the NextToken value. This value is null when there are no more results to return.

type OwnerIds

list

param OwnerIds

Scopes the results to snapshots with the specified owners. You can specify a combination of AWS account IDs, self , and amazon .

  • (string) --

type RestorableByUserIds

list

param RestorableByUserIds

The IDs of the AWS accounts that can create volumes from the snapshot.

  • (string) --

type SnapshotIds

list

param SnapshotIds

The snapshot IDs.

Default: Describes the snapshots for which you have create volume permissions.

  • (string) --

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 .

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • Snapshots (list) --

      Information about the snapshots.

      • (dict) --

        Describes a snapshot.

        • DataEncryptionKeyId (string) --

          The data encryption key identifier for the snapshot. This value is a unique identifier that corresponds to the data encryption key that was used to encrypt the original volume or snapshot copy. Because data encryption keys are inherited by volumes created from snapshots, and vice versa, if snapshots share the same data encryption key identifier, then they belong to the same volume/snapshot lineage. This parameter is only returned by DescribeSnapshots.

        • Description (string) --

          The description for the snapshot.

        • Encrypted (boolean) --

          Indicates whether the snapshot is encrypted.

        • KmsKeyId (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer master key (CMK) that was used to protect the volume encryption key for the parent volume.

        • OwnerId (string) --

          The AWS account ID of the EBS snapshot owner.

        • Progress (string) --

          The progress of the snapshot, as a percentage.

        • SnapshotId (string) --

          The ID of the snapshot. Each snapshot receives a unique identifier when it is created.

        • StartTime (datetime) --

          The time stamp when the snapshot was initiated.

        • State (string) --

          The snapshot state.

        • StateMessage (string) --

          Encrypted Amazon EBS snapshots are copied asynchronously. If a snapshot copy operation fails (for example, if the proper AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) permissions are not obtained) this field displays error state details to help you diagnose why the error occurred. This parameter is only returned by DescribeSnapshots.

        • VolumeId (string) --

          The ID of the volume that was used to create the snapshot. Snapshots created by the CopySnapshot action have an arbitrary volume ID that should not be used for any purpose.

        • VolumeSize (integer) --

          The size of the volume, in GiB.

        • OwnerAlias (string) --

          The AWS owner alias, from an Amazon-maintained list ( amazon ). This is not the user-configured AWS account alias set using the IAM console.

        • OutpostArn (string) --

          The ARN of the AWS Outpost on which the snapshot is stored. For more information, see EBS Local Snapshot on Outposts in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

        • Tags (list) --

          Any tags assigned to the snapshot.

          • (dict) --

            Describes a tag.

            • Key (string) --

              The key of the tag.

              Constraints: Tag keys are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 127 Unicode characters. May not begin with aws: .

            • Value (string) --

              The value of the tag.

              Constraints: Tag values are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 255 Unicode characters.

    • NextToken (string) --

      The NextToken value to include in a future DescribeSnapshots request. When the results of a DescribeSnapshots request exceed MaxResults , this value can be used to retrieve the next page of results. This value is null when there are no more results to return.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    Contains the output of DescribeSpotFleetRequests.

    • NextToken (string) --

      The token required to retrieve the next set of results. This value is null when there are no more results to return.

    • SpotFleetRequestConfigs (list) --

      Information about the configuration of your Spot Fleet.

      • (dict) --

        Describes a Spot Fleet request.

        • ActivityStatus (string) --

          The progress of the Spot Fleet request. If there is an error, the status is error . After all requests are placed, the status is pending_fulfillment . If the size of the fleet is equal to or greater than its target capacity, the status is fulfilled . If the size of the fleet is decreased, the status is pending_termination while Spot Instances are terminating.

        • CreateTime (datetime) --

          The creation date and time of the request.

        • SpotFleetRequestConfig (dict) --

          The configuration of the Spot Fleet request.

          • AllocationStrategy (string) --

            Indicates how to allocate the target Spot Instance capacity across the Spot Instance pools specified by the Spot Fleet request.

            If the allocation strategy is lowestPrice , Spot Fleet launches instances from the Spot Instance pools with the lowest price. This is the default allocation strategy.

            If the allocation strategy is diversified , Spot Fleet launches instances from all the Spot Instance pools that you specify.

            If the allocation strategy is capacityOptimized , Spot Fleet launches instances from Spot Instance pools with optimal capacity for the number of instances that are launching.

          • OnDemandAllocationStrategy (string) --

            The order of the launch template overrides to use in fulfilling On-Demand capacity. If you specify lowestPrice , Spot Fleet uses price to determine the order, launching the lowest price first. If you specify prioritized , Spot Fleet uses the priority that you assign to each Spot Fleet launch template override, launching the highest priority first. If you do not specify a value, Spot Fleet defaults to lowestPrice .

          • SpotMaintenanceStrategies (dict) --

            The strategies for managing your Spot Instances that are at an elevated risk of being interrupted.

            • CapacityRebalance (dict) --

              The strategy to use when Amazon EC2 emits a signal that your Spot Instance is at an elevated risk of being interrupted.

              • ReplacementStrategy (string) --

                The replacement strategy to use. Only available for fleets of type maintain . You must specify a value, otherwise you get an error.

                To allow Spot Fleet to launch a replacement Spot Instance when an instance rebalance notification is emitted for a Spot Instance in the fleet, specify launch .

                Note

                When a replacement instance is launched, the instance marked for rebalance is not automatically terminated. You can terminate it, or you can leave it running. You are charged for all instances while they are running.

          • ClientToken (string) --

            A unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of your listings. This helps to avoid duplicate listings. For more information, see Ensuring Idempotency.

          • ExcessCapacityTerminationPolicy (string) --

            Indicates whether running Spot Instances should be terminated if you decrease the target capacity of the Spot Fleet request below the current size of the Spot Fleet.

          • FulfilledCapacity (float) --

            The number of units fulfilled by this request compared to the set target capacity. You cannot set this value.

          • OnDemandFulfilledCapacity (float) --

            The number of On-Demand units fulfilled by this request compared to the set target On-Demand capacity.

          • IamFleetRole (string) --

            The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that grants the Spot Fleet the permission to request, launch, terminate, and tag instances on your behalf. For more information, see Spot Fleet prerequisites in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances . Spot Fleet can terminate Spot Instances on your behalf when you cancel its Spot Fleet request using CancelSpotFleetRequests or when the Spot Fleet request expires, if you set TerminateInstancesWithExpiration .

          • LaunchSpecifications (list) --

            The launch specifications for the Spot Fleet request. If you specify LaunchSpecifications , you can't specify LaunchTemplateConfigs . If you include On-Demand capacity in your request, you must use LaunchTemplateConfigs .

            • (dict) --

              Describes the launch specification for one or more Spot Instances. If you include On-Demand capacity in your fleet request or want to specify an EFA network device, you can't use SpotFleetLaunchSpecification ; you must use LaunchTemplateConfig.

              • SecurityGroups (list) --

                One or more security groups. When requesting instances in a VPC, you must specify the IDs of the security groups. When requesting instances in EC2-Classic, you can specify the names or the IDs of the security groups.

                • (dict) --

                  Describes a security group.

                  • GroupName (string) --

                    The name of the security group.

                  • GroupId (string) --

                    The ID of the security group.

              • AddressingType (string) --

                Deprecated.

              • BlockDeviceMappings (list) --

                One or more block devices that are mapped to the Spot Instances. 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.

                      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.

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

                    • 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.

DescribeSpotInstanceRequests (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'SpotInstanceRequests': {'LaunchSpecification': {'BlockDeviceMappings': {'Ebs': {'OutpostArn': 'string'}}}}}

Describes the specified Spot Instance requests.

You can use DescribeSpotInstanceRequests to find a running Spot Instance by examining the response. If the status of the Spot Instance is fulfilled , the instance ID appears in the response and contains the identifier of the instance. Alternatively, you can use DescribeInstances with a filter to look for instances where the instance lifecycle is spot .

We recommend that you set MaxResults to a value between 5 and 1000 to limit the number of results returned. This paginates the output, which makes the list more manageable and returns the results faster. If the list of results exceeds your MaxResults value, then that number of results is returned along with a NextToken value that can be passed to a subsequent DescribeSpotInstanceRequests request to retrieve the remaining results.

Spot Instance requests are deleted four hours after they are canceled and their instances are terminated.

                  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

                  • 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.

                  • 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.

                • OutpostArn (string) --

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

                • 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 .

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 Creating your own AMIs 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.

You can also use RegisterImage to create an Amazon EBS-backed Linux AMI from a snapshot of a root device volume. You specify the snapshot using the block device mapping. For more information, see Launching a Linux instance from a backup in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

If any snapshots have AWS 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 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 Obtaining billing information in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

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.

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 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 Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

  • (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. 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.

      • 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 .

    • NoDevice (string) --

      To omit the device from the block device mapping, specify an empty string.

type Description

RequestSpotFleet (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'SpotFleetRequestConfig': {'LaunchSpecifications': {'BlockDeviceMappings': {'Ebs': {'OutpostArn': 'string'}}}}}

Creates a Spot Fleet request.

The Spot Fleet request specifies the total target capacity and the On-Demand target capacity. Amazon EC2 calculates the difference between the total capacity and On-Demand capacity, and launches the difference as Spot capacity.

You can submit a single request that includes multiple launch specifications that vary by instance type, AMI, Availability Zone, or subnet.

By default, the Spot Fleet requests Spot Instances in the Spot Instance pool where the price per unit is the lowest. Each launch specification can include its own instance weighting that reflects the value of the instance type to your application workload.

Alternatively, you can specify that the Spot Fleet distribute the target capacity across the Spot pools included in its launch specifications. By ensuring that the Spot Instances in your Spot Fleet are in different Spot pools, you can improve the availability of your fleet.

You can specify tags for the Spot Fleet request and instances launched by the fleet. You cannot tag other resource types in a Spot Fleet request because only the spot-fleet-request and instance resource types are supported.

For more information, see Spot Fleet requests in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances .

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 SpotFleetRequestConfig

dict

param SpotFleetRequestConfig

[REQUIRED]

The configuration for the Spot Fleet request.

  • AllocationStrategy (string) --

    Indicates how to allocate the target Spot Instance capacity across the Spot Instance pools specified by the Spot Fleet request.

    If the allocation strategy is lowestPrice , Spot Fleet launches instances from the Spot Instance pools with the lowest price. This is the default allocation strategy.

    If the allocation strategy is diversified , Spot Fleet launches instances from all the Spot Instance pools that you specify.

    If the allocation strategy is capacityOptimized , Spot Fleet launches instances from Spot Instance pools with optimal capacity for the number of instances that are launching.

  • OnDemandAllocationStrategy (string) --

    The order of the launch template overrides to use in fulfilling On-Demand capacity. If you specify lowestPrice , Spot Fleet uses price to determine the order, launching the lowest price first. If you specify prioritized , Spot Fleet uses the priority that you assign to each Spot Fleet launch template override, launching the highest priority first. If you do not specify a value, Spot Fleet defaults to lowestPrice .

  • SpotMaintenanceStrategies (dict) --

    The strategies for managing your Spot Instances that are at an elevated risk of being interrupted.

    • CapacityRebalance (dict) --

      The strategy to use when Amazon EC2 emits a signal that your Spot Instance is at an elevated risk of being interrupted.

      • ReplacementStrategy (string) --

        The replacement strategy to use. Only available for fleets of type maintain . You must specify a value, otherwise you get an error.

        To allow Spot Fleet to launch a replacement Spot Instance when an instance rebalance notification is emitted for a Spot Instance in the fleet, specify launch .

        Note

        When a replacement instance is launched, the instance marked for rebalance is not automatically terminated. You can terminate it, or you can leave it running. You are charged for all instances while they are running.

  • ClientToken (string) --

    A unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of your listings. This helps to avoid duplicate listings. For more information, see Ensuring Idempotency.

  • ExcessCapacityTerminationPolicy (string) --

    Indicates whether running Spot Instances should be terminated if you decrease the target capacity of the Spot Fleet request below the current size of the Spot Fleet.

  • FulfilledCapacity (float) --

    The number of units fulfilled by this request compared to the set target capacity. You cannot set this value.

  • OnDemandFulfilledCapacity (float) --

    The number of On-Demand units fulfilled by this request compared to the set target On-Demand capacity.

  • IamFleetRole (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that grants the Spot Fleet the permission to request, launch, terminate, and tag instances on your behalf. For more information, see Spot Fleet prerequisites in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances . Spot Fleet can terminate Spot Instances on your behalf when you cancel its Spot Fleet request using CancelSpotFleetRequests or when the Spot Fleet request expires, if you set TerminateInstancesWithExpiration .

  • LaunchSpecifications (list) --

    The launch specifications for the Spot Fleet request. If you specify LaunchSpecifications , you can't specify LaunchTemplateConfigs . If you include On-Demand capacity in your request, you must use LaunchTemplateConfigs .

    • (dict) --

      Describes the launch specification for one or more Spot Instances. If you include On-Demand capacity in your fleet request or want to specify an EFA network device, you can't use SpotFleetLaunchSpecification ; you must use LaunchTemplateConfig.

      • SecurityGroups (list) --

        One or more security groups. When requesting instances in a VPC, you must specify the IDs of the security groups. When requesting instances in EC2-Classic, you can specify the names or the IDs of the security groups.

        • (dict) --

          Describes a security group.

          • GroupName (string) --

            The name of the security group.

          • GroupId (string) --

            The ID of the security group.

      • AddressingType (string) --

        Deprecated.

      • BlockDeviceMappings (list) --

        One or more block devices that are mapped to the Spot Instances. 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. 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.

            • 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 .

          • NoDevice (string) --

            To omit the device from the block device mapping, specify an empty string.

      • EbsOptimized (boolean) --

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

        Default: false

      • IamInstanceProfile (dict) --

type AvailabilityZoneGroup

string

param AvailabilityZoneGroup

The user-specified name for a logical grouping of requests.

When you specify an Availability Zone group in a Spot Instance request, all Spot Instances in the request are launched in the same Availability Zone. Instance proximity is maintained with this parameter, but the choice of Availability Zone is not. The group applies only to requests for Spot Instances of the same instance type. Any additional Spot Instance requests that are specified with the same Availability Zone group name are launched in that same Availability Zone, as long as at least one instance from the group is still active.

If there is no active instance running in the Availability Zone group that you specify for a new Spot Instance request (all instances are terminated, the request is expired, or the maximum price you specified falls below current Spot price), then Amazon EC2 launches the instance in any Availability Zone where the constraint can be met. Consequently, the subsequent set of Spot Instances could be placed in a different zone from the original request, even if you specified the same Availability Zone group.

Default: Instances are launched in any available Availability Zone.

type BlockDurationMinutes

integer

param BlockDurationMinutes

The required duration for the Spot Instances (also known as Spot blocks), in minutes. This value must be a multiple of 60 (60, 120, 180, 240, 300, or 360).

The duration period starts as soon as your Spot Instance receives its instance ID. At the end of the duration period, Amazon EC2 marks the Spot Instance for termination and provides a Spot Instance termination notice, which gives the instance a two-minute warning before it terminates.

You can't specify an Availability Zone group or a launch group if you specify a duration.

New accounts or accounts with no previous billing history with AWS are not eligible for Spot Instances with a defined duration (also known as Spot blocks).

type ClientToken

string

param ClientToken

Unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. For more information, see How to Ensure Idempotency in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances .

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 InstanceCount

integer

param InstanceCount

The maximum number of Spot Instances to launch.

Default: 1

type LaunchGroup

string

param LaunchGroup

The instance launch group. Launch groups are Spot Instances that launch together and terminate together.

Default: Instances are launched and terminated individually

type LaunchSpecification

dict

param LaunchSpecification

The launch specification.

  • SecurityGroupIds (list) --

    One or more security group IDs.

    • (string) --

  • SecurityGroups (list) --

    One or more security groups. When requesting instances in a VPC, you must specify the IDs of the security groups. When requesting instances in EC2-Classic, you can specify the names or the IDs of the security groups.

    • (string) --

  • AddressingType (string) --

    Deprecated.

  • BlockDeviceMappings (list) --

    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 ).

        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) --

        • 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.

        • 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 .

      • NoDevice (string) --

        To omit the device from the block device mapping, specify an empty string.

  • EbsOptimized (boolean) --

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

    Default: false

  • IamInstanceProfile (dict) --

    The IAM instance profile.

    • Arn (string) --

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

    • (dict) --

      Describes a network interface.

      • AssociatePublicIpAddress (boolean) --

        Indicates whether to assign a public IPv4 address to an instance you launch in a VPC. The public IP address can only be assigned to a network interface for eth0, and can only be assigned to a new network interface, not an existing one. You cannot specify more than one network interface in the request. If launching into a default subnet, the default value is true .

      • DeleteOnTermination (boolean) --

        If set to true , the interface is deleted when the instance is terminated. You can specify true only if creating a new network interface when launching an instance.

      • Description (string) --

        The description of the network interface. Applies only if creating a network interface when launching an instance.

      • DeviceIndex (integer) --

        The position of the network interface in the attachment order. A primary network interface has a device index of 0.

        If you specify a network interface when launching an instance, you must specify the device index.

        The IDs of the security groups for the network interface. Applies only if creating a network interface when launching an instance.

        • (string) --

      • Ipv6AddressCount (integer) --

        A number of IPv6 addresses to assign to the network interface. Amazon EC2 chooses the IPv6 addresses from the range of the subnet. You cannot specify this option and the option to assign specific IPv6 addresses in the same request. You can specify this option if you've specified a minimum number of instances to launch.

      • Ipv6Addresses (list) --

        One or more IPv6 addresses to assign to the network interface. You cannot specify this option and the option to assign a number of IPv6 addresses in the same request. You cannot specify this option if you've specified a minimum number of instances to launch.

    The Base64-encoded user data for the instance. User data is limited to 16 KB.

type SpotPrice

string

param SpotPrice

The maximum price per hour that you are willing to pay for a Spot Instance. The default is the On-Demand price.

type Type

string

param Type

The Spot Instance request type.

Default: one-time

type ValidFrom

datetime

param ValidFrom

The start date of the request. If this is a one-time request, the request becomes active at this date and time and remains active until all instances launch, the request expires, or the request is canceled. If the request is persistent, the request becomes active at this date and time and remains active until it expires or is canceled.

The specified start date and time cannot be equal to the current date and time. You must specify a start date and time that occurs after the current date and time.

type ValidUntil

datetime

param ValidUntil

The end date of the request, in UTC format (YYYY -MM -DD T*HH* :MM :SS Z).

  • For a persistent request, the request remains active until the ValidUntil date and time is reached. Otherwise, the request remains active until you cancel it.

  • For a one-time request, the request remains active until all instances launch, the request is canceled, or the ValidUntil date and time is reached. By default, the request is valid for 7 days from the date the request was created.

type TagSpecifications

list

param TagSpecifications

The key-value pair for tagging the Spot Instance request on creation. The value for ResourceType must be spot-instances-request , otherwise the Spot Instance request fails. To tag the Spot Instance request after it has been created, see CreateTags.

  • (dict) --

    The tags to apply to a resource when the resource is being created.

              • 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.

                  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.

                  • 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.

                • OutpostArn (string) --

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

                • 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 .

{'BlockDeviceMappings': {'Ebs': {'OutpostArn': 'string'}}}

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.

type BlockDeviceMappings

list

param BlockDeviceMappings

The block device mapping entries.

  • (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. 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.

      • 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 .

    • NoDevice (string) --

      To omit the device from the block device mapping, specify an empty string.
