Amazon Elastic Inference

2020/04/24 - Amazon Elastic Inference - 3 new api methods

Changes  This feature allows customers to describe the accelerator types and offerings on any region where Elastic Inference is available.

DescribeAcceleratorOfferings (new) Link ¶

Describes the locations in which a given accelerator type or set of types is present in a given region.

The location type that you want to describe accelerator type offerings for. It can assume the following values: region: will return the accelerator type offering at the regional level. availability-zone: will return the accelerator type offering at the availability zone level. availability-zone-id: will return the accelerator type offering at the availability zone level returning the availability zone id.

type acceleratorIds

list

param acceleratorIds

The IDs of the accelerators to describe.

  • (string) --

type filters

list

param filters

One or more filters. Filter names and values are case-sensitive. Valid filter names are: accelerator-types: can provide a list of accelerator type names to filter for. instance-id: can provide a list of EC2 instance ids to filter for.

  • (dict) --

    A filter expression for the Elastic Inference Accelerator list.

    • name (string) --

      The filter name for the Elastic Inference Accelerator list. It can assume the following values: accelerator-type: the type of Elastic Inference Accelerator to filter for. instance-id: an EC2 instance id to filter for.

    • values (list) --

      The values for the filter of the Elastic Inference Accelerator list.

      • (string) --

type maxResults

integer

param maxResults

The total number of items to return in the command's output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command's output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

type nextToken

string

param nextToken

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

rtype

dict

returns
