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

Description

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

See https://www.paws-r-sdk.com/docs/ec2_create_image/ for full documentation.

Usage

ec2_create_image(
  TagSpecifications = NULL,
  DryRun = NULL,
  InstanceId,
  Name,
  Description = NULL,
  NoReboot = NULL,
  BlockDeviceMappings = NULL
)

Arguments

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 Amazon 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. If you specify other values for ResourceType, the request fails. To tag an AMI or snapshot after it has been created, see create_tags.
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.
InstanceId	[required] The ID of the instance.
Name	[required] A name for the new image. Constraints: 3-128 alphanumeric characters, parentheses (()), square brackets ([]), spaces ( ), periods (.), slashes (/), dashes (-), single quotes ('), at-signs (@), or underscores(_)
Description	A description for the new image.
NoReboot	Indicates whether or not the instance should be automatically rebooted before creating the image. Specify one of the following values: true - The instance is not rebooted before creating the image. This creates crash-consistent snapshots that include only the data that has been written to the volumes at the time the snapshots are created. Buffered data and data in memory that has not yet been written to the volumes is not included in the snapshots. false - The instance is rebooted before creating the image. This ensures that all buffered data and data in memory is written to the volumes before the snapshots are created. Default: false
BlockDeviceMappings	The block device mappings. When using the CreateImage action: You can't change the volume size using the VolumeSize parameter. If you want a different volume size, you must first change the volume size of the source instance. You can't modify the encryption status of existing volumes or snapshots. To create an AMI with volumes or snapshots that have a different encryption status (for example, where the source volume and snapshots are unencrypted, and you want to create an AMI with encrypted volumes or snapshots), use the copy_image action. The only option that can be changed for existing mappings or snapshots is DeleteOnTermination.
