Describes one or more of your instances.
If you specify one or more instance IDs, Amazon EC2 returns information for those instances. If you do not specify instance IDs, Amazon EC2 returns information for all relevant instances. If you specify an instance ID that is not valid, an error is returned. If you specify an instance that you do not own, it is not included in the returned results.
Recently terminated instances might appear in the returned results. This interval is usually less than one hour.

block-device-mapping.attach-time - The attach time for an Amazon EBS volume mapped to the instance, for example, 2010-09-15T17:15:20.000Z .
block-device-mapping.delete-on-termination - A Boolean that indicates whether the Amazon EBS volume is deleted on instance termination.
block-device-mapping.device-name - The device name for the Amazon EBS volume (for example, /dev/sdh or xvdh ).
block-device-mapping.status - The status for the Amazon EBS volume ( attaching | attached | detaching | detached ).
block-device-mapping.volume-id - The volume ID of the Amazon EBS volume.
client-token - The idempotency token you provided when you launched the instance.
dns-name - The public DNS name of the instance.
group-id - The ID of the security group for the instance. EC2-Classic only.
group-name - The name of the security group for the instance. EC2-Classic only.
hypervisor - The hypervisor type of the instance ( ovm | xen ).

image-id - The ID of the image used to launch the instance.
instance-id - The ID of the instance.
instance-lifecycle - Indicates whether this is a Spot Instance ( spot ).
instance-state-code - The state of the instance, as a 16-bit unsigned integer. The high byte is an opaque internal value and should be ignored. The low byte is set based on the state represented. The valid values are: 0 (pending), 16 (running), 32 (shutting-down), 48 (terminated), 64 (stopping), and 80 (stopped).
instance-state-name - The state of the instance ( pending | running | shutting-down | terminated | stopping | stopped ).

boolean
string
[REQUIRED]
The maximum hourly price (bid) for any Spot Instance launched to fulfill the request.
integer
The maximum number of Spot Instances to launch.
Default: 1
string
The Spot Instance request type.
Default: one-time
datetime
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.
Default: The request is effective indefinitely.
datetime
The end date of the request. If this is a one-time request, the request remains active until all instances launch, the request is canceled, or this date is reached. If the request is persistent, it remains active until it is canceled or this date and time is reached.
Default: The request is effective indefinitely.
string
The instance launch group. Launch groups are Spot Instances that launch together and terminate together.
Default: Instances are launched and terminated individually
string
The user-specified name for a logical grouping of bids.
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 bids 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 bid is expired, or the bid falls below current market), 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.
