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 ClientToken

string

param ClientToken

Unique, case-sensitive identifier you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. For more information, see Ensuring Idempotency .

type SpotOptions

dict

param SpotOptions

Describes the configuration of Spot Instances in an EC2 Fleet.

  • AllocationStrategy (string) --

    Indicates how to allocate the target capacity across the Spot pools specified by the Spot Fleet request. The default is lowestPrice .

  • InstanceInterruptionBehavior (string) --

    The behavior when a Spot Instance is interrupted. The default is terminate .

  • InstancePoolsToUseCount (integer) --

    The number of Spot pools across which to allocate your target Spot capacity. Valid only when Spot AllocationStrategy is set to lowest-price . EC2 Fleet selects the cheapest Spot pools and evenly allocates your target Spot capacity across the number of Spot pools that you specify.

type OnDemandOptions

dict

param OnDemandOptions

The allocation strategy of On-Demand Instances in an EC2 Fleet.

  • AllocationStrategy (string) --

    The order of the launch template overrides to use in fulfilling On-Demand capacity. If you specify lowest-price , EC2 Fleet uses price to determine the order, launching the lowest price first. If you specify prioritized , EC2 Fleet uses the priority that you assigned to each launch template override, launching the highest priority first. If you do not specify a value, EC2 Fleet defaults to lowest-price .

type ExcessCapacityTerminationPolicy

string

param ExcessCapacityTerminationPolicy

Indicates whether running instances should be terminated if the total target capacity of the EC2 Fleet is decreased below the current size of the EC2 Fleet.

type LaunchTemplateConfigs

list

param LaunchTemplateConfigs

[REQUIRED]

The configuration for the EC2 Fleet.

  • (dict) --

    Describes a launch template and overrides.

    • LaunchTemplateSpecification (dict) --

      The launch template to use. You must specify either the launch template ID or launch template name in the request.

      • LaunchTemplateId (string) --

        The ID of the launch template.

      • LaunchTemplateName (string) --

        The name of the launch template.

      • Version (string) --

        The version number of the launch template.

    • Overrides (list) --

      Any parameters that you specify override the same parameters in the launch template.

      • (dict) --

        Describes overrides for a launch template.

        • InstanceType (string) --

          The instance type.

        • MaxPrice (string) --

          The maximum price per unit hour that you are willing to pay for a Spot Instance.

        • SubnetId (string) --

          The ID of the subnet in which to launch the instances.

        • AvailabilityZone (string) --

          The Availability Zone in which to launch the instances.

        • WeightedCapacity (float) --

          The number of units provided by the specified instance type.

        • Priority (float) --

          The priority for the launch template override. If AllocationStrategy is set to prioritized , EC2 Fleet uses priority to determine which launch template override to use first in fulfilling On-Demand capacity. The highest priority is launched first. Valid values are whole numbers starting at 0 . The lower the number, the higher the priority. If no number is set, the launch template override has the lowest priority.

type TargetCapacitySpecification

dict

param TargetCapacitySpecification

[REQUIRED]

The TotalTargetCapacity , OnDemandTargetCapacity , SpotTargetCapacity , and DefaultCapacityType structure.

  • TotalTargetCapacity (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

    The number of units to request, filled using DefaultTargetCapacityType .

  • OnDemandTargetCapacity (integer) --

    The number of On-Demand units to request.

  • SpotTargetCapacity (integer) --

    The number of Spot units to request.

  • DefaultTargetCapacityType (string) --

    The default TotalTargetCapacity , which is either Spot or On-Demand .

type TerminateInstancesWithExpiration

boolean

param TerminateInstancesWithExpiration

Indicates whether running instances should be terminated when the EC2 Fleet expires.

type Type

string

param Type

The type of request. Indicates whether the EC2 Fleet only requests the target capacity, or also attempts to maintain it. If you request a certain target capacity, EC2 Fleet only places the required requests. It does not attempt to replenish instances if capacity is diminished, and does not submit requests in alternative capacity pools if capacity is unavailable. To maintain a certain target capacity, EC2 Fleet places the required requests to meet this target capacity. It also automatically replenishes any interrupted Spot Instances. Default: maintain .

type ValidFrom

datetime

param ValidFrom

The start date and time of the request, in UTC format (for example, YYYY -MM -DD T*HH* :MM :SS Z). The default is to start fulfilling the request immediately.

type ValidUntil

datetime

param ValidUntil

The end date and time of the request, in UTC format (for example, YYYY -MM -DD T*HH* :MM :SS Z). At this point, no new EC2 Fleet requests are placed or able to fulfill the request. The default end date is 7 days from the current date.

type ReplaceUnhealthyInstances

boolean

param ReplaceUnhealthyInstances

Indicates whether EC2 Fleet should replace unhealthy instances.

type TagSpecifications

list

param TagSpecifications

The key-value pair for tagging the EC2 Fleet request on creation. The value for ResourceType must be fleet , otherwise the fleet request fails. To tag instances at launch, specify the tags in the launch template . For information about tagging after launch, see Tagging Your Resources .

  • (dict) --

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

    • ResourceType (string) --

    Warning

    Supplying both a snapshot ID and an encryption value as arguments for block-device mapping results in an error. This is because only blank volumes can be encrypted on start, and these are not created from a snapshot. If a snapshot is the basis for the volume, it contains data by definition and its encryption status cannot be changed using this action.

    • (dict) --

      Describes a block device mapping.

                • Priority (float) --

                  The priority for the launch template override. If AllocationStrategy is set to prioritized , EC2 Fleet uses priority to determine which launch template override to use first in fulfilling On-Demand capacity. The highest priority is launched first. Valid values are whole numbers starting at 0 . The lower the number, the higher the priority. If no number is set, the override has the lowest priority.

        • TargetCapacitySpecification (dict) --

          The number of units to request. You can choose to set the target capacity in terms of instances or a performance characteristic that is important to your application workload, such as vCPUs, memory, or I/O. If the request type is maintain , you can specify a target capacity of 0 and add capacity later.

          • TotalTargetCapacity (integer) --

        • Type (string) --

          The type of request. Indicates whether the EC2 Fleet only requests the target capacity, or also attempts to maintain it. If you request a certain target capacity, EC2 Fleet only places the required requests; it does not attempt to replenish instances if capacity is diminished, and does not submit requests in alternative capacity pools if capacity is unavailable. To maintain a certain target capacity, EC2 Fleet places the required requests to meet this target capacity. It also automatically replenishes any interrupted Spot Instances. Default: maintain .

        • ValidFrom (datetime) --

          The start date and time of the request, in UTC format (for example, YYYY -MM -DD T*HH* :MM :SS Z). The default is to start fulfilling the request immediately.

          • InstancePoolsToUseCount (integer) --

            The number of Spot pools across which to allocate your target Spot capacity. Valid only when AllocationStrategy is set to lowestPrice . EC2 Fleet selects the cheapest Spot pools and evenly allocates your target Spot capacity across the number of Spot pools that you specify.

        • OnDemandOptions (dict) --

          The allocation strategy of On-Demand Instances in an EC2 Fleet.

          • AllocationStrategy (string) --

            The order of the launch template overrides to use in fulfilling On-Demand capacity. If you specify lowest-price , EC2 Fleet uses price to determine the order, launching the lowest price first. If you specify prioritized , EC2 Fleet uses the priority that you assigned to each launch template override, launching the highest priority first. If you do not specify a value, EC2 Fleet defaults to lowest-price .

        • Tags (list) --

          The tags for an EC2 Fleet resource.

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.

If you describe instances in the rare case where an Availability Zone is experiencing a service disruption and you specify instance IDs that are in the affected zone, or do not specify any instance IDs at all, the call fails. If you describe instances and specify only instance IDs that are in an unaffected zone, the call works normally.

Describes Reserved Instance offerings that are available for purchase. With Reserved Instances, you purchase the right to launch instances for a period of time. During that time period, you do not receive insufficient capacity errors, and you pay a lower usage rate than the rate charged for On-Demand instances for the actual time used.

If you have listed your own Reserved Instances for sale in the Reserved Instance Marketplace, they will be excluded from these results. This is to ensure that you do not purchase your own Reserved Instances.

For more information, see Reserved Instance Marketplace in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

              • 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 ).

                  • 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.

                    • Encrypted (boolean) --

                      Indicates whether the EBS volume is encrypted. Encrypted volumes can only be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption. If you are creating a volume from a snapshot, you can't specify an encryption value. This is because only blank volumes can be encrypted on creation.

                    • DeleteOnTermination (boolean) --

                      Indicates whether the EBS volume is deleted on instance termination.

                    • Iops (integer) --

                      The number of I/O operations per second (IOPS) that the volume supports. For io1 , this represents the number of IOPS that are provisioned for the volume. For gp2 , this represents the baseline performance of the volume and the rate at which the volume accumulates I/O credits for bursting. For more information about General Purpose SSD baseline performance, I/O credits, and bursting, see Amazon EBS Volume Types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

                      Constraint: Range is 100-20000 IOPS for io1 volumes and 100-10000 IOPS for gp2 volumes.

                      Condition: This parameter is required for requests to create io1 volumes; it is not used in requests to create gp2 , st1 , sc1 , or standard volumes.

                    • KmsKeyId (string) --

                      Identifier (key ID, key alias, ID ARN, or alias ARN) for a user-managed CMK under which the EBS volume is encrypted.

                      This parameter is only supported on BlockDeviceMapping objects called by RunInstances , RequestSpotFleet , and RequestSpotInstances .

                    • SnapshotId (string) --

                      The ID of the snapshot.

                    • VolumeSize (integer) --

                      The size of the volume, in GiB.

                      Constraints: 1-16384 for General Purpose SSD (gp2 ), 4-16384 for Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1 ), 500-16384 for Throughput Optimized HDD (st1 ), 500-16384 for Cold HDD (sc1 ), and 1-1024 for Magnetic (standard ) volumes. If you specify a snapshot, the volume size must be equal to or larger than the snapshot size.

                      Default: If you're creating the volume from a snapshot and don't specify a volume size, the default is the snapshot size.

                    • VolumeType (string) --

                      The volume type: gp2 , io1 , st1 , sc1 , or standard .

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 .

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

If you specify a snapshot, the volume size must be equal to or larger than the snapshot size.

                  Default: If you're creating the volume from a snapshot and don't specify a volume size, the default is the snapshot size.

                • VolumeType (string) --

                  The volume type: gp2 , io1 , st1 , sc1 , or standard .

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 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 Instances. You cannot tag other resource types in a Spot Fleet request because only the instance resource type is supported.

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

type SpotFleetRequestConfig

dict

param SpotFleetRequestConfig

[REQUIRED]

The configuration for the Spot Fleet request.

  • AllocationStrategy (string) --

    Indicates how to allocate the target capacity across the Spot pools specified by the Spot Fleet request. The default is lowestPrice .

  • 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 .

  • 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 the target capacity of the Spot Fleet request is decreased below the current size of the Spot Fleet.

  • FulfilledCapacity (float) --

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

  • OnDemandFulfilledCapacity (float) --

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

  • IamFleetRole (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    Grants the Spot Fleet permission to 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.

    • (dict) --

      Describes the launch specification for one or more Spot Instances.

      • 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 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.

            • Encrypted (boolean) --

              Indicates whether the EBS volume is encrypted. Encrypted volumes can only be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption. If you are creating a volume from a snapshot, you can't specify an encryption value. This is because only blank volumes can be encrypted on creation.

            • Iops (integer) --

              The number of I/O operations per second (IOPS) that the volume supports. For io1 , this represents the number of IOPS that are provisioned for the volume. For gp2 , this represents the baseline performance of the volume and the rate at which the volume accumulates I/O credits for bursting. For more information about General Purpose SSD baseline performance, I/O credits, and bursting, see Amazon EBS Volume Types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

              Constraint: Range is 100-20000 IOPS for io1 volumes and 100-10000 IOPS for gp2 volumes.

              Condition: This parameter is required for requests to create io1 volumes; it is not used in requests to create gp2 , st1 , sc1 , or standard volumes.

            • KmsKeyId (string) --

              Identifier (key ID, key alias, ID ARN, or alias ARN) for a user-managed CMK under which the EBS volume is encrypted.

              This parameter is only supported on BlockDeviceMapping objects called by RunInstances , RequestSpotFleet , and RequestSpotInstances .

            • SnapshotId (string) --

              The ID of the snapshot.

            • VolumeSize (integer) --

              The size of the volume, in GiB.

              Constraints: 1-16384 for General Purpose SSD (gp2 ), 4-16384 for Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1 ), 500-16384 for Throughput Optimized HDD (st1 ), 500-16384 for Cold HDD (sc1 ), and 1-1024 for Magnetic (standard ) volumes. If you specify a snapshot, the volume size must be equal to or larger than the snapshot size.

            • VolumeType (string) --

              The volume type: gp2 , io1 , st1 , sc1 , or standard .

              Default: standard

          • NoDevice (string) --

            Suppresses the specified device included in the block device mapping of the AMI.

      • EbsOptimized (boolean) --

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.

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 ).

      • 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.

        • Encrypted (boolean) --

          Indicates whether the EBS volume is encrypted. Encrypted volumes can only be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption. If you are creating a volume from a snapshot, you can't specify an encryption value. This is because only blank volumes can be encrypted on creation.

        • DeleteOnTermination (boolean) --

          Indicates whether the EBS volume is deleted on instance termination.

        • Iops (integer) --

          The number of I/O operations per second (IOPS) that the volume supports. For io1 , this represents the number of IOPS that are provisioned for the volume. For gp2 , this represents the baseline performance of the volume and the rate at which the volume accumulates I/O credits for bursting. For more information about General Purpose SSD baseline performance, I/O credits, and bursting, see Amazon EBS Volume Types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

          Constraint: Range is 100-20000 IOPS for io1 volumes and 100-10000 IOPS for gp2 volumes.

          Condition: This parameter is required for requests to create io1 volumes; it is not used in requests to create gp2 , st1 , sc1 , or standard volumes.

        • KmsKeyId (string) --

          Identifier (key ID, key alias, ID ARN, or alias ARN) for a user-managed CMK under which the EBS volume is encrypted.

          This parameter is only supported on BlockDeviceMapping objects called by RunInstances , RequestSpotFleet , and RequestSpotInstances .

        • SnapshotId (string) --

          The ID of the snapshot.

        • VolumeSize (integer) --

          The size of the volume, in GiB.

          Constraints: 1-16384 for General Purpose SSD (gp2 ), 4-16384 for Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1 ), 500-16384 for Throughput Optimized HDD (st1 ), 500-16384 for Cold HDD (sc1 ), and 1-1024 for Magnetic (standard ) volumes. If you specify a snapshot, the volume size must be equal to or larger than the snapshot size.

          Default: If you're creating the volume from a snapshot and don't specify a volume size, the default is the snapshot size.

        • VolumeType (string) --

          The volume type: gp2 , io1 , st1 , sc1 , or standard .

          Default: standard

      • NoDevice (string) --

        Suppresses the specified device included in the block device mapping of the AMI.

  • 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.

    • Name (string) --

    • Enabled (boolean) -- [REQUIRED]

      Indicates whether detailed monitoring is enabled. Otherwise, basic monitoring is enabled.

  • NetworkInterfaces (list) --

    One or more network interfaces. If you specify a network interface, you must specify subnet IDs and security group IDs using the network interface.

    • (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 index of the device on the instance for the network interface attachment. If you are specifying a network interface in a RunInstances request, you must provide the device index.

      • Groups (list) --

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

        • (string) --

      • Ipv6AddressCount (integer) --

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.

If you specify a snapshot, the volume size must be equal to or larger than the snapshot size.

                  Default: If you're creating the volume from a snapshot and don't specify a volume size, the default is the snapshot size.

                • VolumeType (string) --

                  The volume type: gp2 , io1 , st1 , sc1 , or standard .

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 in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

For troubleshooting, see What To Do If An Instance Immediately Terminates , and Troubleshooting Connecting to Your Instance in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

type BlockDeviceMappings

list

param BlockDeviceMappings

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 ).

    • 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.

      • Encrypted (boolean) --

        Indicates whether the EBS volume is encrypted. Encrypted volumes can only be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption. If you are creating a volume from a snapshot, you can't specify an encryption value. This is because only blank volumes can be encrypted on creation.

      • DeleteOnTermination (boolean) --

        Indicates whether the EBS volume is deleted on instance termination.

      • Iops (integer) --

        The number of I/O operations per second (IOPS) that the volume supports. For io1 , this represents the number of IOPS that are provisioned for the volume. For gp2 , this represents the baseline performance of the volume and the rate at which the volume accumulates I/O credits for bursting. For more information about General Purpose SSD baseline performance, I/O credits, and bursting, see Amazon EBS Volume Types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

        Constraint: Range is 100-20000 IOPS for io1 volumes and 100-10000 IOPS for gp2 volumes.

        Condition: This parameter is required for requests to create io1 volumes; it is not used in requests to create gp2 , st1 , sc1 , or standard volumes.

      • KmsKeyId (string) --

        Identifier (key ID, key alias, ID ARN, or alias ARN) for a user-managed CMK under which the EBS volume is encrypted.

        This parameter is only supported on BlockDeviceMapping objects called by RunInstances , RequestSpotFleet , and RequestSpotInstances .

      • SnapshotId (string) --

        The ID of the snapshot.

      • VolumeSize (integer) --

        The size of the volume, in GiB.

        Constraints: 1-16384 for General Purpose SSD (gp2 ), 4-16384 for Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1 ), 500-16384 for Throughput Optimized HDD (st1 ), 500-16384 for Cold HDD (sc1 ), and 1-1024 for Magnetic (standard ) volumes. If you specify a snapshot, the volume size must be equal to or larger than the snapshot size.

        Default: If you're creating the volume from a snapshot and don't specify a volume size, the default is the snapshot size.

      • VolumeType (string) --
